The offer of short-term cash loans is the most sought after by users, given the affordable interest and verification process that is easy, fast, and safe.

Kredivo also intends to spread its wings into the realm of health, education, and Islamic loans.

“We also plan to develop our services more broadly to cover education, health, and Islamic loans, of course by continuing to prioritize good user experience and user data security,” he said.

From the industry side, the potential development of fintech lending in Indonesia this year is also estimated to be still very large. The Indonesian Joint Funding Fintech Association (AFPI) estimates that lending by fintech lending will grow 50% on an annual basis (YoY) in 2020.
