The results showed that the transparency of financial management in Koperasi Merah Putih was categorized as good, especially in terms of financial information disclosure and management accountability. The results of hypothesis testing indicated that financial management transparency had a positive and significant effect on member trust and member participation. In addition, member trust also had a positive effect on member participation in cooperative activities.
