ONWARD!

Last week, our digital lending business Kredit Pintar took part in "Fintech Lending Days: Medan", a week-long roadshow organized by (AFPI) Asosiasi FinTech Pendanaan Bersama Indonesia  involving Micro & SME Exhibition & Talk Show exhibition in North Sumatra.

A highlight of the two-day event was witnessing the remarkable work of Galeri Tenun Trias Tambun, a small business specializing in woven fabrics using the traditional Jacquard method. Notably, they utilized fintech loans for working capital to expand their operations. 

MSMEs contribute 60% towards Indonesia's GDP and employ ~97% of Indonesia's working population. At Kredit Pintar:

	• 🏢 1 in 2 loans are for working capital/education
	• 🧕🏽45% of borrowers are female 
	• 🇮🇩 Borrowers are spread out across Sumatra and east, west, central Java 

It was also highlighted that by the end of 2023, the fintech lending industry has distributed IDR 241 trillion, a 45% increase YoY.

At the event, Entjik S. Djafar, General Chair of (AFPI) Asosiasi FinTech Pendanaan Bersama Indonesia  said, "This is proof of their (MSME) interest in alternative funding for their business through #fintech #lending platforms. It is hoped that this event will be able to become a bridge between micro business actors or entrepreneurs and fintech lending providers to be able to collaborate with each other in joint business development. 

"We also want to continue to educate MSME players to use fintech lending platforms as a legal funding alternative, to avoid (illegal) borrowing."
