With a population of 973,269, Ponorogo is predominantly Muslim and known for its numerous Islamic boarding schools. This study examines the influence of knowledge and religiosity on interest in saving in Islamic banks among Ponorogo residents.
Objectives
The objective of this research is to determine the effect of knowledge and religiosity on the interest in saving at Islamic banks among the people of Ponorogo.
Method
The study employed a quantitative method with a descriptive approach, using primary data obtained through questionnaires distributed to 400 respondents. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the data.
Results

The high level of knowledge and religiosity among respondents positively affects their interest in saving in Islamic banks.
Implications
These results highlight the importance of enhancing financial literacy and religious awareness to boost the use of Islamic banking services. This study suggests that Islamic banks should focus on educational campaigns to increase public knowledge and leverage religious values to attract more customers.
