Abstract
Lending is the main business activity in the banking business. However, it should be noted that in addition to
promising benefits as the main source of bank income, lending also has a high risk side for banks, namely the
risk of failure to return, resulting in losses for the lending bank. To reduce this risk, before extending credit,
banks must make a careful assessment of the character, ability, collateral and business prospects of the debtor.
Credit collateral has an important role in lending. Creditors collateral is an additional guarantee submitted by a
Debtor Customer to a bank in the framework of providing credit or financing facilities based on Sharia
Principles. This paper aims to provide an overview of the juridical overview of credit collateral in financial
engineering in Indonesia. The research result shows that guarantee is not an absolute requirement. Therefore, it is
possible for banks to provide unsecured credit. Guarantee is only one of the conditions that must be met by the
customer in addition to other conditions. However, in operational practice, in lending, banks need to require
collateral in the form of assets belonging to the debtor. This is based on the premise that lending is a risky
banking activity, so in its implementation, banks must pay attention to sound credit principles.

1. Introduction
In general, the literature suggests that the banking industry has an important role in increasing the economic
growth of a country, including in Indonesia. The role of the banking industry in this economy, among others, is
to carry out the function of transmission, collect and distribute funds, transform and distribute risks in an
economy, and stabilize economic conditions. In developing countries, the existence of the banking industry is
becoming increasingly important, considering that a typical developing country is the existence of a saving -
investment gap that cannot be covered by the government budget. The involvement of banks in collecting and
channeling public funds will greatly assist the economic development process (Simatupang, 2019).
In line with the dynamics and development of the banking service industry, as well as to strengthen the
banking function as an agent of development, the banking service industry is required to always be able to create
and support an increase in economic growth which leads to an increase in the standard of living of the people at
large. In addition, the government continues to take steps to improve the quality and quantity of bank credit
while maintaining economic stability, especially in facilitating banking credit for the business world, while still
adhering to the principles of sound credit (Wahyuni, 2017).
Lending is the backbone of banking activities, because the biggest income for banks is from interest income
and the proportion of credit. Credit security is a chain of bank activities. This security measure starts when the
bank plans to provide credit. In preparing a plan for lending, banks have taken into account various aspects that
are accessible to operational capabilities. Regulating the allocation of credit to favorable sectors, which
customers are given, and with what amount of the ceiling and so on, are steps to maintain credit security. Banks
need to take steps to secure credit because lending is a risky activity (Bambang, 2014).
However, it should be noted that in addition to promising benefits as the main source of bank income,
lending also has a high risk side for banks, namely a greater risk of failure to return, which causes credit to
become problematic which leads to bad credit which results in losses for the bank. credit provider. Credit
collateral has an important role in lending. Regarding debt guarantee, in positive law in Indonesia there are
various laws and regulations that regulate or are related to debt guarantee or guarantee law. The provisions of the
applicable guarantee law provide arrangements that will protect the parties with an interest in the loan money
and debt guarantee. The guarantee function in providing bank credit is intended as a guide for interested parties,
especially the bank. The bank will feel safe and trust the existence of a guarantee from the debtor or customer
because if there is a risk of default in the future, the bank can sell the guarantee as a substitute for the loan that
has been given. In connection with the activity of providing bank credit regarding debt collateral, it is called
credit guarantee or collateral. Credit guarantees are generally required in a credit extension (Bahsan, 2007). This
paper aims to provide an overview of the juridical overview of credit collateral in financial engineering in
Indonesia.
