Abstract

In the banking industry, customer trust is very important, especially in Islamic banking, which is based on justice and adherence to Islamic values. Local wisdom builds trust through the strengthening of cultural identity and the application of social values that align with Sharia principles. The objective of this research is to study how local wisdom contributes to the increase in customer trust towards Islamic banking. The research method uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies and analysis of previous research. The research results offer an integrative approach that optimizes local values in marketing strategies and corporate social responsibility (CSR) to enhance the image and reputation of Islamic banking.
