about the forum
TIPF 2026 — The International Policy Forum on Digital Financial Services and Consumer Protection — is a co-hosted policy impact forum convening on 20–21 August 2026 (In-Person Forum, Jakarta), co-hosted by Lembaga Perlindungan Konsumen Nasional Indonesia (LPKNI) and Consumers International.
The Forum brings together consumer organisations, regulators, academic institutions, and consumer-first business actors from across Consumers International’s global membership, including Consumers International Change Network partners, and the Indonesian regulatory ecosystem.
The Forum’s primary output is the Outcome Document. The Outcome Document will summarise key insights, commitments, and regulatory recommendations arising from the Forum. It will serve as a reference for national and regional policy processes on consumer protection in digital finance and as a resource for Consumers International’s global advocacy and Policy Impact Forums.
Vision
To equip consumer organisations worldwide with a shared, internationally-deliberated policy reference on Digital Financial Services and Instant Payment Systems — giving Consumers International member organisations in every country a common framework and collective voice when engaging their national regulators.
objectives
- Produce a consensus Outcome Document — a short summary at the Forum and a full document finalised post-Forum under joint LPKNI–Consumers International editorial oversight.
- Equip Consumers International member organisations with a reference document for national and regional policy processes on consumer protection in digital finance and a resource for Consumers International’s global advocacy and Policy Impact Forums.
- Across the four Working Group themes, generate regulatory recommendations for adoption or adaptation by national regulatory authorities.
- Provide policy inputs that are well-timed to be shared with the FinCoNet 2026 host through the Outcome Document.
