The rapid development of technology including its use in financial sector has made the process of financial inclusion and literacy easier, especially for a country where its community does not have a high financial understanding. Unfortunately, the practice of Financial Technology (Fintech) which should have put forward Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection is considered unfavorable for the community. Hence, this study intends to investigate several issues regarding financial technology (fintech) which include the implementation of standard agreement in credit transactions through fintech, the barriers that often occur in credit transactions through fintech, and the settlement of consumer protection disputes related to credit transactions through fintech. This study applied a normative juridical method with a mixed approach, namely statute approach and conceptual approach. The results revealed that standard agreements made unilaterally by creditors often contain standard clauses leading to customers� losses. In one hand, a weak regulation causes fintech users to get less legal umbrella. On the other hand, the creditors are legally innocent because they get the customers� agreement in the standard agreement. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a need to strengthen regulations relating to consumer service and protection against fintech transactions which include technology, operational security, human resources, and risk management.�Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu menjawab beberapa persoalan mengenai bagaimanakah pelaksanaan perjanjian baku dalam transaksi kredit melaui fintech, hambatan apa yang kerap terjadi dalam transaksi kredit melalu fintech dan bagaimanakah penyelesaian sengketa perlindungan konsumen terkait transaksi kredit melalui fintech. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah� yuridis normatif dan pendekatan campuran antara� statute approach dan conceptual approach dianggap selaras dengan tujuan dari kajian ini yaitu menjawab beberapa persoalan mengenai bagaimanakah pelaksanaan perjanjian baku dalam transaksi kredit melaui fintech, hambatan apa yang kerap terjadi dalam transaksi kredit melalu fintech dan bagaimanakah penyelesaian sengketa perlindungan konsumen terkait transaksi kredit melalui fintech. Hasil dari penelitian ini Teknologi �semakin berkembang dari tahun ke tahun, termasuk� pemanfaatanya di bidang finansial. Hal ini membuat proses inklusi dan literasi finansial menjadi lebih mudah, terutama untuk suatu negara yang belum tinggi pemahaman masyarakatnya terhadap finansial. Sayangnya Financial Technology (fintech) yang semestinya mengedepankan Undang-Undang No.8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen belakangan ini justru dianggap sebaliknya. Perjanjian baku yang dibuat secara sepihak oleh kreditur kerap mengandung klausula-klausula baku yang mengarah pada kerugian yang menanti nasabah, terlebih dengan iming-iming instan yang disajikan penyedia jasa kredit melalui fintech dengan� mengedepankan slogan cepat dan mudah. Regulasi yang belum matang menyebabkan pengguna fintech kurang mendapat payung hukum, disisi lain pihak kreditur secara hukum tidak bersalah karena mendapat persetujuan nasabah dari perjanjian baku. Simpulan penelitian perlu adanya penguatan regulasi yang berkaitan dengan pelayanan dan perlindungan konsumen terhadap transaksi fintech mencakup pada teknologi, keamanan operasional, sumber daya manusia, serta pengelolaan dan� manajemen resiko.

Agriculture is the largest employer of India which constitutes 50% of its workforce and also a contributor to 17-18% in its GDP. Still, it is one of the most disorganized and disjointed sector.Somewhere this sector has not been given due attention and itcan be proven with the fact that the GDP contribution of this sector has fallen from 43% to 18% (1970- 2018).Though the Indian Government is digitally driving to provide financial inclusion to more than 145 million households that are not having access to banking services but still the farmers aremajorlyusing traditional credit for their basic and main two factors; Production & Consumption (Distribution). The financial segment has an important role to make agriculture aprime contributorto the economic growth of the country and also in reducing poverty. A fast-evolving technological landscape is bringing up new potential to focus&provide credit, risk-sharing, and to explore technology to enhance agricultural productivity. Our paper firstly examines agricultural finance in the Indian context and then discusses how financial technology (Fin-Tech) can drive new products in credit and risk markets in India. We evaluate the role of mobile banking, financial literacy, digital financial services, digital financial technology, and block-chain technology. The paper is concluded with a discussion of policy takeaways for Fin-Tech in agriculture to promote agricultural growth, enhance financial inclusion, and improve regional economic integration through agriculture.

Cyber incidents continue to move up in the rating of possible threats and occupy the second position in the ranking of risks in the activities of companies (40 %). Five years ago, they were on the fifteenth line. Like a natural disaster or pandemic, a cyber attack can have a negative impact on hundreds of companies, and the number of such incidents is growing. So-called "cyber incidents",when hackers interfere with the activities of a large number of companies, using the dependencies of their shared Internet infrastructure, occur more often. This reflects the fact that today's world of risk management is more volatile than ever. At the same time, with the upcoming entry into force of the General data protection regulation (GDPR), which has been in effect throughout Europe since may 2018, the prospects of imposing more and larger fines on companies that do not comply with it have already become real. Actions taken by the company in light of a data integrity violation directly affect the final cost of such a violation. Reputational damage is inevitable if the response to a cyber incident is inadequate. New risks require new tools to respond to their potential impacts and mitigate them. This article discusses the possible risks of financial technologies, draws attention to cyber threats, the frequency of which is increasing, and offers a model for identifying and evaluating cyber risks.

For a very long period of time, financial inclusion researchers have been addressing the barriers that prevent unprivileged people from accessing and using financial services. Financial exclusion is an underlying social problem that dates from the creation of the first financial system. Without the access to the banking and financial infrastructures, the unbanked are perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty. Blockchain is leading this transformation of allowing unbanked and underbanked people to have access and interact with the finance industry. The promise of a digital economy is starting to take shape, as financial technology (FinTech) companies are evolving the concept of democratization of access. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is expanding the possibilities of financial technology by creating an ecosystem based on transparency, accessibility, and efficiency. We are witnessing a paradigm shift for most of the financial services which are remodeling the accessibility and usability of these services, addressing the excluded and underserved population.
