Bisnis.com, JAKARTA - AMITRA, a brand made by PT Astra International Tbk. in the field of sharia financing, bringing back the AMITRA Gold (AMIGO) service. For your information, AMITRA was previously known as the sharia business unit of PT Federal International Finance (FIFGROUP), which was later spin-off as PT Sharia Multifinance Astra (PT SMA). As a brand, AMITRA has long served the financing of regular hajj, special hajj, umrah, aqiqah, qurbani financing, as well as financing using appropriate sharia-based contracts and has followed the regulatory standards of POJK Number 10/POJK.05/2019 concerning Business Implementation of Sharia Financing Companies and the Sharia Business Unit of a Financing Company. President Director of PT SMA, Inung Widi Setiadji, revealed that this product is a solution for people who want to buy precious metal gold for investment in a safer and easier way during the pandemic. "Through AMIGO, people who want to buy gold can be done in installments over a period of time chosen by consumers, of course by using sharia financing," he said in an official statement, Wednesday (23/6/2021). Inung believes that currently gold is one of the most preferred investment instruments by the people of Indonesia, considering its security and minimal risk compared to other instruments. "We know that the price of gold has reached above Rp. 1 million per gram, so AMITRA through this AMIGO product can be used as a solution for Indonesian people who want to buy precious metal gold for investment or storage," he added. Director of PT SMA Yulian Warman explained that since this service was re-opened about a month ago, this product was immediately targeted by users who were interested in Islamic gold installments, because gold prices happened to be dropping again. "People see this as a good moment to buy gold products. Many buyers are interested in AMIGO products for gold weighing 10 grams and 5 grams," said Yulian. PT SMA also sees a big opportunity in the future because it turns out that many gold investment enthusiasts come from millennials, just like mutual fund enthusiasts. This was revealed based on the results of the Jakpat platform survey in February 2021, where as many as 46 percent of respondents in Indonesia had gold investments. The percentage was the highest, followed by mutual fund investment with 32 percent and bank deposit investment with 30 percent. For Indonesians who want to use the services of AMIGO products, the requirements are only an ID card and a Family Card (KK) and they only need to pay an administration fee starting from Rp.
