The methodology used by the authors is with qualitative analysis techniques. The results of the research, sorted by the researchers into three points, namely: innovation disruption, fintech regulation and fintech to banking in Indonesia. The conclusion can be drawn from the research that disruption innovation that occurred in the financial sector with the emergence of fintech is not a phenomenon that must be feared and shunned but is a phenomenon that must be embraced to improve economic growth and prosperity. OJK as an institution that oversees the financial sector strongly supports the presence of fintech by issuing POJK regulation No. 77 / POJK.01 / 2016. For Bank Mandiri and BTPN, fintech can not be considered an ordinary phenomenon but the two banks are taking action to collaborate with fintech actors.
