SUMMARY
This article reports the findings of Islamic Financial Literacy for Sharia bankers in Bandar Lampung specifically in terms of Islamic financial products and what factors influencing it. The skill is needed to assist transactions, with a clear understanding and appreciation of the unique characteristics and features of Islamic Finance and its real economic value. As mentioned by the Financial Authority Service, one of the challenges that Sharia banking encounters are the inadequacy of capable and highly qualified human resources to support the development of sharia financial products and services. However, up to now there is a lack of studies about Islamic financial literacy in Indonesia, particularly for people who works on Islamic financial sectors. The objectives of this study are (i) to indicate the level of Islamic financial literacy among human resources of Sharia banks in Bandar Lampung, and (ii) to identify significant factors that influence Islamic financial literacy among the bankers. In terms of Islamic Financial Literacy rate, the result of the study is quite distinct from the existing research finding in that it shows that female bankers have higher Islamic Financial Literacy rate than their male counterpart. In addition, based on length of work and age cohort, the median groups also have higher Islamic financial literacy rate. While in terms of type of institution, bankers of Sharia banks exhibit advanced Islamic financial knowledge than Rural sharia banks’ staffs. Using Factor Analysis, the study finding revealed the five factors determining Sharia banker’s Islamic financial literacy.========================================================================================================
