The rapid growth of financial technology has made financial activities more practical yet it has also heightened the risk of consumptive behavior among Generation Z due to limited financial literacy and self-control. 147 Generation Z BCA Mobile customers in Surabaya provided primary data for this study, which uses a quantitative methodology. Purposive sampling was used to choose respondents based on predetermined standards. The Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data.
