Moreover, they include local people (Indonesian) and foreigners (Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.) which study in different concentrations – Banking and Finance, International Business and Marketing. In this research, researcher uses descriptive studies by using quantitative approach because this research uses numbers to prove or disprove a notion or hypothesis. Based on the research, researcher found that four factors – costs, acceptance, security and speed influenced to student cash payment significantly and ease of use have no significant influence to student cash payment. It may indicate that student considered that cash is not easiest method to pay so they tend to use other instruments like credit card, debit card or mobile payment. The problem for State Bank is how to develop other payments in order for student feel easier to use or improve ease of use of cash payment.
