The population used is a banking company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2020. The method was used with the Purposive Sampling Method and obtained by 20 companies. The data used is a data panel consisting of cross-section and time series data assisted by the E-views 9 statistics program. The panel's data region analysis results showed that the Fix Effect Model was the right model for estimating the regression equations tested.
