Abstract

This activity is aimed at the community, especially the main focus is children who need guidance on early savings awareness. The community service team from Universitas Prima Indonesia will conduct socialization activities for children at the Berkat Iman Orphanage. The method in implementing community service is in the form of socialization and discussion between UNPRI lecturers, administrators and children of the Berkat Iman Sejahtera Orphanage. This community service activity was carried out at the Berkat Iman Sejahtera Orphanage, Jalan Sampul No. 49, Sei Putih Barat, Medan Petisah District, Medan City. The target of this community service activity is administrators and early childhood children. A total of 25 orphanage children aged 7 months - 14 years accompanied by 5 administrators have participated in the socialization activity. The results of this activity can be concluded that many children at the Berkat Iman Sejahtera Orphanage still do not know about how to save properly. Administrators at the Berkat Iman Sejahtera Orphanage have additional knowledge and understanding related to how to manage finances through saving from an early age. Administrators and children become aware of good ways to save.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of demographics, financial literacy, and social media on online loan users or fintech lending users in Medan City. The growing use of online loan services indicates that digital financial platforms have become an alternative source of financing for the public due to their accessibility, fast process, and flexibility. This research applies a quantitative approach with a causal associative method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 60 respondents who had used or were currently using online loan services in Medan City, including students, employees/professionals, and freelancers. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings reveal that, partially, demographic factors and social media have a positive and significant effect on the use of online loans, while financial literacy does not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, demographics, financial literacy, and social media significantly influence the use of online loans. These findings indicate a behavioral gap, in which the use of online loans is more strongly driven by individual characteristics and exposure to digital information than by financial understanding.
