Indonesia's digital economy continues to experience positive growth. The growth of the digital economy causes the volume of digital banking transactions to continue to increase. This shows the potential in utilizing the fintech market to the fullest. However, this market has not been utilized properly because there are still unbankable people who have not been accessed by banking services. The presence of fintech is expected to be a solution to target the unbanked population. Based on the existing potential, fintech has the opportunity to be developed to increase the financial inclusion of Islamic banking in accordance with the 2020-2025 Islamic Banking Roadmap in Indonesia. With the largest Muslim population in Indonesia and through the role of Generation Z, which is a generation that grew up in the digital era, this can be a potential in increasing the role of fintech as an effort towards inclusiveness for the unbankable community. With the increase in community inclusiveness, it can encourage the acceleration of the development of Islamic banking. This study aims to optimize the role of fintech development in Islamic banking in achieving the objectives of the 2020-2025 Islamic Banking Roadmap in Indonesia. The method used in this research is quantitative research with data collection techniques through literature reviews and questionnaires. The results show that the majority of Generation Z have access to good fintech financial services. Thus, generation Z has a role in increasing the financial inclusion of Islamic banking through the use of technology services, namely fintech, so that in the end, increasingly inclusive banking finance can support the achievement of the vision of the sharia banking roadmap that has been launched by the OJK.

Financial inclusion has become an important policy for many countries, including the developed and developing nations. Financial inclusion realisation is promoted by the easy and convenient access to financial services, quality of financial services, and efficient and effective utilisation by all segment of society, delivered with fairness and zero discrimination. The achievement of financial inclusion is supported by essential pillars that are interconnected with each other and form a composite economy ecosystem to ensure stability and sustainable development. One of these critical pillars is micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs); the development of MSMEs pillar is deemed crucial due to its capability in absorbing more considerable workforce compared to larger enterprises and contributes significantly to the gross domestic product (GDP). Therefore, the growth of MSMEs pillar will surely reduce poverty, lessen the unemployment, and lower the income disparity.

The primary objective of this chapter is to explore and investigate the critical issues and challenges of MSMEs financial inclusion achievement through the role of Islamic banking institutions, particularly in Indonesia. The chapter suggests several problems that hamper the role of the Indonesian Islamic banking institution in serving the needs of MSMEs and numerous issues and challenges in achieving MSMEs financial inclusion.

Technology and financial inclusion are the popular coinage in banking parleys in the country. While technological upgradation and mobile banking are catching up so fast, financial inclusion is tardy. Financial inclusion is a major agenda for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Without financial inclusion, banks cannot reach the un-banked. It is also a major step towards increasing savings and achieving balanced growth. The reach the country is having with technological progress mobile banking has the potential to emerge as a game changer in terms of costs, convenience, and speed of reach. Business models of banks, telecom operators and other stakeholders need to converge. However, the banking industry’s penetration to un-banked areas is still found sluggish. The role of the Indian banker is challenging. At one end of this spectrum lies the demand to achieve financial inclusion as nearly 50 per cent of the population is yet to be covered under the formal system of banking and at the other end lies the task to fulfil the needs of the existing customers. The first priority for banks is to adopt core banking solution (CBS), including all regional rural banks (RRBs). Next, a multi-channel approach using handheld devices, mobiles, cards, micro-ATMs, branches and kiosks can be used. However, it should be ensured that the transactions put through such front-end devices should be seamlessly integrated with the banks’ CBS. In rural areas, where accessibility is a problem, banks are using the microfinance network and business correspondents and facilitators to bring more people under the ambit of banking services. Capitalising on the huge untapped potential in smaller towns and cities and rendering financial services to this segment of people poses a big challenge. Few banks have explored technology solutions to increase the scale of their microfinance portfolios, with the use of smart cards and core banking solutions.

Agriculture is the largest employer of India which constitutes 50% of its workforce and also a contributor to 17-18% in its GDP. Still, it is one of the most disorganized and disjointed sector.Somewhere this sector has not been given due attention and itcan be proven with the fact that the GDP contribution of this sector has fallen from 43% to 18% (1970- 2018).Though the Indian Government is digitally driving to provide financial inclusion to more than 145 million households that are not having access to banking services but still the farmers aremajorlyusing traditional credit for their basic and main two factors; Production & Consumption (Distribution). The financial segment has an important role to make agriculture aprime contributorto the economic growth of the country and also in reducing poverty. A fast-evolving technological landscape is bringing up new potential to focus&provide credit, risk-sharing, and to explore technology to enhance agricultural productivity. Our paper firstly examines agricultural finance in the Indian context and then discusses how financial technology (Fin-Tech) can drive new products in credit and risk markets in India. We evaluate the role of mobile banking, financial literacy, digital financial services, digital financial technology, and block-chain technology. The paper is concluded with a discussion of policy takeaways for Fin-Tech in agriculture to promote agricultural growth, enhance financial inclusion, and improve regional economic integration through agriculture.

The number of cross-sectoral issues in the financial services sector including Islamic banking, which includes moral hazard measures, lack of optimal protection of financial services, and the disruption of financial system stability increasingly encourage the need for the establishment of a supervisory institution in the integrated financial services sector. The source of moral damage in the management of the economy encourages the establishment of newsupervision institutions, more accountable and has a tighter function in overseeing the financial system so that it can better guarantee the achievement of financial system stability. Based on that, Financial Services Authority was formed. Various regulations that have been and will be made by the Financial Services Authority related to Islamic banking are expected to be able to provide protection for the Islamic banking industry as well as spur the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia. More comprehensive and effective supervision of sharia banking is needed along with the increase in market players, product / service variants, and increasingly innovative and complex technological advancements. During this time the existence of Financial Services Authority for Islamic banking has not felt its existence. Financial Services Authority Law is still silent on sharia-based financial services.

The chapter aims to investigate the role of mobile financial service design and development in dealing with financial exclusion. It was found that mobile financial services are promoting financial inclusion in various markets. However, few studies have been undertaken on the benefits of mobile financial services in dealing with the high rates of financial exclusion.

The chapter concluded that there is need for scholars in the fields of finance and economics to conduct research in the areas of mobile financial services and their role in society.
