Abstract
Village-owned Enterprise (BUM Desa) is a social enterprise that functions as a pillar of the village economy in Indonesia. This study identifies the business models of BUM Desa in fostering financial literacy and the digital economy in Yogyakarta. The results revealed that there are four business models of BUM Desa: digital payment systems, digital markets, integrated waste management with savings, and rural microfinance. However, results show that several factors influence the success of the role such as business legality, innovative leadership, business model agility, village government support, and village meetings. Furthermore, capital, human resource quality, and information systems are the prerequisites for the fulfillment new business model in the internal BUM Desa. On the other hand, government involvement is also needed to socially strengthen village communities through programs to increase the financial literacy index and strengthen community entrepreneurship.
