This research aims to examine the correlation between dividend payment and the market value of equity of banking firms in the Indonesia Stock Exchange-listed company. The sample includes firms focused on the banking sector period between 2011 to 2020. This study employs the residual income approach based on Ohlson's (1995) valuation model. The models are tested using panel regression analysis. Moreover, additional tests are used to ensure the main results. The finding shows that dividend payment has an insignificant effect on the market value of equity. The analysis states that the use of Ohlson's (1995) model and the firm's book value are statistically significant factors in determining the market value of equity. The study suggests that the dividend irrelevance hypothesis is valid in the case of banking firms on IDX. This paper encourages empirical evidence about the relationship between dividend payment and market value on Indonesia Stock Exchange, more importantly, in the banking firms.Keywords: Dividend Policy, Market Value, Residual IncomeABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui korelasi antara pembayaran dividen dan nilai pasar saham pada perusahaan perbankan di Bursa Efek Indonesia.
