Research Aims: The purpose of the research is to map and analyze trends in consumer financial behavior in the digital era through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach based on quantitative analysis. The main focus is directed at three aspects: the influence of digital financial literacy, psychological and social factors, and the impact of technological transformation on individual and organizational financial behavior.

Metode: the PRISMA method and analyzed through a thematic synthesis approach. Research Findings: Research results show that digital financial literacy has a significant influence on the formation of healthy and inclusive financial behavior. In addition, psychosocial factors such as personality, risk sensitivity, and social interaction also affect the financial decision-making process in the digital ecosystem. Originality: Digital transformation has been proven to change transaction patterns, enhance psychological empowerment, and strengthen financial effectiveness both at the individual and institutional levels. This research provides an important contribution to the development of an integrative and data-based digital financial behavior model, as well as serving as a theoretical and practical foundation for educational interventions and digital financial literacy policies
