Fintech or financial technology is an alternative path in the financial sector based on information technology. Fintech as an innovation from electronic financing institutions provides many benefits, but on the other hand there are also weaknesses that are still a problem in society, namely data leakage in the fintech system which is implemented electronically. One of the companies that experienced a data leak is PT Fintech Cermati. In Indonesian regulations, preventive and repressive efforts against data leaks have been regulated in OJK Regulation (POJK) Number 77 of 2016 concerning Information Technology-Based Money Lending Services and Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection which regulates the Company's obligations in maintaining the confidentiality of its consumer data. This study aims to determine the extent of compliance and responsibility of PT Fintech Cermati for the protection of its consumers' personal data. The research method used in this study is descriptive analytical, namely against data that has been collected as completely as possible through secondary data from relevant literature sources to be discussed and explained systematically with primary data in the form of literature studies with an analytical concept approach method. The results of this study indicate that the company's obligation to comply with the provisions of Article 16 of the PDP Law in conjunction with Article 26 and Article 28 of POJK 77/2016 concerning maintaining the confidentiality of personal and company data can be held accountable in civil and criminal matters.

The rapid development of technology has significantly influenced various economic sectors, including finance. Digitalization has introduced opportunities to create more efficient, transparent, and inclusive financial services. Within Islamic finance, technological advancements address challenges such as limited access to Sharia-compliant financial services and complexities in applying Sharia principles practically.

The findings emphasize that effective regulations and strategic government support are critical to fostering Sharia fintech as a pillar of the Islamic economy. With strengthened collaboration between stakeholders, Sharia fintech can contribute significantly to financial inclusion and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the factors affecting the use behavior of the Flip.id application using the UTAUT2 framework. The results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence positively affect behavioral intention. Meanwhile, facilitating conditions and behavioral intention positively influence use behavior. The study found that facilitating conditions and performance expectancy are the strongest antecedents in this research. The findings also reveal a negative effect of hedonic motivation on behavioral intention, while price value does not influence behavioral intention to use the Flip.id application. The moderation testing of experience on facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation shows a positive relationship. However, perceived credibility does not moderate the relationship between behavioral intention and use behavior. Based on the findings, it is evident that the ease of application use, adequate facilities, usefulness, and recommendations play crucial roles in increasing behavioral intention. Conversely, emotional and financial aspects do not demonstrate significant importance for users. This study provides implications for Flip application developers to enhance functional features, user education, and other facilities that support transaction processes within the application.

Personal financial management in the digital era is a crucial aspect affecting the economic well-being of individuals and families. Amidst global economic dynamics, financial technology development, and increasing daily needs, the ability to manage finances effectively has become increasingly essential. This research explores strategies and implementations for optimizing personal financial management in the digital era, focusing on financial literacy, financial technology use, and healthy financial habits. The research results indicate that financial literacy in Indonesia is still low, with a score of 57 below the global average (60), and the national financial literacy rate only reached 49.68% in 2022. On the other hand, financial inclusion has reached 85.10%, highlighting a gap between access to and understanding of financial matters.

A holistic approach to financial management includes financial literacy, forming healthy financial habits, and using technology to support financial management. This webinar aims to educate and promote implementing adaptive, responsive, and effective personal financial management in facing modern financial challenges.

The rapid development of technology has led to innovations in various areas, including mobile payments. Mobile payments are one of the innovations in financial technology designed to facilitate online transactions. In Indonesia, there are numerous mobile payment service providers, making competition increasingly fierce. One of the popular e-wallets in Indonesia is ShopeePay, a service created by Shopee. This study aims to analyze the importance and performance levels of various electronic service quality factors and assess user satisfaction with ShopeePay. This research is a survey-based study with a sample of 100 respondents. The analysis was conducted using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) to measure the importance and performance of each ShopeePay service quality factor and the satisfaction of its users. The results show that out of 24 ShopeePay service quality factors, 13 were considered important by respondents. The average importance rating was 4.07, while the average performance rating was 3.94. This results in a harmony between importance and performance of 97%. The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) for ShopeePay services in the Banten area was 78.77%, placing it in the "satisfying" category. This study has several limitations, including its focus on the Banten area, a limited and homogeneous respondent group, potential bias from online surveys, and not accounting for external factors or long-term changes in user perceptions of ShopeePay.

The financial technology (fintech) industry in Indonesia has grown rapidly in recent years, having a significant impact on financial inclusion in the country. Fintech provides easier and faster access to financial services, especially for segments of society previously marginalized by the traditional banking system. Fintech services such as digital payments, online loans, and technology-based investments have expanded financial reach to communities in remote areas, MSMEs, and individuals with limited access to conventional banking services. However, with the rapid growth of fintech, challenges arise related to regulation and consumer protection. Inadequate regulation can lead to security risks, legal uncertainty, and potential abuse in digital financial services. Therefore, the Indonesian government has implemented various policies to regulate and supervise the fintech industry, such as the establishment of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) as the main supervisors. This study aims to analyze the impact of fintech developments on financial inclusion in Indonesia and evaluate the effectiveness of existing regulations in protecting consumers and encouraging the growth of the fintech sector. The results of this research show that although fintech has the potential to significantly increase financial inclusion, more comprehensive regulations and strict law enforcement are needed to ensure that the benefits of fintech can be felt evenly and safely by all levels of society.

The development of financial technology, especially with the introduction of the digital rupiah, presents new challenges in the supervision and prevention of money laundering (TPPU) in Indonesia. Although existing regulations are sufficient to regulate conventional transactions, these regulations are not fully prepared to anticipate potential money laundering risks related to digital transactions. This study identifies shortcomings in existing TPPU policies, including limited supervisory infrastructure, lack of regulations for cross-border transactions, and challenges in verifying identity in digital transactions. More adaptive policy reforms and comprehensive regulatory updates are needed to address these challenges. Applying advanced technology, strengthening coordination between related institutions, and public education is key to creating a safe and trusted financial ecosystem in dealing with financial technology-based transactions, including Rupiah Digital.
