Objective - The FSA Act the establishment of which is mandated by Article 34 of Law No. 23 of 1999 concerning the Bank of Indonesia, was enacted on 22 November 2011. This Act, together with Law No. 3 of 2004, regulates and supervises Indonesia's integrated financial services sector. This article reveals the existence of inconsistencies between the legal terms underlying the establishment of the FSA one the one hand, and the provisions contained in the Financial Service Authority itself, on the other. These inconsistencies also become evident in the light of the 1945 Constitution which facilitated the establishment of the Bank of Indonesia Law. The purpose of this article is to ascertain a method of resolving these inconsistencies associated with the genesis of the Financial Service Authority. Methodology/Technique - The research method used in this article is doctrinal in nature that uses secondary data and information sources as material to analyse the relevant problems. Findings - The research has revealed that the most appropriate method of settling these inconsistencies requires a consideration of the express wording of the FSA. Novelty - This article indicates the need to apply legal principles rather and adjudicatory methods. Type of Paper: Review Keywords: Settlement; Banking; Legal; Principle; Law.

Bank Indonesia created an appropriate regulatory regime to drive the pace of innovation carried out by Financial Technology Providers while still applying the principles of consumer protection, risk management and prudence. One of the efforts made by Bank Indonesia was by issuing provisions concerning a regulatory sandbox for Financial Technology Providers along with their products, services, technology and/or business models in a Board of Governors Member Regulation No 19/14/PADG/2017 on the Limited Technology Testing Room (Regulatory Sandbox) Financial Technology. Meanwhile, the Financial Services Authority also issued regulation regarding the Regulatory Sandbox for Financial Technology Organizers in Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 13 / POJK.02/2018 on the Digital Financial Innovations in the Financial Services Sector. The main point of view to be analysed is the existence of regulatory sandbox approach held by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority as an effort to encourage the growth of Financial Technology in Indonesia.

Financial technology (TF) cannot be released by the community both in rural areas or urban areas. TF provides a paradigm shift for the community. TF makes it easy for humans to make financial transactions simply by using a smart phone (HP) that humans can make payment transactions, borrow money. People will certainly choose TF that is safe and reliable and profitable, but sometimes people rarely know that a good and correct TF is a TF that has passed the Regulatory Sandbox (RS) test or a limited trial room. Two Government institutions that are authorized to carry out hospitals are Bank Indonesia (BI) through Bank Indonesia Regulation No: 19/12 / PBI / 2017 concerning Financial Services and Financial Services Authority (OJK) Implementation through “Financial Services Authority Regulation NUMBER 13 /POJK.02/2018 about Digital Financial Innovation in the Financial Services Sector”. The formulation of the problem raised is how is the TF supervision mechanism through the hospital implemented by BI or OJK? The method used in this scientific paper is a normative juridical method, using secondary data in the form of primary legal material consisting of laws and regulations relating to TF, secondary legal material in the form of scientific articles, journals and tertiary legal materials in the form of dictionaries. The research results obtained are that TF must pass the trial in the Regulatory Sandbox applied by BI or OJK. BI and OJK have the authority to determine whether the proposed TF is feasible or not feasible. RS is a significant method, according to the laws and regulations to get a TF that is suitable and safe for consumers and contains dignified justice, justice for business people and consumers.

The financial services sector in Zambia has become increasingly exposed to the ever-growing challenges posed by mobile network operators (MNOs). The introduction of mobile money by MNOs has witnessed increased usage of mobile money services. During the same period, there has been a noticeable decline in the usage of digital banking services. The research study therefore sought to establish whether there was a correlation between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services in Zambia. The study was quantitative in nature and was based on secondary data sources. Data from 19 of the 21 digital financial services providers in Zambia were analysed using times series trend analysis and simple linear regression analysis. In order to establish whether a correlation existed between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services in Zambia, a t- test was conducted. This acted as a guide to the decision as to whether or not to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The study failed to reject the null hypothesis and therefore concluded that no correlation existed between increased usage of mobile money services and usage of digital banking services. However, the study expounded the research results in terms of Schumpeter, Christensen and Foster’s ideas on disruptive innovation.

The fastest growing financial technology (fintech) in Indonesia is peer to peer lending, where customers could obtain loans in a simple, easy, and fast way, yet without collateral. However, in practice, peer to peer lending has a very high credit risk because the ability of fintech companies in assessing prospective loan recipients is not as good as other financial institutions. Therefore, preventive and repressive legal protection are needed, especially for lenders, which are regulated in OJK Regulation Number 77/POJK.01/2016 concerning the Implementation of Information Technology-Based Lending and Borrowing and OJK Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2013 concerning Consumers’ Protection in Financial Services Sector. With the two OJK Regulations, lenders have received sufficient legal protection, but it must be further strengthened, especially in terms of credit risk mitigation.Keywords: Legal Protection for Lenders, Peer To Peer Lending, Credit Risk

Data collection by questionnaire and data collected from 15 June to 15 July 2019. The method of data analysis is t-paired test. The research findings show that there are significant differences in MSME revenue after lending at FinTech. Net income has a significant difference after lending at FinTech. Research limitations for FinTech data in the Financial Services Authority or OJK are not yet complete, so the profile of MSMEs that conduct lending through FinTech is not yet in the database.
