This study aims to analyze the influence of e-wallet use on the financial management of Generation Z students of the Management Study Program Semester 8 of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Bina Bangsa University, with financial literacy as a mediating variable. The research method used was an associative quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research population amounted to 537 active students, with the number of samples determined using the Slovin formula and the non-probability sampling technique of the accidental sampling method, so that 108 respondents were obtained. Data was collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the help of SmartPLS.

Financial literacy also has a positive and significant effect on financial management (Original Sample 0.277; T-Statistics 3,072; P-Values 0.002), and proven to significantly mediate the influence of e-wallet use on financial management (Original Sample 0.152; T-Statistics 2,998; P-values 0.003).
