Jakarta, VIVA – The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is preparing regulations related to Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) for Financing Companies (PP BNPL).

In this context, OJK will establish limits on the minimum age and income levels of Paylater users.

Acting Head of the Department of Financial Literacy, Inclusion, and Communication, M. Ismail Riyadi, stated that these regulations aim to protect consumers and the public while minimizing potential legal and reputational risks for operators of Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services (LPBBTI).

"Therefore, it is deemed necessary to strengthen the regulations concerning LPBBTI," he said on Tuesday (Dec 31).

Borrowers under LPBBTI must also have a minimum income of IDR 3 million per month.

"The obligation to meet the requirements/criteria for lenders and borrowers will become effective for new acquisitions or renewals no later than January 1, 2027," Riyadi explained.
