1. Introduction
The needs of everyday life of human beings cannot be fulfilled by them. It is because they do not have sufficient funds. In
terms of it, if there are no goods sold, they will seek loans on others.The development of economic communityhas stimulated
person to get a loan through financing services either bank financial institutions or non-bank financial institutions such as
pledge.

To meet the needs of people who are considered as urgent needs, the government provides services in credit-based on pledge
for those who borrow from these services, called pledge. The pledge itself is one of the credit institutions that are handled by
the government under the auspices of the Minister of State Enterprises. The aim of the government to establish such credit
institutions is expected to assistthe financial needs of the community urgently especially among lower middle income people.

Pledge services are an effort from the Government to help people, especially the economically weak by channeling credit
assistance to meet the needs of everyday life. In addition,it also acts to prevent people from loan sharks and illegal bank that
will only make them entangled in a more complicated problem in terms of repayment. Mostly, the lending rates of the loan
sharks and illegal bankare very high.

As one of the non-bank financial services institution, PT.Pegadaian (Indonesian pledge institution) tries to improve the
function and its role in supporting economic development. It provides credit on the basis of the legal pledge to the
community, especially the middle class such as traders and small businessmen. Loan disbursement is done in a way that is
easy, fast, and safe. This condition creates an easy situation for the people to loan and do not give rise a new problem for the
borrower after the loan in pledge. Customers do not need to sell their goods, but goods are only a pledged of the credit
application.

Until right now, the pledge has several times changed its status. The changed status has started as a State enterprise (PN)

No. 103 of 2000 onPledge Public Company (Perum); and the Government Regulation No. 51 Year 2011 on Amendment of
Legal Entity of PledgePublic Company (Perum) to become Limited Company (Persero).
