The research method used is a quantitative approach. The independent variables consist of ease of access and SLA, while the dependent variable is the growth of multipurpose financing. The results show that ease of access and SLA have a positive effect on the growth of multipurpose financing. The easier access to services and the faster the financing process provided by PT. Bank Sumut Sharia Business Unit, the growth of multipurpose financing will show an upward trend. This study implies that PT.
