There are so many people in Indonesian who love credit cards.
According to news report, there are 14.3 million credit cards holders among our country's 240 million population.
This is obvious because credit cards provide possibility for people to live conveniently i.e. it provide them the chance to buy things by credit.
The bad thing about credit card is that it drove many of its holders into very consumptive people, it makes them buy things they want even though their financial position is weak.
I know some people whose monthly salary only enable them to pay the minimum payment limit i.e. 10% of the total credit card expenditures, therefore they facing trouble settling the credit and interest.
The most sadistic case happened last year when a holder of credit card issued by Citibank was beaten to death by debt collectors at the major U.S bank's Jakarta office.
In order to prevent credit card crisis, the Central Bank i.e. Bank Indonesia, issued regulation No. 14/2/PBI/2012 regarding Credit Card Transaction Procedures, among others as follows :
1) Minimum age of a holder is 21 (currently 17) years old.
2) Minimum salary of a holder is Rp 3 Million, maximum credit limit is 3 times the amount of salary.
3) Those who have salary below Rp 10 Million may only have two credit cards
4) Those who have salary above Rp 10 Million may get higher credit limit from the bank
The new regulation will become effective on 1 January 2013, with a two years transition period for banks to adjust their existing regulation with the said new regulation.
I hope that this new regulation would prevent any credit card crisis in the future.

Bank Indonesia's regulation is a wise decision. These measures make really sense indeed. It helps to protect individuals against problematic debts. And it even may prevent society against another financial crisis.
Hi Harry, good to see you are back in the thick of it. Credit Cards here are too easy to get, I should know! Credit is just too easy here to get. The new regulations are a step but what is really needed is real data from the applicants salary and job etc so that those completing forms for applicants cant falsify salaries etc to hit their quotas
Thank you for visiting my other blog my great friend! Around the world people love credit card. It is practical. I hope the banks immediately regularize the situation. Violence scares and is spread around the world. I hope that the peace rule your country and in the world!
Sampai saat ini saya belum pernah punya kartu kredit Pak gimana ya enaknya belum bisa komentar
I'm cool-cool just because it did not have a credit card.
Thanks for sharing,happy blogging.
Yes, 17 is too young to have a credit card. Hope the new rules help.
wah, untungnya saya tdk punya kartu kredit, mas nizam, sehingga ndak samoai terjebak dalam budaya konsumtif. semoga peraturan baru kali ini bisa membatasi ruang gerak pemilik kartu kredit utk jor2an belanja.
Many people have changed to Visa cards - all the convenience of a credit card, but you use only your own funds, no credit.
yah, I hope the new regulation would evective to prevent any credit card crisis in the future. Thanks Harry Nizam, always get update info here.
@Colson,
I agree with you.
@Luke,
Yes you are right, the most important is that the credit card issuer must make very sure that the information given by applicant is real especially regarding salary.
@Nice Veloso,
We hope that the new regulation would prevent any bad things related to credit card.
@Smp3Lembang,
Lebih baik tidak memakai credit card.
@Raihan,
Yes it would be cool if you do not have a credit card.
@Linda,
We have high hopes on the new regulation.
@Sawali,
Anda beruntung tidak punya credit card sehingga terhindar dari masalah tertentu.
@Peter/Kiwi,
Yes it would be safer to use a debit card.
@Deeah,
Let us hope so,
kartu kredit memang membuat orang jadi konsumtif dan lupa kalau KK itu sebenarnya kartu hutang :(
Mudah2 an dengan ada nya kebijakan baru dapat mengurangi dampak negatif dan juga hal yg negatif yg berhubungan dengan debt collector
@Ario,
Anda benar, banyak orang yang memakai kartu kredit seolah2 sebagai kartu debit.
@Mesin,
Mudah2an peraturan tsb bisa menertibkan penerbitan dan pemakaian kk.
I would say I am glad I am not a credit card user anymore. Although I am encouraging my nephew and nieces to avail one for themselves to establish credit history. I am also in constant reminder to them to be responsible credit card holders. :)
@JP,
Good for you. I wish that I can throw away my credit cards but I can't.
Actually if we can control ourselves and use it right, the credit card is okay.
cukup siknifikan juga ya perkembangannya,denga pemegang card yang jumplahnya mencapai 14,3 juta itu sama dengan 5% dari jumplah penduduk kita,
semoga memang pelaturan terbaru ini benar benar memberi perlindungan terhadap pemegang kartu tersebut.biar kasus seperti citibnk tidak terulang lagi
It's a good regulation because sometimes people don't use the credit card wisely. they have a lot of debts and they don't know how to solve the problem.
