Therefore, digital financial literacy became more critical nowadays and is considered prerequisites and preliminary steps for people's inclusion in the financial system. The determinants of digital financial literacy focus on the socio-economic demographic factors and used ordinary least square, multiple regression model. This model determines how various independent variables, namely age, gender, income, religion, social groups, family size, marital status, educational level, occupation, etc., significantly influence the respondents' digital financial literacy.
