Q & A

What is the definition of a bank according to Indonesian law?

A bank is defined as a business entity that collects funds from the public in the form of deposits and distributes the funds back to the public in the form of credit or other forms, with the aim of improving the welfare of society.

What are the 5C principles used by banks to evaluate credit applications?

The 5C principles are: 1) Character – assessing the borrower's willingness to repay debt, 2) Capacity – evaluating the borrower's ability to manage the credit, 3) Capital – assessing the borrower's financial resources, 4) Collateral – evaluating assets that can be used as security for the loan, and 5) Conditions – considering economic conditions that might affect the ability to repay.

What does 'Character' refer to in the 5C principles?

'Capacity' refers to the borrower's ability, skills, and knowledge to use the credit effectively, such as how they plan to manage and use the loan for business or other purposes.

What is the importance of 'Collateral' in the credit evaluation process?

Collateral acts as a guarantee for the loan. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the bank can seize the collateral (such as land or vehicle certificates) to recover the loan amount.

How do economic conditions impact the approval of credit?

Economic conditions, such as a recession or inflation, can influence the bank's decision on whether to ease or tighten credit. In a recession, banks may loosen credit to stimulate economic activity, while in inflationary conditions, they may tighten credit to control money supply and reduce excessive consumption.
