Payments in Indonesia: Banking the unbanked
summary
Indonesia has just 36% of 260 million people with bank accounts and about 2% with credit cards, so digital wallets are filling the gap: Doku processes about $2B in 2016 and has ~1M wallets, GoPay accounts for roughly 50% of Go-Jek transactions and grows because drivers top up riders’ wallets, and agent models like Kudo’s ~100,000 agents let offline users buy online. Alipay’s scale (450M users) and Paytm’s $1B December volume show the growth path and where regulation, fraud controls and merchant integrations matter.
