With financial inclusion acting as a moderator, the goal of this study is to examine how financial technology use and financial literacy impact microbusiness performance. Microbusinesses in Bandar Lampung City's food and beverage industry serve as the research subjects. This study employs a quantitative approach, using questionnaires to collect primary data from microenterprises. Purposeful sampling was used to choose 203 microbusinesses that met the research criteria. SPSS was utilized to analyze the data using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The study's conclusions imply that the use of financial technology has an effect on microenterprises' performance. Additionally, it has been shown that financial literacy affects microenterprise performance. The findings show that key components in increasing microbusiness performance are the use of financial technology and the entrepreneur's capacity to supervise and make financial decisions. However, the test results indicate that financial inclusion cannot boost the impact of financial technology and financial expertise on microbusiness performance. This implies that the influence of financial technology and financial knowledge on business success is not necessarily enhanced by having access to financial services. It also shows that a key factor in increasing the success of microbusinesses is the characteristics of the entrepreneur. The research's objectives are to assist important stakeholders in creating plans for microenterprise growth, as well as to assist microenterprise actors in improving their financial literacy and utilizing financial technology to its fullest.

Recently, the public has been shocked by the high number of bad debts among Millennials. The development of digital technology brings various conveniences, but also presents new threats to children and teenagers. The high percentage of online loan borrowers aged 19-34 years, as well as children who are caught in online gambling, is a major concern. Around 60 percent of online loan users (pinjol) have an easy target of young people aged 19-34 years, and even 80 thousand children under the age of 10 are caught in online gambling (judol). The problem is, the Millennial generation or those aged 19-34 years are the largest "contributors" to these bad debts. Various experts say that the Millennial generation is in debt because of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon, aka following trends so as not to feel "left behind". Some other experts think that their financial literacy is low.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of financial literacy, financial technology, and financial behavior on the financial performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. The approach used is descriptive quantitative, with primary data obtained through distributing questionnaires to 215 active MSME players.

Meanwhile, financial behaviors such as budget management, transaction recording, and regular financial evaluation have been proven to improve the stability and growth of business finances.

The results of this study emphasize the importance of comprehensive counseling and training on financial literacy and the use of financial technology to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs in the face of increasingly competitive market challenges.
