Overview
Cermati operates a financial e-commerce platform in Indonesia that lets users research, compare, and apply for financial products such as credit cards, loans, mortgages, auto loans, savings accounts, insurance, and bill payments. It aggregates product information from banks and financial institutions into a standardized format and guides, and sometimes processes, applications on behalf of partners, earning commissions from successful applications. The service differentiates itself by offering free access, a wide product catalog, and handling parts of the application and documentation flow to speed up approvals, turning a simple comparison site into an integrated fintech marketplace. Its goal is to expand financial inclusion in Indonesia by making financial products easier to find, compare, and access for people who are online but historically underserved by formal finance.
