This account was compiled from data submitted by the Ministry of Communications and Digital (Komdigi). OJK then developed and adjusted the accounts with population data.
“From the data submitted by Komdigi, Komdigi has developed the report by asking banks to close accounts that match the population identity number and carry out enhanced due diligence,” said Dian.
This effort was carried out by OJK as protection for consumers. Apart from that, eradicating judol is necessary because it has a broad impact on the economy and financial sector.
