Bank Indonesia launches new National Standard QRIS features
Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) is a payment standardization using the QR Code method from Bank Indonesia (BI), which is claimed to help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) move up in class. Since its release, QRIS has been prepared for MSMEs. QRIS will make it easier for MSMEs when there are consumers who want to make transactions.
On August 17, 2023, QRIS will launch new features in commemoration of the 78th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, enabling users to utilize it for cash withdrawal, transfer, and cash deposit transactions, or QRIS TUNTAS.
QRIS Cross-Border: Now Snack abroad can use Rupiah!
Now, snacking abroad using Rupiah currency is no longer just a dream. The Central Banks of four ASEAN countries, namely Bank Indonesia (BI), Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP), Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and Bank of Thailand (BOT), have agreed to collaborate in realizing and supporting faster, cheaper, transparent, and inclusive payments.
One embodiment is implementing QRIS between countries. Actually, what is QRIS between countries? Inter-border QRIS is a QR code-based cross-border payment system that can be used for cross-border transactions.
With QRIS between countries, transactions between countries no longer need to convert or exchange currency when shopping in the country they are visiting, just by scanning the QR code.
So, tourists from other countries can make payments for transactions in Indonesia by scanning the QRIS of Indonesian merchants using their country’s payment application.
On the other hand, payments for transactions by Indonesian tourists can be made by scanning the standard QR of the country they are visiting using the Indonesian payment application.
