Fintech or Financial Technology has been growing rapidly in recent years in Indonesia. Fintech has made it easy for people to access financial services through digital technology, such as digital banking, investment, peer-to-peer lending, and so on.
However, along with this rapid development, the fintech industry also requires adequate regulation and supervision. Therefore, there are several associations that act as a forum for fintech actors in Indonesia to develop this industry in a sustainable manner and ensure the sustainability of a healthy and safe fintech industry for the community.
The following are some of the associations that house fintech in Indonesia:
