Throughout 2025, Indonesia’s financial technology (fintech) landscape experiencedrobust expansion, driven by increasing digital adoption, deeper integration with mainstream financial services, and resilient consumer demand for alternative financing solutions.

According to the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan/OJK), the fintech peer-to-peer (P2P) lending sector continued its growth trajectory with outstanding loan financing exceeding Rp80 trillion by early 2025, marking a significant annual increase and underscoring the rising role of digital credit in the Indonesian economy.

In addition to P2P lending, financing for productive sectors and UMKM(micro, small, and medium enterprises) contributed substantially to the industry, with total productive funding reaching Rp28.63 trillion by April 2025. This highlights the expanding role of fintech platforms in supporting business financing beyond consumer loans.

A noteworthy trend in 2025 was the rise of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, where credit penetration experienced double-digit growth compared to previous years. BNPL financing showed strong momentum as more consumers embraced flexible payment options for online and offline purchases.

Despite rapid growth, industry risk levels — measured by Non-Performing Financingand loan default metrics — remained relatively stable. The overall risk profile of thefintech lending sector continued to reflect prudent underwriting standards, althoughmodest increases in risk indicators signal the importance of enhanced risk management practices.

A distinctive feature of Indonesia’s fintech funding ecosystem in 2025 was the significant role of banks as funding partners. Approximately 64%of fintechlending capital came from traditional banking institutions, reflecting deeper collaboration between conventional financial services and emerging fintech platforms.

Beyond financing volumes, industry players and regulators intensified efforts to strengthen digital financial literacy, consumer protection, and secure digital infrastructure. OJK’s educational initiatives throughout 2025 reached millions of Indonesians, reinforcing public understanding of fintech products and promoting responsible usage.

Looking ahead into 2026, Indonesia’s fintech sector is positioned for continued innovation, collaboration, and market penetration, especially in digital payments, embedded finance, and integrated financial services — maintaining its role as a cornerstone of the nation’s digital economy
