Purpose: The financial decisions made by students during the student period have a great impact on their financial situation after graduating from university. Also, the financial position of students in the university can affect their academic performance and affect their ability to complete the university course. This study sought to examine the knowledge, attitude and financial behavior in students' literacy.Methodology: This study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study was Malayer University students in three bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees in the academic year of 2018-19, of which 415 samples were selected by staged classification method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software at a significance level of 0.05 using Spearman correlation tests and logistic regression, UM Man Whitney and Croscalwalis.Findings: The results of the relationship between knowledge with financial attitude and attitude with financial behavior had a positive correlation and these dimensions have a direct effect on the level of students' financial literacy. The influence of gender was also confirmed as a factor of differentiation in the level of literacy and in the dimensions of students' knowledge and financial behavior (P <0.001).Conclusion: Based on the results, there is a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude, as well as attitude and behavior, but there was no correlation between knowledge and financial behavior. These results suggest that financial knowledge alone cannot improve students' financial behavior
