EconBank: Journal of Economics and Banking ISSN 2685-3698 Volume 7 Nomor 1, 2025 Technological advancements have driven transformation in the payment system, making it more efficient and effective. In 2019. Kemenkop UKM reported that 3. 79 million MSMEs have utilized online platforms, equivalent to 8% of the total MSMEs in Indonesia. To accelerate the digitalization of MSMEs, the government launched the Au8 Million MSMEs Go OnlineAy program, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communication and Information and ecommerce players. The development of information technology also affects people's transaction behavior, which is increasingly shifting from cash to non-cash. People now prefer transactions using electronic money, digital wallets, and debit cards because of the convenience and various benefits such as cashback and discounts offered. To encourage the growth of the digital economy in Indonesia. Bank Indonesia (BI) plans to launch several initiatives for digital rupiah development. One of the key strategies is to expand the use of national standards in the payment system. According to a BI report, the Quick Response Code Indonesia Standard (QRIS) service is expected to reach 45 million users and one billion transactions by 2023 (BI, 2. In addition. BI will promote collaboration between village banks and industry sectors, and unify the national payment system as a whole to improve efficiency (Bank Indonesia, 2. Translated with DeepL. ree versio. As part of its digitalization strategy. BI also plans to encourage banking digitalization and support e-commerce to achieve unicorn status. Research shows that banking digitization can expand access to financial services and improve financial inclusion (Smith et al. , 2. BI also plans to increase engagement with the ecommerce sector by providing support to achieve unicorn status (Doe, 2. At the 2022 Bank Indonesia Annual Meeting (PBTI). BI launched a white paper on the development of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) or digital rupiah. This project, named Project Garuda, signals Indonesia's readiness to follow in the footsteps of countries that have already implemented legal tender digital payments (BI, 2. This white paper outlines the strategic and technical steps for the launch of CBDC in Indonesia (O'Brien, 2. According to recent data. BI also plans to consolidate the national payment system industry end-to-end to improve efficiency and security. Research shows that payment system integration can reduce transaction costs and increase processing speed (Adams et al. , 2. will focus its efforts on payment system integration to make it more efficient in supporting the digital economy (Lee, 2. These digitization initiatives also involve upgrading existing payment systems with the adoption of the latest technologies. Reports from BI show that the use of QRIS has accelerated cashless transactions in Indonesia (BI, 2. With the adoption of these technologies, it is expected that there will be a significant increase in the number of digital transactions and the use of payment apps (Miller & Roberts, 2. BI also underscores the importance of support for MSMEs to adapt to digital changes. Data shows that digitizing MSMEs can significantly improve their competitiveness (Wilson, 2. Through these programs. BI hopes to accelerate the digital transformation of MSMEs and expand their market access (Green, 2. Pasar Manis in Purwokerto was chosen by Bank Indonesia and the local government as the QRIS pilot project location because it has been recognized by the Ministry of Trade as the best traditional market. This market meets the QRIS S. P standard (Healthy. Innovative, and Safe to Us. which is expected to be a successful example in the implementation of noncash payments. The pandemic has changed people's payment habits, which are now more inclined towards cashless transactions. Even so, the adoption of QRIS in public markets still Financial and Digital Literacy: Their Impact on.

The selection of Pasar Manis by BI Purwokerto and the local government as a QRIS pilot project is based on the Ministry of Trade's recognition of superior market management. This market meets the QRIS S. P qualifications and is expected to become a successful With the change in payment habits post-pandemic, public markets need to adapt to the cashless payment system. Challenges in implementing QRIS include the readiness of market managers, traders, and the community in adopting this technology (Febrinda & Ningsih, 2. Bank Indonesia and the local government chose Pasar Manis as the QRIS implementation location because this market has received an award from the Ministry of Trade as the best traditional market. This market meets the QRIS S. P standard and is projected to be successful in its implementation. Changes in payment habits during the pandemic accelerated the adaptation of cashless transactions. However, the implementation of QRIS in public markets requires adjustments as the technology is still new to many merchants and buyers (Febrinda & Ningsih, 2. Figure 1. Number of QRIS Users in the Culinary Sector in Pasar Manis Source: Primary data 2024 Based on the data, the number of culinary sectors in Pasar Manis is around 97 outlets which are divided into two, namely in the morning and at night. The morning culinary sector has a smaller number than the evening culinary sector.

Payment digitization requires a good understanding of financial and digital literacy (Lee & Johnson, 2. Pasar Manis Purwokerto was assessed to meet the S. P QRIS standard and was selected as a pilot project by Bank Indonesia (Bank Indonesia, 2. However, a survey shows that some merchants in the culinary sector are still hesitant to use QRIS due to fraud concerns (Febrinda & Ningsih, 2. This research is important to find out whether the hesitation is due to a lack of financial and digital literacy among merchants (Taylor, 2. The importance of financial literacy in the use of cashless payment systems cannot be ignored (Miller & Roberts, 2.

QRIS is expected to accelerate financial inclusion in Indonesia, support the progress of MSMEs, and encourage economic growth through lowering transaction costs or increasing payment efficiency (Sriekaningsih, 2. Transactions through QRIS can use a source of funds in the form of deposits or payment instruments such as debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money with server-based storage The maximum QRIS transaction limit is ten million rupiah (Rp10,000,000. per Currently, all provinces in Indonesia and almost all municipal districts have been connected to the QRIS service. Small businesses have utilized QRIS in various locations, including traditional markets, shopping centers, universities, schools, and places of worship. QRIS has also been implemented for payment of parking fees, local government levies, as well Financial and Digital Literacy: Their Impact on. (Anggraeni et al,:76-. as various other types of fees at tourist sites. QRIS has advantages that are summarized in the characteristics of UNGGUL (BankIndonesia, 2. According to Garman and Forgue . n Kartawinata & Mubaraq, 2. , financial literacy is an understanding of the facts, concepts, principles, and technological tools that underlie the ability to use money wisely. Financial literacy plays an important role in shaping smart and responsible transaction behavior. Financial literacy is a process or activity that aims to increase the knowledge, skills, and confidence of consumers and the community so that they are able to manage personal finances effectively. The main objective of financial literacy is to educate consumers about their rights and responsibilities, and to explain the benefits and risks of various financial products, so that they can make more informed financial decisions that suit their needs. Financial literacy is a crucial factor in money management, where individuals with high financial literacy tend to be wiser in managing money, avoid consumptive behavior, and be more frugal in spending.
