JAKARTA - EasyCash, one of the online lending platforms in Indonesia, has confirmed their commitment to preventing the use of loan funds for illegal activities, including online gambling.
In a talk show at the Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo (IFSE) 2024, Head of Corporate Affairs of Easycash, Wildan Kesuma said that the company has made prevention efforts both internally and externally (customers).
From the internal side, Wildan admitted that Easycash has issued a circular letter emphasizing to all employees not to be involved in online gambling activities.
Meanwhile, from the external side of the company or towards users, Easycash routinely checks customer data periodically according to the database provided by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
"For the database, there is information provided by PPATK. And the database at PPATK, we check periodically if there are similarities we will block and report to PPATK, so that is one of the prevention efforts made," explained Wildan.
Thus, if there are similarities or indications of suspicious use of funds including for online gambling activities, EasyCash will block the user's access and report it to PPATK.
Furthermore, in the loan application process, Wildan said that Easycash users will be asked to fill in detailed information, including personal data such as BPJS and NPWP, source of income, and purpose of use of funds.
With these steps, EasyCash hopes to minimize the risk of misuse of loan funds, especially for illegal activities such as online gambling.
At the same time, it supports the government's efforts to maintain a healthy and responsible online loan ecosystem.
