Unlicensed, Satgas PASTI Halts Operations of PT Malahayati Nusantara Raya

The Task Force for Eradicating Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas PASTI) has halted the operations of PT Malahayati Nusantara Raya (Malahayati), which offers services for resolving online loan and other financial problems, because it lacks permission from the authorities.

In addition, Satgas PASTI will block access to related social media and/or links (URLs). This halt of operations and blocking of links will apply until the relevant licensing requirements are met.

“Satgas PASTI will take firm steps in criminal law enforcement if the halt of operations is not complied with,” said the Head of the Satgas PASTI Secretariat, Hudiyanto, in his statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Malahayati offers various services to the public, including consultation services for online loan problems, debt collection services, and programmes for capital development and distribution to the community.

One of the services offered by Malahayati is directing the public to close debts from online loans by applying for new loans on other platforms.

Malahayati promises to handle and resolve debts on all online loans and requests a fee from a portion of the disbursed loan funds.

Based on the results of clarification and verification, it is known that Malahayati does not have permission from the OJK or other relevant regulators and conducts business activities that do not align with the licensing issued by the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM of the Republic of Indonesia.

If the public finds indications of similar offers, illegal investment offers, or illegal online loans, they can report them via the website sipasti.ojk.go.id or through OJK Contact 157, WhatsApp 081157157157, and email konsumen@ojk.go.id.

Meanwhile, members of the public who are victims of financial transaction scams can report via the Indonesia Anti-Scam Centre (IASC) website at iasc.ojk.go.id to support quick blocking of the perpetrators’ accounts.
