POT explains how company’s preference uses fund in doing their operational activity. The expected factors influencingIslamic Credit and Financing Union (KSPPS)’s financial performance are Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non Performing Finance (NPF), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Operating Expenses-Operating Income (OEOI), and capital structure. The analysis methodology of this study is multiple panel regression employing software Eviews 9. The result of regression test shows that OEOI affects partially towards Return on Asset (ROA).
