Jakarta, 15 May 2013 - Three largest cellular operators in Indonesia (Telkomsel, XL and Indosat) collaborate to provide the latest innovation in the digital era, namely the E-money Interoperability (P2P Transfer) service, or the Cross-Operator Electronic Remittance Service. This service is launched together by the president directors of the three companies, namely Alex J Sinaga of Telkomsel, Hasnul Suhaimi of XL, and Alexander Rusli of Indosat, and witnessed by the Governor of Bank Indonesia, Darmin Nasution, Minister of Communications and Informatics, Tifatul Sembiring, and Head of Fiscal Policy Agency, Bambang Brodjonegoro.
This collaboration is aimed at developing and expanding the electronic remittance service network in Indonesia by speeding up the electronic remittance speed, adding distribution channels, increasing SMS traffic exponentially, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of all three operators in developing the electronic remittance service. In addition, this collaboration is also a form of support for Bank Indonesia in its effort to develop a cash-less society.
With this cross-operator electronic remittance service, the customers of all three operators, numbering at around 230 million subscribers, can remit money to one another. For example, a TCASH (Telkomsel) subscriber can transfer money to a XL Tunai (XL) subscriber as well as to a Dompetku (Indosat) subscriber, and vice versa.
