Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the use of QRIS in MSMEs in Medan City so that they can encourage and advance MSMEs, so that they can encourage digital development. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative, namely data that is not expressed in numerical form. Rather, the data is expressed in the form of words and sentences.  With the existence of QRIS for MSMEs, digital payments can increase transaction efficiency and reduce operational costs for MSMEs. MSMEs in Medan City often lose money, which can threaten the sustainability of their business. The implementation of QRIS in Medan City has reached approximately 58.6% of users. Of the large number of users, there are still some business activities, especially MSMEs, that have not utilized the use of QRIS which can help accelerate the use and development of the digital economy. It can be concluded that the use of QRIS for MSMEs in Medan City can be an effective strategy in encouraging digital economic growth at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of investment knowledge on investment decisions, moderated by investment interest, among students at Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU) and Universitas Muslim Nusantara (UMN). The research examines whether investment knowledge directly influences investment decisions and how investment interest strengthens this relationship. Using statistical analysis, the t-value of 4.045 with a significance level of 0.021 was obtained, indicating that investment knowledge significantly affects investment decisions when moderated by investment interest. The findings reveal that investment knowledge positively influences investment interest, and investment interest plays a key role in strengthening the effect of knowledge on investment decisions. Specifically, UISU and UMN students with good investment knowledge tend to be more active in making investment decisions, especially when they also have a high interest in investing. Despite differences in the social and educational backgrounds of students at both universities, the roles of investment knowledge and interest as driving factors for investment decisions remain significant. This research offers practical implications for educational institutions and financial organizations to enhance financial literacy through programs that not only deliver information about investments but also motivate students to become more engaged in the world of investing. These findings emphasize the importance of combining knowledge and interest as the foundation for rational and active investment decision-making.
