TANGERANG, 29 April 2026 – As part of its commitment to accelerating digital transformation and expanding financing access for MSMEs, Credit Bureau Indonesia (CBI), through SME Bureau, participated in the UMKM Digital Finance Tour – Tangerang Edition . The strategic event, initiated by the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and SeaBank, was held in conjunction with the launch of UMKM Pintar at Mall Alam Sutera, Tangerang, on Wednesday, 29 April 2026.

Deputy for Small Enterprises, Temmy Satya Permana , stated that the event, held in collaboration with SeaBank and CBI SME Bureau, represents a strategic step by the government to address financing access challenges that remain a major obstacle for many MSMEs in Indonesia.

“As many as 69.5 percent of MSMEs still do not have access to bank credit. The main challenges include insufficient Financial Information Services System (SLIK) records, limited collateral, and relatively high interest rates. In fact, the need for working capital is very real, with 43.1 percent of MSMEs stating that they require credit to expand their businesses,” said Temmy.

Recognizing that transparency and proper data governance are key to building trust with financial institutions, CBI SME Bureau introduced a digital solution designed to help MSMEs strengthen their business credibility. During the event, Tiffany Octaviana, Head of CBI SME Bureau , officially introduced the “Andalan UMKM” platform, which can be accessed through sme.cbi.id .

The platform is specifically designed to help MSME entrepreneurs build and organize their business profiles digitally in a more structured and professional way. Through Andalan UMKM , CBI SME Bureau aims to support MSMEs in creating better business visibility, enabling them to become more attractive and accessible to investors and financial institutions.

The roadshow, also supported by SeaBank, received strong enthusiasm from participants, with more than 100 MSME entrepreneurs from Tangerang and surrounding areas attending the event. Through CBI SME Bureau’s interactive booth, participants not only received educational insights but were also able to directly sign up for the Andalan UMKM platform and begin digitizing their business profiles on-site.

CBI SME Bureau greatly appreciates the support and recognition from the Ministry of MSMEs for CBI’s role in strengthening Indonesia’s digital financing ecosystem. This synergy between the government, financial institutions, and technology partners is expected to encourage MSMEs to go beyond digital marketing literacy and become more independent in managing their financial reputation.

Through this initiative, CBI SME Bureau hopes to contribute to a more inclusive financing ecosystem and support Indonesian MSMEs in becoming more prepared, credible, and competitive for sustainable business growth.
