This study examines the influence of financial technology (fintech) and consumer behavior on consumer purchase preferences in Medan City in the digital era. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey of 100 respondents in Medan who routinely use digital wallet applications, as well as data analysis using Partial Least Squares (PLS) through SmartPLS software. The results showed that fintech had a positive and significant effect on purchase preferences with a path coefficient of 0.374 (p = 0.003, f² = 0.181), while consumer behavior had a stronger impact with a coefficient of 0.455 (p = 0.000, f² = 0.268). The two variables together explain the 57.4 % variability of purchasing decision preferences (R² = 0.574), with strong predictive relevance (Q² = 0.510). The results of this study show that the integration of fintech payment and consumer behavior together contributes significantly to consumer purchase preferences in the Medan City. Practical recommendations from the study include improving digital and financial literacy through integrated education programs for all levels of society, as well as simplifying the e-money application interface to make it more intuitive and accessible.

The fashion industry is a rapidly growing economic sector, but it has a significant impact on the environment. The trend of thrift fashion or buying secondhand clothes has emerged as an alternative form of sustainable consumption that supports the circular economy. This study aims to examine the relationship between sustainability awareness, attitude toward thrift products, perceived value, and consumer purchase intentions in the context of fashion reuse in Indonesia. This study uses a conceptual literature review approach by synthesizing previous research results in the field of sustainable fashion and consumer behavior. The conceptual model is built based on Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and Value–Attitude–Behavior Framework (Homer & Kahle, 1988). The synthesis results show that sustainability awareness does not directly influence purchase intention, but rather through two main mediating pathways: (1) positive attitude toward thrift products as an affective pathway, and (2) perceived value towards the functional, emotional, and social benefits of the product as a cognitive pathway. These two mediators explain how environmental awareness shapes behavioral tendencies without the need to involve external variables such as social norms. Theoretically, this study reinforces our understanding of sustainable consumer behavior. In practical terms, the results provide guidance for thrift fashion MSMEs to emphasize sustainability, quality, and ethical image in their marketing strategies in order to encourage more environmentally friendly consumption behavior.

The Capital Market Masterplan 3 (CMP3), introduced by the Securities Commission Malaysia in 2021, provides a strategic five-year framework to advance Malaysia’s Islamic Capital Market (ICM). It aligns Shariah-compliant finance with global sustainability objectives, digital innovation and financial inclusion. This paper examines CMP3’s six strategic pillars catalyzing competitive growth; empowering investors; shaping the stakeholder economy; embedding shared accountability; prioritizing efficiency outcomes; and embracing technology and assesses their grounding in Maqasid al-Shariah and ESG principles. Drawing on qualitative policy analysis and market statistics, this study shows how CMP3 enhances market resilience, broadens access for MSMEs and mid-tier firms, and positions Malaysia as a global Islamic finance hub. This study concludes with recommendations to strengthen regulatory support, harmonize Shariah governance and accelerate digital transformation to realize CMP3’s vision fully.
