From 30 October 2021, digital banks in Indonesia will be regulated under two new regulations issued by the OJK, Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority. The two regulations, OJK Regulation No. 12/POJK.03/2021 on Commercial Banks (“Regulation 12”) and OJK Regulation No. 13/POJK.03/2021 on Administration of Commercial Bank Products (“Regulation 13”), revoke several regulations, including Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 11/1/PBI/2009, as amended by Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 13/27/PBI/2011 and OJK Regulation No. 6/POJK.03/2016, as amended by OJK Regulation No. 17/POJK.03/2018.
