Jakarta, November 23, 2021 – To strengthen its commitment to improve financing towards the productive MSMEs (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) sector, KlikACC changed its name to KlikA2C.

“KlikA2C's focus is to expand the reach of finance to MSMEs, where 60% of Indonesia's population does not yet have finance access. KlikA2C embraces partners from various business sectors to jointly advance financial access for MSME actors. We believe that financial inclusion can be built with the spirit of partnership," said Djoemingin Budiono during a press conference on the rebranding of KlikACC to KlikA2C in Jakarta, Tuesday (23/11/2021).

KlikA2C which focuses on financing the productive sector of MSMEs, including farmers, recorded an 8-fold increase in loan disbursements over the past 2 years, from January-September 2019 to January-September 2021 with maintained credit quality, and success rate (TKB) 90 reaching 99.54%.

We are grateful that the company is growing positively in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic challenges, this is supported by the #KlikA2CHadirBersamaUMKM focus," said Djoe.

The surge in financial distribution was supported by working capital loans to used cars showroom owners, which rose more than 15 times, and the micro credit (KUR) loans to farmers, which increased more than 4 times. This shows the consistent commitment of KlikA2C to the MSMEs sector and those that have not been accessed by financial institutions, especially banks.

KlikA2C Chief Operation Officer, Bong Elysabet, said that the name change was the company’s momentum towards the next achievement.

“We are targeting KlikA2C to continue to maintain solid growth by continuing to maintain credit quality. On this occasion, KlikA2C also introduced applications and websites with a new look. The website can be accessed at www.klika2c.co.id. We hope that the improvement of KlikA2C's identity will be a turning point for the company that makes us more confident in facing challenges in the future, including the challenge of participating in advancing the P2P lending fintech industry in the country so that increasing public financial inclusion is achieved, " said Ely.
