Abstract: Religious beliefs are accepted to be one of the main motivations for financial actions. The economic theory fails to provide an adequate foundation to study the link between religiosity and economic behaviour. A number of empirical studies discusses the role of religion on the financial behaviour of economic agents yet more research needs to be conducted. This study provides a brief review on how religiosity might affect financial behaviour by the inclusion of recent studies. In addition to the empirical research that is based on European countries, we discuss the differences in different geographies and finance schemes. We also debate the potential factors that affect differing behavioural aspects with respect to religiosity.
