Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have a big role in the economy, especially in developing countries. However, in its role, Indonesia still has a level of access to finance below several ASEAN countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Thus it can be said that the literacy of SMEs in Indonesia is low. This study considers one of the factors that influence financial literacy, namely motivation. The method we use for this research is direct interviews and using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. We have successfully interviewed one hundred and ninety-one UKM located in Malang. The results showed that the motivation of small business actors had a significant effect on financial literacy. Based on this, the government together with financial institutions need to formulate the right program. Apart from the education provided by educators, the program can also take the form of socialization and consultation services, either directly or indirectly. Development of supporting infrastructure and public access to financial institutions, products or services according to their needs and capacities also need attention for immediate optimization.
