INTRODUCTION

Economic development in Indonesia currently shows that the informal sector is one of sector that had an important role, it can be shown through people's income in national income (Putra and Sudibia 2018). In line, the informal sector in the form of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has been

successfully developed evenly into every single areas (Utari and Dewi 2014). The various advantages possessed by MSMEs currently have helped the state in overcoming unemployment, absorbing labor, creating new job opportunities, and being able to increase GDP. The role of MSMEs in Indonesian economy is shown in Figure 1 which illustrates that the ability of MSMEs to absorb labor is relatively stable from years which is in line with (Putra and Mustika 2014) states that the role of MSMEs in Indonesia is as one of the important pillars in terms of employment.

Reflecting on the monetary crisis occurred in 1997-1998 which caused large scale companies bankrupt. However, MSMEs tend to survive and continue to grow (Jam’iyatuzzulfiyyah 2021).

The important role of MSMEs currently as important as adapting technology in the field of information and communication to all sectors. The development of this technology had an impact of new innovations, one of the innovation shown in Indonesia’s payment system . The importance of this technology is also in line with the theory

of economic growth by Robert Solow which states that the level of output growth in the long run is the result of a combination of three factors, these factors are labor, capital, and technological change. So, in this case, it illustrates that all forms of business including MSMEs are required to be able to adapt to technological developments, which the technology is the form of payment transactions, financing and financial transactions (Trimulato 2020). The existence of technology is able to change the pattern of work, production, and distribution processes to be efficient. This combination of technology and finance is called Financial technology (Fintech). One of these fintech products is an electronic wallet (E-wallet). E-wallet is starting to be known in Indonesia as a transaction tool in the form of a server based whose existence is able to realize a reduction in cash circulation in the community and encourage people's transaction patterns to become a less cash society (Ferdiana and Darma 2019).

Bank Indonesia as the Central Bank of Indonesia is build the less cash society program in order to make an easier, free

process throughout Indonesia. The role of Fintech for MSMEs is considered capable of increasing sales volume, improving performance and increasing customer loyalty (Taufik, Polindi, and Aguspriyani 2021). The shifting in transaction patterns can be shown in Table 1 which shows an increase in the amount of electronic money circulating in Indonesia from years it also shows there is an increase in using e-wallet as a transaction tool. The increase in the use of e-wallet is also due to the ease of transactions provided by BI policy of issuing the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), besides that financial technology has been

supported by Bank Indonesia and OJK by issuing Bank Indonesia regulation No. 18/40/PBI/2016 and OJK 13/POJK.02/2018. This regulation protects security in the transaction process through fintech so that electronic transactions through fintech products are carried out in Indonesia with guaranteed safety.

Table 1. Amount of Electronic Money Transaction in Indonesia 2016-2020

The role of Bank Indonesia and OJK in issuing policies to facilitate transaction processes is currently able encourage and mobilize people to start adapting in the use of fintech. This shows that the combination of technological developments with the government role can shift the transaction pattern of the community to a less cash society. In addition to the role of the government, there are also internal factors that affect the willingness of the community, in this case the MSME owners to use ewallet as a transaction tool. Research conducted by Angelia and Gultom (2020) states that the type of sub-sector

and scale of business determine how the influence of the use of technology on economic performance, in line with this, this study was only carried out on a medium-scale business by giving consideration that technology readiness in medium-scale of business is easier to reach. on medium-scale MSMEs which is stated in the research that adaptation to technology for small and micro-scale enterprises has a negative effect (Angelia and Gultom 2020).

The use of technology is a society’s choice, according to (Ruli, Hilmawati, and Kusumaningtias 2021) and (Marpaung 2021) stating that the level of education or knowledge possessed is a motivating factor for someone to use fintech. In addition, research conducted by (Ihsan and Siregar 2019) states that in using and conducting transactions with e-wallet there is an e-service quality factor that has a significant influence on trusting the technology, it can encourage someone to make transactions with e-wallet. Based on the factors that have been mentioned, in this study the independent variables are

business location, education level and type of business with the decision to use e-wallet as an instrument variable where the dependent variable in this study is MSME turnover which is influenced after using e-wallet as an instrument. transaction tools in running their business. based on all the factors and the economic impact caused, this research is entitled Influence Of Financial Technology (E-Wallet) On Msmes’ Turnover In Denpasar.

Through the results of the regression in table 2, the results of the F-test are obtained as indicated by Prob > chi2 = 0.0000. Where the p value <0.05 means that with a significance level of 5 percent this model is appropriate and

significant, which means there is at least one of the independent variables are simultaneously affect the turnover of medium category MSMEs in Indonesia. Denpasar City.

The value of R-squared = 0.7257 means that the diversity of the independent variable data is able to explain the diversity of the dependent variable data by 72.57 percent while the remaining 27.43 percent is explained by variables outside the model.

The 2SLS estimation results shows each difference in the type of business is able to provide a difference in turnover of 3.8 percent for MSMEs in Denpasar City with a significance level of 0.006 which means it is significant at the 5 percent level. This result is in line with research conducted by Sanistasya, Raharjo, and Iqbal 2019 which states that different types of businesses can affect the number of different turnovers in each category of MSMEs.

The relationship between education level on MSME turnover is shown by the 2SLS estimation results in Table 2 shows 28 percent which means if the respondent states that education level is an important factor to be able to use ewallet as a transaction tool, then the turnover increases by 28 percent with a

level of significance 0.001 which means significant at the level of 5 percent. Research conducted by Utari and Dewi 2014 states that the level of education has a positive and significant effect on the income of MSMEs.

The results of the 2SLS estimation are in line with research conducted by Damariyah (2012) which states that the business location has a positive and insignificant effect on turnover, so this means that the business location does not affect the turnover obtained by MSMEs.

CONCLUSION

F-test result showed the independent variables which is type of business, education level, business location, and the decision to use e-wallet affect the turnover of MSMEs in Denpasar City.

However, the T-test result showed the independent variables that influence the turnover of MSMEs in Denpasar City are the type of business, education level, and the decision to use e-wallet where these variables are significant at 5 percent. The type of business affects the decision of business owners in using ewallet as a transaction tool, the tendency to use e-wallet when a transaction is carried out by someone only on several occasions. The use of e-wallet as a transaction tool is dominant for consumers in the culinary and fashion business fields. The education level variable provides an overview of the capabilities of human resources in Denpasar City. The ability of MSME owners to adapt to technology is certainly as an obstacle in the application of financial technology to their business. Thus, the level of education is considered important in the adaptation process which MSMEs absorb technological developments.

However, currently there are still many people who are refused to use ewallet due to lack of understanding in

using the cash less system and also because of transactions by using ewallet are subject to administrative fees and the risk of cyber crime. So, in order to optimizing the usage of e-wallet in Indonesia, we need accommodative regulations      from      Indonesian

government through BI and OJK in supporting the optimization of fintech which can strengthen its position as one of digital financial ecosystem foundations. This fintech optimization should be supported by the modernization of the legal framework to provide a legal landscape that can improve the supervision of the monetary and financial system in Indonesia.
