This study examines whether mobile money is perceived as sufficient relative to a bank account using Global Findex 2024 microdata. It uses a new survey question that asks mobile money users whether their account meets all financial needs or whether they would still like to open a bank account. Based on more than 8,000 mobile money users across 33 economies, the analysis estimates country fixed-effects logit models with demographic, socioeconomic, digital-access, risk, and saving and borrowing behaviour, alongside heterogeneity by gender, rural-urban status, and income. About 59% of users report that mobile money is sufficient. Perceived mobile-money sufficiency is positively associated with being female, older, less-educated, and outside the workforce. By contrast, internet use, wrong-number transfer errors, fraud attempts, climate-shock exposure, and borrowing experience are negatively associated with perceived sufficiency. Saving through mobile money is one of the strongest positive correlates. The findings suggest that mobile money is more likely to be perceived as sufficient for selected banking functions, especially transfers, liquidity management, and basic saving, but less likely to be viewed as replacing the broader security, recourse, credit, and intermediation associated with formal banking.

In the contemporary Indonesian economy, banks serve as fundamental financial institutions that play a pivotal role in shaping economic activity, influencing income distribution, and maintaining price stability. The introduction of sharia banking in 1992 was largely driven by concerns within the Muslim community regarding the permissibility of interest (riba) under Islamic law. As a result, sharia banking emerged as an alternative financial system that aligns with Islamic principles, offering interest-free banking solutions. This study provides a comprehensive descriptive analysis of Indonesia's regulatory and legal preparedness in supporting the growth and sustainability of sharia banking institutions over the past three decades. It examines key factors such as economic potential, the availability of skilled human resources, and disparities in asset accumulation between conventional and sharia banks. Additionally, this research assesses the significant developments in the sharia banking sector over the past five years, highlighting key achievements, policy advancements, and institutional reforms aimed at enhancing financial inclusion and competitiveness. Furthermore, the study explores the prospects and challenges of sharia banking in the era of technological disruption. The rapid evolution of digital financial services, fintech integration, and regulatory advancements have created both opportunities and obstacles for the sector. While technology facilitates greater accessibility and operational efficiency, it also poses challenges related to cybersecurity, regulatory adaptation, and market competition. By analyzing these dynamics, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the future trajectory of sharia banking in Indonesia and its potential contributions to a more inclusive and resilient financial system.

This study aims to analyze potential collaboration models between sharia fintech and Bank Pembiayaan Rakyat Syariah (BPRS) in Indonesia and to determine which model offers the highest strategic impact according to expert judgment. Using the Analytic Network Process (ANP), this research evaluates four alternative collaboration models identified through literature review and expert interviews. The first model is Sharia Fintech as a Technology Enabler and Referral Partner, where fintech provides prospective customer referrals to BPRS. The second model is Sharia Fintech as a Technology Enabler and Distribution Channel, functioning as a fund channeling intermediary between BPRS and customers. The third model positions fintech as a technology enabler for creditworthiness assessment, focusing solely on credit scoring activities. The fourth model is Sharia Fintech as a Sharia Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Financing Enabler, in which fintech provides a project marketplace for BPRS to fund, with financing flows conducted through the P2P platform. ANP results show that Model 4 is the most preferred option, while Model 3 is the least recommended. Managerially, BPRS should prioritize Model 4 and establish a joint coordination team with fintech under the supervision of the sharia fintech association.
Waqf management represents a vital component of Islamic finance, ensuring the efficient administration of assets allocated for charitable and religious objectives in alignment with Shariah principles. A standardized evaluation framework, such as the Waqf Cores Principles Implementation Index (WCPII), is crucial for enhancing the governance and performance of waqf institutions. Established in 2021, the WCPII offers a systematic framework for evaluating the efficacy of waqf managers (nazir) in applying essential principles. This paper has three objectives. First, this study uses focus group discussion (FGD) with waqf experts to assess the WCPII and whether additional variables or indicators are eliminated. Second, this study will develop a website-based WCPII digital application prototype to help Indonesia's waqf regulator analyze waqf institutions' management. Third, this work examines the IPB University Waqf Institution's WCPII implementation. For the first objective, this study developed the WCPII by including key variables representing the implementation of the seventeen waqf core principles. At least two indicators should be added to the current variables to make assessing and evaluating WCP implementation in waqf institutions more meaningful. For the second objective, this research was successful in creating a direct website-based application on BWI's Nazir e-service website, which BWI can then use to evaluate Nazir governance and administration. For the third research objective, the IPB University waqf institution obtained a total score of 0.905, indicating that it accomplished excellently in implementing the indicators in this index. This study has important implications for waqf management in Indonesia and beyond. Enhancing the WCPII with extra indicators and creating a digital application offers waqf regulators and institutions a more effective tool for assessing and advancing waqf governance. This study's findings and technological innovations enhance the management of waqf assets in Indonesia and provide a model applicable to waqf institutions in other countries, thereby reinforcing global waqf management practices.
