The Financial Services Authority (OJK) issued Regulation No. 3 of 2026 to modernize the licensing and operational framework for securities companies acting as underwriters and trading intermediaries. The regulation introduces a new classification system (PEKU 1, 2, and 3) based on capital adequacy, while strengthening institutional requirements for governance, ownership, and risk management. It simultaneously repeals several previous regulations to align with current capital market developments and digital business processes.
Regulation of the Financial Services Authority Number 3 of 2026 concerning the Conduct of Securities Company Business Activities as Underwriters of Securities Issues and Securities Trading Intermediaries

These include provisions on capital, mandatory functions, main activities and other activities that can be conducted, as well as requirements, obligations, and prohibitions for members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners. The term PEKU (Securities Company for Business Activities) refers to the classification of Securities Companies based on business activities adjusted to the company's capital.
Furthermore, this regulation also covers securities company licensing and approval of ownership and control of Securities Companies (single presence policy), reporting obligations and follow-up obligations, revocation of business licenses and cancellation of approvals for other activities, dissolution of Securities Companies, provision of education and training funds for human resource competency enhancement, mechanisms for PEKU grouping for Securities Companies that already have business licenses, compliance requirements for existing Securities Companies based on PEKU, and transitional provisions.
