This also has an impact on the banking sector, including BPR which are financial institutions that play a key role in supporting economic growth at the local level by providing banking services to the MSME sector. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Covid-19 on the financial performance of rural banks by determining whether there were differences before and during Covid-19. Quantitative research with a descriptive approach was employed for this study. The data used is secondary data derived from the publication of financial reports which can be accessed via the Financial Services Authority website with the data period 2018-2021. The financial performance ratios used are Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operational Income Operating Cost (BOPO), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Non-Performing Loan (NPL), Earning Assets Quality (KAP), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Cash ratio, and Current Ratio (CR). The data were processed using the Paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test using the EViews 12 application. The findings of this study show that bank performance from LDR has significant differences, while the performance of CAR, ROA, ROE, BOPO, NIM, NPL, KAP, Cash ratio, and CR did not exhibit significant differences before and during the pandemic.
