Explorative research method, Triangulation, qualitative approach. The results showed that traders and fishermen are still a few who know the type of saving instruments. A small portion of income has been deposited in savings, gold, land and houses. Although already bought land, the house by way of credit, deposits had never been. Banking is considered a lot of time-consuming business work. Respondents do not understand the investment portfolio. The respondents' income is mostly used for daily needs, adding capital goods and working capital. Merchants buy merchandise. Fishermen buy fishing gear, boat machine. Most Traders-Fishermen use the instrument 'arisan' only, easier transactions than banking.
