Indonesia's competition regulator is investigating if the Fintech Data Center (FDC) enabled cartel behavior among online lenders in relation to interest-rate caps. The Indonesian Competition Commission has questioned multiple licensed peer-to-peer lenders regarding the FDC's role in setting maximum daily lending rates.

The inquiry focuses on whether the FDC allowed lenders to coordinate by sharing interest-rate data that was accessible to other members. The hearings into these allegations are nearing completion.
