This study aims to analyze the strategies used by Islamic banks to improve Islamic financial literacy in the digital era and to identify the challenges and opportunities that arise during their implementation. A mixed method approach with a concurrent triangulation design was applied, combining qualitative data collected through interviews and document analysis with quantitative data gathered from community perception surveys regarding Islamic financial literacy. Data analysis involved thematic content analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative data, which were later integrated through triangulation to produce more comprehensive findings. The results indicate that Islamic banks implement strategies centered on the synergy between direct educational programs, collaboration with academic institutions and communities, and the utilization of digital technology through applications and social media platforms. The findings also reveal a significant literacy gap, particularly among younger generations and groups with limited digital access. Nevertheless, opportunities for literacy improvement continue to expand through internet penetration, digital innovation, and increasing public trust in the Islamic financial system. Overall, the study concludes that the success of Islamic financial literacy programs depends on the sustainable integration of educational and digital strategies.

MSMEs play a key role in the national economy, especially in increasing economic growth and creating new jobs. However, in the digital era, MSMEs face major problems, such as low levels of digital literacy, limited access to the internet, and fierce competition with large companies that have used technology before. This study examines the variables that influence the sustainability of MSMEs amidst digital challenges and finds methods that can be used so that MSMEs can survive and grow. The research method was carried out through surveys and direct interviews with MSME actors at Pasar Pagi Setia Budi, Medan, North Sumatra. The results of the study showed that most MSME actors did not utilize digital platforms for marketing and transactions, which resulted in decreased income. To increase competitiveness, MSMEs need to improve their digital knowledge, adopt online marketing strategies, and optimize the use of e-commerce and social media. Support from the government, financial institutions, and technology companies is also very important. In the increasingly competitive digital era, by implementing the right digitalization strategy, MSMEs can improve operational efficiency, expand market reach, and maintain the sustainability of their business.
