LPS: Many BPRs Closed Because Of Fraud

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) Purbaya Yudhi Sadive said the main cause of the people's economic bank (BPR) was closed due to fraud (fraud). "Therefore, the main cause of the BPR falling is fraud, not from the impact of economic worsening," said Purbaya in a press conference, in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, July 31. Therefore, in the future LPS will provide information technology related programs to strengthen the management or governance of the BPR in order to avoid fraud. "Therefore, in the future, we are making programs related to IT (information technology) so that we can train BPR management to be healthier in the future," he said. Since early 2024 until now, there are 14 BPRs whose permits have been revoked by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), namely BPR Wijaya Kusuma, BPRS Mojo Artho Mojokerto City (Perseroda), BPR Business Madani Karya Mulia, and BPR Pasar Bhakti Sidoarjo.

Kemudian, ada BPR Purworejo, BPR EDC Cash, BPR Aceh Utara, PT BPR Sembilan Mutiara, PT BPR Bali Artha Anugrah, BPRS Saka Dana Mulia, BPR Dananta, BPR Bank Jepara Artha, BPR Lubuk Raya Mandiri, serta BPR Sumber Artha Waru Agung.
