Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, financial attitudes, lifestyle, and financial inclusion on the financial behavior of MSMEs in Banyumas Regency.

Data analysis was performed using the SEM-SmartPLS 3.0 tool from September to December 2025. The results showed that financial literacy, financial attitudes, lifestyle, and financial inclusion had a significant positive effect on financial behavior. These findings highlight the importance of increasing managerial training capacity through and utilizing access to formal financial services to strengthen the financial resilience of MSMEs.
