Amongst Indonesia's 275 million population,conventional credit access penetration is considered very low at just around 3% due to a lack of proper credit history. Traditional credit scoring models tend to disadvantage such individuals who are classified as high-risk borrowers. Hence,acceleration of the fintech lending revolution is essentially needed in Indonesia. JULO,with its versatile digital credit features,is offering seamless and easy credit access across the nation.

"JULO C-level appointments by the end of 2022 serves as our commitment to be the most accessible credit and financial solution provider in Indonesia. Along with the continuous enhancement of technology,product features,and strategic partnership,more people will be able to access digital credit with JULO. We believe that access to financial services is the key to empower people to achieve financial stability." said CEO & Co-founder JULO,Adrianus Hitijahubessy.
