Financial Crime Definition in Indonesia: The Battle Against Money Laundering

The fight against financial crime is an ongoing battle in Indonesia, where financial institutions are under increasing pressure to comply with stringent regulations and prevent money laundering. In this challenging environment, Tookitaki has emerged as a trailblazer in the fight against financial crime with its innovative Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) Ecosystem.

AML Compliance in Indonesia

Indonesia has made significant progress in improving its approach to anti-money laundering (AML) and combating terrorist financing (CTF). The country is now seeking full membership in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which requires it to meet strict regulatory standards. As of February 2023, Indonesia has completed its mutual evaluation review and is awaiting FATF’s final decision.

Laws and Regulations

Indonesia has a robust legal framework for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Key regulations include:

  • Law No. 3 of 2011
  • Law No. 5 of 2018
  • Law No. 8 of 2010
  • Law No. 9 of 2013
  • Regulation No. 14/27/PBI/2012 for Commercial Banks to implement Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Programs

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with AML regulations in Indonesia can result in severe penalties, including:

  • Fines of up to IDR100 billion
  • Prison sentences of up to 20 years

This emphasizes the importance of effective AML compliance systems for financial institutions.

Limitations of Traditional Solutions

Traditional solutions for financial crime prevention, such as rules-based platforms, have limitations that hinder their effectiveness. These limitations include:

  • Siloed systems
  • Lack of collaboration capabilities
  • Reliance on predefined rules that can lead to high false positive rates and inefficiencies
