Perkembangan dunia perbankan semakin pesat dan berperan besar membantu perekonomian. Dalam rangka pemenuhan kebutuhan, baik masyarakat sebagai perorangan maupun pengusaha dan/atau perusahaan seringkali meminta dana melalui fasilitas kredit maupun pembiayaan dari bank. Piutang yang timbul dari kegiatan tersebut merupakan suatu tagihan atas nama yang melibatkan dua pihak yaitu kreditur dan debitur. Kenyataannya pembayaran atau pelunasan kredit tidak selalu lancar. Salah satu cara penyelesaian kredit bermasalah dilakukan dengan pengalihan piutang/hak tagih secara cessie kepada pihak ketiga. Namun, cessie tetap harus dilakukan secara bijak. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai bagaimana pengaturan mengenai cessie di Indonesia, pertanggungjawaban bank terhadap debitur saat cessie diklasifikasikan sebagai suatu perbuatan melawan hukum, dan bagaimana akibat hukum pembatalan cessie terhadap bank. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-normatif dengan studi kepustakaan yang dilengkapi dengan wawancara. Hasil dari penulisan ini, cessie harus dilaksanakan sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan, bank dimungkinkan melakukan tindakan perbuatan melawan hukum apabila tindakannya menyebabkan kerugian bagi debitur, dan terdapat akibat hukum bagi bank saat cessie dibatalkan seperti kenaikan non-performing loan, mempengaruhi kedudukan pada kelas Bank Umum Kegiatan Usaha, dapat mempengaruhi tingkat kesehatan bank, serta berdampak pula pada nama baik bank di mata masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan peningkatan pengawasan dan peningkatan pelaksanaan prinsip kehati-hatian oleh bank.
