Director of PT Pos Finansial Indonesia Sandi Mardiansyah said that his side is very enthusiastic about the opportunity to collaborate with Alliex Co.Ltd. in developing an integrated cross-country digital payment business.
"(Such a network is possible) With the strong Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) infrastructure and our extensive service network," he added in a statement issued in Jakarta on Saturday.
He further said he believes that the synergy will produce a more efficient, secure, and easily accessible payment solution for all users, both within the country and abroad.
"We are committed to continuing to innovate and support digital transformation that can provide real benefits to the community," he added.
The meeting discussed the potential for cooperation in developing an integrated digital payment network by utilizing the QRIS infrastructure that is available across Indonesia and the Pospay network owned by Pos Indonesia Group.
Alliex Co.Ltd. CEO Park Byoung-gun said that the company is operating in Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam and has established partnerships with seven major banks in Vietnam, including BIDV, MB, and Sacom.
In Indonesia, the company is actively working to build a cultural bridge between Indonesia and Japan through its support for the Sakuranesia Education Foundation.
"We see great potential in integrating cross-border payment systems, especially between Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia," Park added.
He lauded PT Pos Indonesia, which said it is focusing on developing an easy-to-use payment system for Indonesian citizens (WNI) working abroad, especially in Vietnam and Japan.
He said that PT Pos showed interest in exploring the possibility of cooperation with Alliex Co.Ltd. to create a safe and convenient system for users living abroad.
Indonesia, with its strong QRIS infrastructure and the widespread Pos Indonesia Group network, has a solid foundation for developing an international payment network, he added.
"This collaboration can be a catalyst in creating a more integrated payment ecosystem in the ASEAN region," he said.
Alliex Co.Ltd. emphasized its unique approach of integrating multiple payment methods, including mobile and card payments, which can organically connect each country's payment networks.
This model has proved successful in Vietnam, where Alliex has built a comprehensive payment infrastructure.
PT Pos Indonesia, through its Pospay network, sees great potential in this collaboration to expand the reach of digital payment services to an international level.
The collaboration can open up opportunities for Pospay users to make transactions in various Asian countries.
The meeting was also attended by PT Pos Finansial Indonesia (POSFIN), a subsidiary of PT Pos Indonesia that offers technology-based financial services.
POSFIN manages 142 thousand agents spread throughout Indonesia, with the agents also serving as channels for cross-border financial transactions.
Both parties agreed to continue more detailed technical discussions regarding the possibility of system integration. They will focus on solving technical challenges in cross-border payments and improving user experience.
The strategic collaboration is expected to be an important step in the development of digital payments in the ASEAN region.
By combining Alliex's technological expertise and PT Pos Indonesia's extensive network, the two companies aim to create a more integrated and beneficial cross-border payments ecosystem for users across the region.
