Introduction

Banks are financial institutions that provide numerous benefits to their customers, including money loaning services with customer assets as collateral, such as land certificates and vehicle certificates. To fully leverage these services, it is essential to understand the deeds and documentation involved in the credit application process, which is crucial for anyone looking to borrow money from a bank.

Definition

Deeds refer to legal documents that record agreements or obligations between parties. In the context of banking services, deeds play a crucial role in formalizing various financial agreements and arrangements, such as loan agreements or property transactions. This documentation is essential for ensuring clarity and legal protection for all parties involved.

Commercial banks, which can operate either conventionally or based on sharia principles, utilize deeds to support their diverse range of services. These banks offer payment services and credit to customers for various needs, including business capital, home renovation, health, education, and daily necessities. By providing these services, banks facilitate financial planning and stability for individuals and businesses.

Credit, in particular, is a vital banking service where a bank provides money or bills based on a loan agreement, a type of deed, between the bank and the borrower. This agreement requires the borrower to repay the debt within a predetermined period, often with interest. Understanding the terms and conditions outlined in these deeds is essential for borrowers to make informed decisions and manage their financial obligations responsibly.

Types of loans:

  1. Investment Credit
    Loans for expanding or developing a business, such as building new projects or factories.

  2. Working Capital Credit
    Loans to increase a company's production operations capability, such as buying raw materials or paying employees.

  3. Productive Credit
    Loans to increase business sectors related to production or investment.

  4. Consumer Credit
    Loans for personal or institutional consumption, such as housing loans or vehicle loans.

  5. Trade Credit
    Loans for buying commodities or goods to be traded or resold, such as export-import credit.

    Based on the debtor’s personal wealth, ensuring that personal assets can be used to pay off the debt if necessary.

  6. Company Guarantee
    Similar to a personal guarantee but involves the company's assets.

  7. Deed of Fiduciary Guarantee

The Importance of Deeds in Banking Services

Understanding the deeds involved in banking services is essential for several reasons:

  1. Legal Compliance
    Deeds ensure that all legal requirements are met during the credit application process, protecting both the creditor and the debtor.

  2. Clarity and Transparency
    Deeds provide clear terms and conditions regarding the loan, including the loan amount, interest rates, and repayment schedule.

  3. Security
    Deeds serve as legal documentation of the collateral provided, ensuring that the creditor has a claim on the assets if the debtor defaults.

  4. Proof of Agreement
    Deeds act as formal proof of the agreement between the creditor and the debtor, which can be used in legal proceedings if necessary.

  5. Risk Mitigation
    Proper documentation through deeds helps mitigate risks for both parties by clearly outlining responsibilities and obligations.

Benefits of Deeds in Banking Service

Engaging in the proper preparation and execution of deeds in banking services offers several benefits:

  1. Legal Protection
    Deeds provide legal protection for both the creditor and the debtor, ensuring that the terms of the loan are enforceable in a court of law.

  2. Credibility and Trust
    Properly executed deeds enhance the credibility of the transaction, fostering trust between the creditor and the debtor.

  3. Ease of Dispute Resolution
    In the event of a dispute, deeds serve as formal proof of the agreement, making it easier to resolve conflicts through legal channels.

  4. Financial Planning
    Clear documentation helps both parties plan their finances better, as all terms are explicitly stated and agreed upon.

The Process of Deeds in Banking Services

The process of preparing and executing deeds in banking services involves several steps:

  1. Document Collection
    • For Individuals
      Collect personal identification documents such as KTP (Identity Card), KTP of spouse (if applicable), Family Card, Marriage Certificate (if applicable), and proof of collateral ownership.
    • For Companies
      Collect documents such as KTP of Directors and Commissioners, Shareholder Approval, Company deed and permits, and proof of collateral ownership.

    After the document is complete, the Bank will provide other supporting documents, such as an order list containing the estimated price of the guarantee provided by the Creditor and a credit certificate containing the loan amount, interest, fees, and other provisions.

  2. Notary Preparation
    The notary will prepare the required deeds based on the order list provided by the bank. They will check the land certificate to ensure it is free from disputes and not already used as collateral elsewhere.

    For land certificates, the notary will prepare a Deed of Granting Mortgage/Akta Pemberian Hak Tanggungan (APHT) and a Loan Agreement.

    For movable assets like cars or motorcycles, the notary will prepare a Deed of Fiduciary Guarantee.

  3. Signing of Deeds
    The debtor and creditor will sign the necessary deeds, such as the Loan Agreement and APHT.

  4. Registration
    The notary will register the Mortgage on the land at the Land Office within 7 days after signing the APHT. For fiduciary guarantees, the notary will register the deed with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia.

  5. Completion
    Once all deeds are signed and registered, the credit application process is complete, and the bank can disburse the loan.
