10 Top Funded Fintech Companies in Indonesia

Indonesia’s fintech is probably one of the fastest growing tech sectors recently, thanks to  the proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. According to the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK), transactions through P2P lending totaled US$951 million (Rp 13.8 trillion) in the first three quarters of 2018, despite regulator crackdowns to curb predatory lendors.

The trend has brought a sense of tangibility and impact on fintech in Indonesia, which is bolstered by the rise in venture capitalist presence, as well as increasing bank interest in bolstering tech: a natural boon for fintech startups to take advantage of.

All of this is in service of President Joko Widodo’s ambition to turn Indonesia into the largest digital economy in Southeast Asia by 2020.

With international attention mounting and companies expanding into Indonesia, is important now to elevate the names of local champions in the fintech field here. The companies selected are positioned based on disclosed values on sites like Crunchbase or Tech in Asia, so actual valuations may vary.
