Authors

Abstract
Digital financial literacy (DFL) has become increasingly essential as financial systems migrate toward digital platforms and as young people adopt mobile and online financial tools at unprecedented rates. Students—often early adopters of emerging technologies—frequently engage with online banking, mobile payments, algorithmic credit systems, cryptocurrency platforms, and social-media-mediated investment content. However, existing evidence indicates that many lacks the knowledge, digital safety skills, and behavioural competencies required to use these tools responsibly. Drawing on international frameworks and empirical studies, this review synthesizes research on the conceptualization, measurement, determinants, behavioural implications, and educational interventions related to DFL. The discussion also identifies methodological limitations, theoretical gaps, and practical considerations for future research and policy design. The review concludes that comprehensive, context-adaptive approaches are necessary to ensure that students develop the competencies needed to navigate an increasingly digital and high-risk financial environment.
