    PPRO Grows in Indonesia

    The payments infrastructure provider has announced the integration of Indonesian «buy now pay later» (BNPL) pioneer Kredivo to its platform.

    PPRO is partnering Kredivo – one of Indonesia’s largest and fastest-growing digital credit platforms – to allow more merchants to reach a large pool of underbanked or unbanked Indonesians.

    The integration is a cooperation between PPRO, Kredivo, and DOKU, a leading payment technology company, and enables PPRO to offer the increasingly popular BNPL payment option, as well as split payment and flexible instant credit offerings via Kredico.

    Indonesia continues to be recognized as the world’s hottest battleground for digital payments. The addition of Kredivo to our platform is a milestone in our Indonesia expansion, Kelvin Phua, PPRO head of global market development, said.

    Kredivo currently has more than 4 million users in Indonesia, representing over 50 percent of the local BNPL market.

    The news follows the recent announcement of the integration of two of the most popular payment methods in Indonesia, Jenius Pay and LinkAja, to the PPRO platform. Other payment methods on PPRO’s wider global network include Alipay, WeChat Pay, GrabPay, Bancontact, iDEAL, BLIK, and Boleto Bancário. PPRO raised $180 million earlier this year, taking the firm’s total value to over $1 billion.

    Kredivo has also been expanding of late – it inked a partnership with Standard Chartered in October to offer BNPL loans to the mass market segment via digital channels. The company also launched in Vietnam in August through a joint venture. FinAccel, Kredivo’s parent company also announced plans to go public via a $2.5 billion SPAC merger. The firm had raised US$90 million in 2019 during a Series C funding round to double down on its Southeast Asian expansion plans.

    StanChart Inks Buy-Now-Pay-Later Deal in Indonesia

    The bank’s branch in Indonesia has announced a partnership to offer Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans to the mass market segment via digital channels.

    Standard Chartered will offer small-ticket loans to customers in Indonesia via its partnership with Kredivo – one of the country’s largest and fastest-growing digital credit platforms, the bank announced on Thursday.

    While Standard Chartered already enjoys a strong position in the retail affluent segment, we are strengthening and expanding our distribution channels to serve mass-market customers more efficiently,» Jeffrey Tan, Standard Chartered head of Consumer, Private and Business Banking (CPBB), Indonesia, said,

    Customers can enjoy a fully digital onboarding and credit application process, with no face-to-face verification requirement, via Kredivo’s coverage of retailers and AI-driven credit scoring capabilities.

    The bank hopes to ride on the accelerating adoption of digital financial services in Southeast Asia’s most populous nation, as well as improving market sentiment and retail sales as vaccination and pandemic-related metrics continue to improve, leading to higher demand for loans.

    This announcement follows Standard Chartered’s recent partnership with BNPL platform Atome to deliver a wide range of financial services to consumers and merchants across key markets in Asia.

    Kredivo has also been expanding of late – in August, the company launched in Vietnam through a joint venture with Phoenix Holding, a family investment company based in the country. FinAccel, Kredivo’s parent company also announced plans to go public via a $2.5 billion SPAC merger. The firm had raised US$90 million in 2019 during a Series C funding round to double down on its Southeast Asian expansion plans.
