<![CDATA[Abstract: The development of digital technology has changed payment systems, including in tourism businesses. Digital payment can speed up transactions and ease financial management, thereby potentially improving financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of digital payment on the financial performance of tourism businesses in Padang City. A quantitative approach was used, with data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The sample consisted of 85 respondents from a population of 559 tourism business actors, determined using the Slovin formula and selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression in SPSS 27, after validity, reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.822), and classical assumption tests were satisfied. The results show that digital payment has a positive and significant effect on financial performance (regression coefficient = 0.418; t-value = 6.582 > t-table = 1.989; significance = 0.000 < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.343 indicates that digital payment explains 34.3% of the variation in financial performance, while the remaining 65.7% is influenced by other factors outside this study. These findings confirm the role of digital payment in supporting the financial performance of tourism business actors.
