Entering the industrial era 4.0, where all economic activities began to shift to all digital, financial institutions were required to adapt, including Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT). As a financial institution that has played an important role in the development of the Islamic economy, it has become a necessity for BMT to adapt to this change. The economic slowdown due to Covid-19 has reduced payment activity, but has accelerated the adoption of digital financial technology.
