Although Indonesia has a predominantly Muslim population, the market share of Islamic banking in 2020 remained relatively modest at only 6.18%. One of the major challenges lies in the low savings interest among the younger generation. Previous studies have investigated the influence of knowledge, reputation, environment, and religiosity on saving behavior; however, the findings remain inconclusive, thereby creating a research gap that merits further exploration. The novelty of this study lies in its simultaneous examination of these four variables within the context of vocational high school students majoring in Sharia banking who have direct access to a school-based mini-bank facility, an environment that has rarely been addressed in prior research. Employing a quantitative approach, the study utilized a survey method with purposive sampling involving 139 students from SMK Negeri 1 Purwokerto. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression, preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The findings reveal that knowledge exerts a significant negative effect on saving interest, while reputation, environment, and religiosity demonstrate significant positive effects. Collectively, these four variables significantly influence saving interest, with a coefficient of determination of 40.2%. This study highlights that Islamic banks may enhance their attractiveness to young customers by strengthening institutional reputation, fostering supportive environments, and reinforcing religious values. Nevertheless, positive perceptions of products and services should be complemented by improved financial knowledge to further optimize savings interest in Islamic banking

This study aims to analyse and compare the financial performance of Bank Aceh Syariah (BAS) and Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). The two banks have different structural and operational characteristics, with BAS being the first regional bank to fully convert to the sharia system, while BSI is the largest sharia bank in Indonesia, resulting from the merger of three state-owned banks. This study employs a qualitative method with a comparative approach to four key financial ratios: non-performing financing (NPF), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), liquidity ratio (FDR), and return on equity (ROE). The results indicate that BSI generally outperforms BAS in terms of financial performance. BSI demonstrates lower financing risk, stronger capitalisation, healthy liquidity, and higher profitability. Meanwhile, BAS continues to show good stability and strategic relevance in Aceh's economic development. This comparison is expected to provide insights to stakeholders in evaluating the strengths and challenges of each bank in supporting the national sharia financial system.

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of macroeconomic factors and company fundamentals on the Business Performance of Sharia banking in Indonesia. The study analysed monthly data from BI, OJK, and BPS for the years 2019-2023 using regression tests. The method used is regression analysis, with data drawn from the Sharia banking industry and macroeconomic indicators over the period from 2019 to 2023. The independent macroeconomic variables included inflation, exchange rate, and GDP, while company fundamentals were represented by FDR, CAR, BOPO, DPK, and NPF. Business Performance, as the dependent variable, was measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The results showed Indonesia experienced fluctuating economic conditions from 2019 to 2023, with low inflation and a varying exchange rate. Islamic banking in Indonesia showed strong fundamentals, with a healthy average ROA of 0.85% and a robust CAR of 16.48%; however, BOPO negatively and significantly impacts ROA, while CAR and FDR have minimal effects on ROA in Islamic banking. Inflation negatively affects ROA by increasing production costs, reducing overall banking profitability. To sustain growth, banks should focus on financing SMEs and leveraging digital technology for improved efficiency. This study focuses on the Sharia banking sector in Indonesia and incorporates both company fundamentals and macroeconomic variables. The findings will be valuable for policy-making and research in the field of Sharia banking in Indonesia.

Digital transformation in Islamic banking opens significant opportunities to improve efficiency, financial inclusion, and customer satisfaction. However, despite this progress, the adoption of Islamic mobile banking still lags behind that of conventional banks. This study aims to analyze several determinants influencing the intention to adopt Islamic mobile banking in Samarinda using the UTAUT2 theoretical framework. This study employed a quantitative approach, with 165 respondents selected through conventional sampling. Data collection used an online questionnaire, which was then processed using the SEM-PLS technique. Data analysis showed that habit, social influence, enabling conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, effort expectancy, and performance expectancy significantly influenced intention to use. Gender, age, and experience were shown to moderate some of the relationships between variables on intention to use. These findings provide a basis for developing digitalization strategies for Islamic banks that are more adaptive to consumer preferences.
