One of the Islamic banking institutions that continues to develop is Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Pekanbaru City. However, in reality, there are still some members of the public who are not fully interested in becoming customers of Islamic banks, which is influenced by the level of religiosity and understanding of Islamic financial literacy.
