As a country with high Internet penetration, high middle-class growth, and poor penetration of financial products, Indonesia is fertile ground for financial technology. Indonesia is arguably the most exciting market for cards and payments in the world.
With a population of 254 million spread across 17,500 islands and where cash is still the dominant payment method, Indonesia fintech startups have found a robust niche market to serve in the country.
In the case of fintech, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has been proactive in attempting to gain an understanding of the industry through discussions with various fintech players. New rulings for Indonesia fintech companies is planned to finalize by the end of the year.
In the mean time, there is quite a number of fintech events in Indonesia until end of year. Fintech News will walk you through a few most notable fintech events in Indonesia:
