NUMBER 61 /POJK.07/2020
CONCERNING
FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION INSTITUTION
I. GENERAL
Resolution of complaints by Financial Service Providers (PUJK) does not always result in an agreement, thereby causing Disputes between Consumers and PUJK. In order to provide Consumer protection, a dispute resolution mechanism outside of PUJK is needed, namely through the court or outside the court. Dispute resolution outside the court can be conducted by the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution (LAPS Sektor Jasa Keuangan). The resolution process at the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution is confidential and prioritizes a win-win solution, thereby being more comfortable for the parties involved and able to maintain Consumer trust in the financial services sector. In addition, dispute resolution through the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution is faster, cheaper, and produces objective, relevant, and fair decisions or agreements. Provisions regarding the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution were previously regulated in Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014 concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions in the Financial Services Sector. The formation of this Financial Services Authority Regulation aims to meet the needs of Consumers in the financial services sector for dispute resolution. However, in its development, Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014 concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions in the Financial Services Sector still requires refinement to realize a more effective and efficient Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution, and to respond to technological developments, financial services products and services that are increasingly complex and cross-sectoral. Currently, there are 6 (six) Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions registered with the Financial Services Authority, where each Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution is specialized in handling disputes in specific industries. In order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution, it is necessary to form a Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution that handles all financial services sector disputes, both conventional and Sharia. The formation of this Institution is expected to produce the same service quality standards for all Consumers and facilitate Consumers in resolving Disputes, including Disputes arising from the utilization of financial products and services involving more than 1 (one) financial services sector. In addition, the formation of the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution is expected to minimize the operational cost burden of the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution by utilizing technological developments, while still
maintaining service quality. In order to realize a Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution that is able to protect and maintain the trust of stakeholders, and ensure compliance with legal provisions, the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution needs an institutional structure and governance that is able to support and develop the functions of the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution. In this regard, the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution must have regulations regarding approval, membership, and general meetings of members, apply good governance principles, and be managed by parties who consistently meet competence requirements. In addition, in providing services, the Financial Services Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution must also meet the principles of accessibility, independence, fairness, efficiency, and effectiveness. In connection with this matter, the formation of this Financial Services Authority Regulation is carried out.
