Abstract

This study aims to analyse the impact of Financial Technology (Fintech), Self-Control, and Financial Knowledge on Financial Management Behaviour among students in the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Management at Swadaya Gunung Jati University (UGJ) in Cirebon in the digital age. Integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), this study explores how access to technology, psychological self-control, and financial literacy shape personal financial management behaviour.
