Along with the times, many business people are eyeing millennials because of their consumptive lifestyle. It is not surprising that millenials have now dominated consumer databases. The facts have not skipped the attention of the sharia banking sector in Indonesia. This study aims to construct the opportunity for Bank Syariah Indonesia to grasp millennials as a market share.
