This study explores the financial literacy and access to financial services of microentrepreneurs in the City of San Fernando, La Union. A cross-sectional survey and correlational research design were utilized among 356 microentrepreneurs within the central business district. Findings revealed that respondents generally demonstrated a high level of financial literacy regarding financial knowledge, attitude, and behavior. However, results show limited access to different key areas. Access to financial products and services does not depend on knowledge alone. In response, the study recommends collaboration among microentrepreneurs with financial institutions and local government units to strengthen support and policies that empower them to make sound financial decisions and use proactive strategic approaches. Furthermore, future researchers should explore other methods to understand what influences microentrepreneurs in accessing financial services.xii, 122 p.: ill.
