"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME’s) have an important role in the development of the Indonesian economy. So far, MSME’s are still faced with various kinds of obstacles, one of which is that MSMEs still face problems related to limited access to funding to financial institutions. Limited access to funding to financial institutions is partly due to the limited assets owned by MSME’s to be used as collateral for bank loans. Guarantee is the activity of providing guarantees by the Guarantor for the fulfillment of Guaranteed financial obligations to the Recipient of the Guarantee. Guarantee Company is a legal entity …
Hak Cipta Sebagai Jaminan Pemberian Kredit Bank Dikaitkan Dengan Prinsip 5c (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition Of Economy), Tantowi Akbar
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Banking institutions in Indonesia have the main function as collector and distributor of public funds as outlined in Article 3 of Banking Law Number 10 of 1998. In loans provided, banks are required to use the precautionary principle, known as the 5C Principle (Character, Capacity, Capital, Guarantee, and Condition of Economy). One form of collateral known in Indonesia is fiduciary collateral that can be encumbered for both movable and immovable objects either tangible or intangible that can not be encumbered for a Mortgage according to Article 1 number 2 of Fiduciary Guarantees Law Number 42 of 1999. Copyright is one …
The Rise Of "Fringetech": Regulatory Risks In Earned-Wage Access, Nakita Q. Cuttino
The Rise Of "Fringetech": Regulatory Risks In Earned-Wage Access, Nakita Q. Cuttino
Northwestern University Law Review
By many accounts, the financial technology, or FinTech, sector appears to have developed an innovative solution to assist low-income workers with income shortfalls between standard paydays by displacing fringe financial service providers, namely payday lenders. Earned wage access programs facilitate early transfers of earned-but-unpaid wages to low- income workers through mobile platforms, algorithmic technology, and GPS tracking. To many, earned wage access programs represent a win-win for employees and employers. These programs are believed to be cheaper and safer alternatives to payday loans. Preliminary research also suggests these programs improve labor-retention rates for employers and help reduce financial distress for …
O Tell Me The Truth About Bail-In: Theory And Practice, Marco Ventoruzzo, Giulio Sandrelli
O Tell Me The Truth About Bail-In: Theory And Practice, Marco Ventoruzzo, Giulio Sandrelli
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
In this perspective, the purpose of this Article is to analyze the functioning of the European regulatory framework for the crisis of credit institutions in the light of its early applications, and with a special focus on the bail-in tool. We investigate how the new resolution mechanisms—rooted in the principle of private sector involvement in banking restructurings—have interplayed with (and tried to re-shape) legal and institutional contexts still characterized by an attitude to bail-out rescues and by non-harmonized national insolvency legislations.
Domestic Asset Protection Trusts: Ushering In The Klackaba Era, Cheyenne Vankirk
Domestic Asset Protection Trusts: Ushering In The Klackaba Era, Cheyenne Vankirk
Seattle University Law Review
The growth in the U.S. economy has allowed Americans to increase their savings--but how? A novel approach has emerged in seventeen states: domestic asset product trusts (DAPTs). DAPTs are self-settled spindthrift trusts that allow the settlor to retain a beneficial interest in the trust while removing it from the reach of future creditors. Through the lens of the favorable ruling in Klackaba v. Nelson, this Note addresses why DAPTs should be regarded as an effective method of protecting a settlor’s money and argue for more states to follow suit.
Fintech Lending: A Study Of Expectations Versus Market Outcomes, Vincent Dilorenzo
Fintech Lending: A Study Of Expectations Versus Market Outcomes, Vincent Dilorenzo
Faculty Publications
This article explores expectations and outcomes. It documents the expectations for the fintech lending industry, which has emerged in this decade, and compares such expectations to market outcomes. It presents an evidence-based analysis for policy making decisions. Part one of the article documents expectations—possible benefits and risks of fintech lending—through large-scale surveys and interviews of industry, consumer and government stakeholders. Part two of the article examines market outcomes—benefits and risks that have been realized or failed to materialize as documented by studies of substantial data sets of various types of fintech loans. The benefits and risks explored include increased access …
American Usury Law And The Military Lending Act, Paul Kantwill, Christopher L. Peterson
American Usury Law And The Military Lending Act, Paul Kantwill, Christopher L. Peterson
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
In 2006 Congress adopted the Military Lending Act (“MLA”) to protect active duty military service members and their families from high-cost, predatory loans. The core provision of the statute is a usury limit capping interest rates at no more than 36 percent per annum. The United States Department of Defense finalized regulations implementing the MLA in 2007 and then later issued substantially revised regulations in 2015. The MLA is America’s first modern, national usury law that is applicable to all types of creditors and was adopted after the evolution of our national credit card market. After over a decade, the …
The Cfpb’S Endaround, Chris O'Brien
The Cfpb’S Endaround, Chris O'Brien
Catholic University Law Review
The financial crisis of 2008 led Congress to enact the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and establish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to better protect consumers. Although Dodd-Frank and the CFPB introduced sweeping changes to many areas of financial lending, automobile dealers and financers were expressly excluded from oversight by the CFPB. Despite this express limitation on the CFPB’s authority, the Bureau nonetheless expanded its definition of “larger participants” to encompass automobile dealers and financiers. This action has resulted in duplicative regulatory oversight and increased costs to consumers, which in turn, imposes additional burdens on those …
Making Innovation More Competitive: The Case Of Fintech, Rory Van Loo
Making Innovation More Competitive: The Case Of Fintech, Rory Van Loo
Faculty Scholarship
Finance startups are offering automated advice, touchless payments, and other products that could bring great societal benefits, including lower prices and expanded access to credit. Yet unlike in other digital arenas in which American companies were global leaders, such as search engines and ride hailing, the U.S. has lagged in consumer finance. This Article posits that the current competition framework is holding back consumer financial innovation. It then identifies a contributor that has yet to be articulated: the organizational design of administrative agencies. Competition authority—including antitrust and the extension of business licenses—is spread across at least five regulators. Each is …
Postal Banking's Public Benefits, Mehrsa Baradaran
Postal Banking's Public Benefits, Mehrsa Baradaran
Scholarly Works
The basic idea of postal banking is to have a public bank that would offer a wide range of transaction services, including deposit-taking and small lending. Post offices could offer these services at a much lower cost than banks and the fringe banking industry because (1) they can use natural economies of scale and scope to lower the costs of the products; (2) their existing infrastructure significantly reduces overhead costs, and (3) they do not have profit-demanding shareholders and would be able to offer products at cost.
The Hausmann-Gorky Effect, Mitu Gulati, Ugo Panizza
The Hausmann-Gorky Effect, Mitu Gulati, Ugo Panizza
Faculty Scholarship
For over a century, legal scholars have debated the question of what to do about the debts incurred by despotic governments; asking whether successor non-despotic governments should have to pay them. That debate has gone nowhere. This paper examines whether an Op Ed written by Harvard economist, Ricardo Hausmann, in May 2017, may have shown an alternative path to the goal of increasing the cost of borrowing for despotic governments. Hausmann, in his Op Ed, had sought to produce a pricing penalty on the entire Venezuelan debt stock by trying to shame JPMorgan into removing Venezuelan bonds from its emerging …

The Financial Crisis And Credit Unavailability: Cause Or Effect?, Steven L. Schwarcz
The Financial Crisis And Credit Unavailability: Cause Or Effect?, Steven L. Schwarcz
Faculty Scholarship
Although the relationship between credit availability and financial decline leading to the global financial crisis was somewhat interactive, a loss of credit availability appears to have caused the financial crisis more than the reverse. The potential for credit unavailability to cause a financial crisis suggests at least three lessons: (i) because credit availability is dependent on financial markets as well as banks, regulation should protect the viability of both credit sources; (ii) diversifying sources of credit might increase financial stability if each credit source is robust and does not create a liquidity glut or inappropriately weaken central bank control; and …

Banking And The Social Contract, Mehrsa Baradaran
Banking And The Social Contract, Mehrsa Baradaran
Scholarly Works
This article asserts that there exists today and has always existed an interdependent relationship between banks and the state. I refer to this connection and its mutual benefits and responsibilities as a social contract. When Alexander Hamilton responded to President Washington’s inquiry about the advisability of a national bank, he wrote that “such a Bank is not a mere matter of private property, but a political machine of the greatest importance to the State.” This social contract has existed since the inception of banking in the United States and has been reinforced over time, but it has recently become weakened …

The Basel Iii Liquidity Coverage Ratio And Financial Stability, Andrew W. Hartlage
The Basel Iii Liquidity Coverage Ratio And Financial Stability, Andrew W. Hartlage
Michigan Law Review
Banks and other financial institutions may increase the amount of credit available in the financial system by borrowing for short terms and lending for long terms. Though this "maturity transformation" is a useful and productive function of banks, it gives rise to the possibility that even prudently managed banks could fail due to a lack of liquid assets. The financial crisis of 2007-2008 revealed the extent to which the U.S. financial system is exposed to the risk of a system-wide failure from insufficient liquidity. Financial regulators from economies around the world have responded to the crisis by proposing new, internationally …
Basel Iii And Credit Risk Measurement: Variations Among G20 Countries, Matt Schlickenmaier
Basel Iii And Credit Risk Measurement: Variations Among G20 Countries, Matt Schlickenmaier
San Diego International Law Journal
Most countries require banks to hold extra capital to protect against unforeseen financial calamities; banks with riskier loans must hold more capital than those with safer loans. Basel II, a set of international banking standards, allows banks to measure a loan’s risk in different ways: some banks make their own judgments; others use outside agencies. The recent mortgage crisis prompted banks to reevaluate these methods, in part due to banks having failed to perceive the high level of risk inherent in securitized mortgages. The international community’s response was Basel III, an updated version of its previous standards. This Comment will …

Regulation Goes Medieval, Andrew A. Schwartz
Regulation Goes Medieval, Andrew A. Schwartz
Publications
Section 301 of the 2009 federal Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act prohibits the issuance of consumer credit cards to young adults ages 18–20 unless the credit contract is cosigned by an older adult who accepts joint liability for the card, or else the young adult proves she has “independent means of repaying” her credit card obligations. This prohibition is at odds with a 50-year trend of extending the rights of adulthood to people ages 18–20. It also blocks an important source of credit for young entrepreneurs, who often use consumer credit to launch their enterprises.
Unclaimed Financial Assets And The Promotion Of Microfinance, Andrew W. Hartlage
Unclaimed Financial Assets And The Promotion Of Microfinance, Andrew W. Hartlage
Michigan Law Review First Impressions
State governments can effectively promote domestic entrepreneurship in low-income communities and simultaneously fulfill their duties as conservator s of unclaimed property, by lending unclai med financial assets-in-trust at preferential interest rates to in-state microfinance providers. This plan presents an alternative to charitable contributions, though it does not resolve the tension between for-profit and not-for-profit microfinance providers. Such a scheme could be a significant funding source for many microfinance operations in the United States today. Even a small portion of the yearly intake of unclaimed assets would be substantial enough to support fully most microfinance loan portfolios. Also, reinvestment of unclaimed …
Bubbles, Busts, And Blame, Robert C. Hockett
Bubbles, Busts, And Blame, Robert C. Hockett
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
I argue that financial asset price bubbles and busts, such as those we have recently experienced in the mortgage and securities markets, are compatible with market efficiency, individual rationality, and even ethically unobjectionable behavior. The reason is that they constitute classic recursively self-amplifying collective action problems, the hallmark of which is the efficient aggregation of individually rational behaviors into collectively calamitous outcomes. In the present case, individuals rationally "legged the spread" between cheap borrowing costs and credit-fueled capital gains rates, neither of which market actors could affect in their individual capacities even when knowing that credit would have eventually to …

Old Enough To Fight, Old Enough To Swipe: A Critique Of The Infancy Rule In The Federal Credit Card Act, Andrew A. Schwartz
Publications
In the 1960s and 1970s, American society came to the considered conclusion that if eighteen-year-olds can be drafted to fight and possibly die for their country, they should be treated as adults under the law. Thus, in 1971, the Twenty-Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which lowered the voting age to eighteen from twenty one, was proposed and ratified in just three months, making it the fastest amendment in American history. The minimum age for federal and state jury service was also lowered to eighteen from twenty one. And, with regard to contract law, every state passed legislation reducing …
Deterring "Double-Play" Manipulation In Financial Crisis: Increasing Transaction Cost As A Regulatory Tool, Lin (Lynn) Bai, Rujing Meng
Deterring "Double-Play" Manipulation In Financial Crisis: Increasing Transaction Cost As A Regulatory Tool, Lin (Lynn) Bai, Rujing Meng
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The sub-prime mortgage crisis that originated in the United States has triggered a global credit crunch, threatening the solvency of emerging markets that have relied heavily on foreign debt, and resulting in the devaluation of their currencies. Currency market interventions by the central banks in countries with a currency board system lead to higher short-term interest rates and further declinations in the local stock market. This economic setting invites the double-play manipulation strategy that simultaneously attacks both the local currency and the stock market. History has shown that a central bank’s stock market intervention is costly and that sustaining the …
Keynote Address: The Case For A Market Liquidity Provider Of Last Resort, Steven L. Schwarcz
Keynote Address: The Case For A Market Liquidity Provider Of Last Resort, Steven L. Schwarcz
Faculty Scholarship
This short paper, prepared as a keynote address, explains why the credit crunch is fundamentally a story about financial markets, not banks. Its cause was a collapse of securitization and other debt markets, which have become major sources of financing for consumers and companies. Deprived of this financing, consumers have had difficulty purchasing homes and automobiles, and companies have had difficulty purchasing inventory and making capital investments, causing the real economy to shrink. This paper examines how these financial markets should be protected. Although already subject to many prescriptive regulatory protections, these markets evolve faster than regulation can adapt. The …
Credit Rating Agencies, Structured Securities, And The Way Out Of The Abyss, Lois R. Lupica
Credit Rating Agencies, Structured Securities, And The Way Out Of The Abyss, Lois R. Lupica
Faculty Publications
The article examines the role of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in the evolving financial markets, and particularly in connection with the structured finance markets. The movement away from relationship-based lending based on trust, to the less personal capital markets, makes an objective assessment of creditworthiness essential to the structure of legitimate transactions, as well as to the credibility of investor decision-making. Yet, the financial crisis of 2008-2009 revealed that the CRAs seriously underestimated the risk of many complex securities that they rated. As CRAs have devoted a greater share of their resources to develop methods of rating these progressively more …
Deleveraging Microfinance: Principles For Managing Voluntary Debt Workouts Of Microfinance Institutions, Deborah Burand
Deleveraging Microfinance: Principles For Managing Voluntary Debt Workouts Of Microfinance Institutions, Deborah Burand
Articles
This paper focuses on the challenges of responding to a deleveraging of the microfinance sector and offers guidelines for stakeholders in microfinance-regulators, policymakers, investors (debt and equity), donors, and microfinance providers-for how to address these challenges in the context of a microfinance institution debt workout so as to minimize undue disruption and damage to the microfinance sector as a whole.
The Financial Sector Upheaval Of 2008: Sociological Antecedents And Their Implications For Investment Company Regulation, Larry Barnett
The Financial Sector Upheaval Of 2008: Sociological Antecedents And Their Implications For Investment Company Regulation, Larry Barnett
Larry D Barnett
In 2008, the United States experienced a severe contraction in the availability of credit, a marked reduction in the price of common stocks, and an appreciable increase in interest rates on debt instruments issued by business entities and by state and local governments. The premise of the instant article is that, although this upheaval was economic in form and sudden in occurrence, it stemmed from change that was sociological in character and that started in prior decades. Specifically, the 2008 upheaval in finance is traced to a shift in social values among Americans - namely, an increased prevalence of hedonism …
