Illegal fintech lenders should be exterminated,” AFPI chairman Adrian Gunadi said in Jakarta on Wednesday. He added that the association, which currently had 73 members, had already teamed up with other institutions on the matter. He said the AFPI had been coordinating with several institutions like the OJK, the National Police, the Investment Alert Task Force and the Communications and Information Ministry to effectively combat illegal lenders.
