The findings of ANOVA results revealed regression was significant at p-value (0.000). The correlation matrix between financial performance and technological innovation revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between financial performance and technological innovation at p (0.000) and r (.573<sup>**</sup>). This therefore showed that technological innovation has a positive influence on financial performance. The study concluded that technological innovation is significant in enhancing the financial performance of deposit-taking microfinance institutions.
