P2P lending connects indivdual, institutional investors as well as the company's subsidiary itself with other individuals or small businesses that need money. Interest rates are higher than those charged by banks but are typically lower than black market loan sharks' prices. The Indonesian market for these loans hit $3.1 billion in June, 2019 versus $19.6 million in 2016 according to the country's Financial Services authority, (OJK).
The Indonesian Market for these non bank loans is vast. There are 63 million MSMEs, of which only 26% have access to financing according to government data. In 2016, the OJK estimated that these businsses' yearly unmet financing needs totaled over $68 billion (988 trillion Rupiah). Similarly, only 29% of Indonesian's 186 million lower to middle income, working age individuals have access to credit.
The company has arranged non equity sources of capital to rapidly expand this business. The Company intends to act as a principal using its own platform to lend these micro loans to small business as well as individuals who have verified employment. In addition, the company will earn an agency fee for allowing individuals and small businesses to use its platform. The company believes that this is the "Killer App" that will propel its business to profitability in the near term.
"Over the past months the company has diligently worked to achieve this license that we applied for earlier this year. Though it has taken longer than we anticipated, we are excited that we have been informed we passed all the qualifications to reach certification." stated Mr. Edwin Ng, CEO of KinerjaPay Corp (KPAY). The Company's representatives and teams led by Mr. Anoki Kiyoshi, had taken the needed aptitude tests, fit and proper test as well as a live demo of the application in order to be in full compliance with regulations.
