THE EVALUATION OF THE INDONESIAN FINTECH LAW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF REGULATORY TECHNOLOGY PARADIGMS TO MITIGATE ILLEGAL FINTECH

Abstract

Illegal fintech is one of the main issues not fully addressed in the digital finance sector in Indonesia despite various legal regulations. This condition shows that the fintech legal framework in Indonesia still needs to be entirely relevant to the concept of Regulatory Technology (regtech). This study aims to analyze the position of the fintech legal framework in Indonesia in overcoming illegal fintech with a regtech approach chosen as an analytical instrument—a basic concept that combines law and digital financial technology to create an orderly platform and comply with all applicable laws. This article uses normative-legal research methods and a conceptual approach, indicating that the legal framework governing fintech in Indonesia fragments, with rules spreading across the civil, administrative, and criminal sectors. This legal framework still needs to be reinforced as a legal tool to overcome the problem. Based on the regtech approach, increased transparency and accountability in fintech implementation are essential as legal support for dynamic supervision and law enforcement and to allow for wider access to cooperation between stakeholdersin handling illegal fintech. Such measures will help create a more effective legal environment and align with the regtech paradigm in addressing illegal fintech practices in Indonesia.
