FinTech startups in Indonesia [list]

Indonesia FinTech startups

Indonesia has the largest population in Southeast Asia and one of the fastest growing economies. As financial technologies – FinTech – are becoming some of the hottest business opportunities in Indonesia, many startups and companies engage in the competition to conquer big and promising markets.

Indonesia’s economy represents about 40% of the Southeast Asian economy; it is the only member of the G20 in ASEAN. Yet, as Indonesia is still in an early phase of its development, many industries are under-developed, creating numerous opportunities for startups and newcomers to conquer large markets through innovative approaches.

Rising Internet connectivity and use of mobile devices make many sectors even more attractive that they were previously hindered by Indonesia’s infrastructure challenges. The very solvable financial services therefore become some of the most interesting opportunities for entrepreneurs to build fast growing applications like this mobile payment startup in the Philippines.
