Financial Institutions are institutions that are inseparable from economic activities because these institutions act as a medium between owners and users of capital. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) are becoming the prima donna, and have been empowered since almost 20 years ago although the results to date have not been encouraging.
