Jakarta, 16 November 2023 – PT VENTENY Fortuna International Tbk (“VENTENY”) has successfully obtained an effective letter from the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (“OJK”) to add PT Lampung Berkah Finansial Teknologi (“Lahan Sikam”) as a subsidiary through a capital injection of 51%. The corporate action between VENTENY and Lahan Sikam strengthens financial inclusion, a concept promoting public access and participation in financial services, which will be further realized through this collaboration. By integrating the resources and technology of both companies, access to financial services can be expanded to segments of the population that were previously difficult to reach.
Lahan Sikam is the first Peer-to-Peer Lending (P2P) company outside Java, with an extensive network, especially in Sumatra. They are focused on providing productive financing for businesses, particularly those in agriculture, plantation, fisheries, and livestock, especially in the Lampung region. As a company registered and supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Lahan Sikam currently serves thousands of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM).
VENTENY’s acquisition of Lahan Sikam is a strategic move to reach new potential partners, segments, and demographics. This enables the company to offer a comprehensive range of financial products and services, fostering strategic partnerships and collaborations within the industry. Additionally, it reinforces VENTENY’s presence in the Sumatra region, strengthening its position and ecosystem to quickly capture market potential with a robust risk assessment and compliance layer.
Founder and Group CEO of VENTENY, Jun Waide, stated, “We are excited about the potential arising from this business strategy. Having Lahan Sikam as part of VENTENY is a significant milestone for our journey to strengthen our commitment to the regional area. VENTENY is expanding its reach to help more UMKM and support the acceleration of Indonesia’s economy.”
VENTENY provides productive funding or growth funding for the operational and business development of UMKM players in Indonesia. As a super lender, VENTENY has been collaborating with several existing P2P Lending platforms in Indonesia to channel funds to UMKM partners.
