JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Financial Services Authority (OJK) explained, there are several factors that make peer to peer lending fintech companies overshadowed by high bad loans.
Ogi Prastomiyono, Chief Executive of the Supervision of Insurance, Guarantee Institutions and Pension Funds, said that the factor that caused fintech lending companies to be overshadowed by bad loans was influenced by the platform’s ability to facilitate the distribution of funds.
“So that it can affect the outstanding funding and the amount of funding that is included in the default period,” he said in an official statement, in a written statement, quoted on Tuesday (9/5/2023).

He added, high bad loans were also influenced by the quality of credit scoring to prospective loan recipients.
On the other hand, the ongoing loan collection process is also an influencing factor.
Finally, Ogi said, the high level of bad credit on online loans was also influenced by the large number of collaborations with ecosystems, for example the provision of credit insurance facilities.
To be able to reduce the number of bad loans in fintech lending, OJK asks companies that have TWP90 above 5 percent to submit an action plan to improve bad funding.
