Standard Chartered has announced the launch of digital consumer loans in the Indonesian market in partnership with fintech platform Kredit Pintar.
Under the partnership, Standard Chartered will use Kredit Pintar’s platform to offer loans up to $70m (IDR1tn).
The announcement comes after Standard Chartered entered into a global partnership with Atome Financial in October last year.
The collaboration is aimed at offering $500m in loans over 10 years via Atome Financial in several Asian markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Notably, Kredit Pintar, which is part of Atome Financials group companies in Indonesia, is registered and governed by the country’s financial regulator OJK.
Since it began operations in 2017, Kredit Pintar has disbursed over $1.5bn in loans.
