Clari5 Powers Real-Time AML & Fraud Controls for Indonesia’s OJK Regulation No. 12/2024: A New Era of Accountability

Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) is bringing in a new era of anti-fraud governance with Regulation No. 12/2024. It mandates that all Financial Services Institutions (LJKs), including banks, insurers, and fintechs, implement a comprehensive, four-pillar anti-fraud strategy. This regulation supersedes earlier fragmented rules, holds  boards and commissioners directly accountable, and expands requirements across the broader financial landscape.​

The four foundational pillars that OJK sets out are prevention; detection; investigation, reporting, and sanctions; and monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up. These anti-fraud pillars demand holistic integration across all channels and product lines. Banks must unify monitoring systems, deploy forward-looking behavioral analytics, conduct scenario-based simulations for emerging threats such as fraud rings, and provide audit-ready documentation at all times. Institutions relying on legacy rule-based systems, disconnected fraud tools, or manual reporting workflows face a critical choice: modernize rapidly or risk operational disruption, regulatory penalties, and erosion of customer trust.

Timeline: POJK 12/2024 was issued on July 31, 2024, and took effect on October 31, 2024. Banks must now have anti-fraud strategies fully operational, with the next semi-annual reporting deadline of January 31, 2026, rapidly approaching.
