In Indonesia, the regulatory supervision of banking and financial services is under two regulatory bodies, Bank Indonesia (BI) and the more recently established, Financial Service Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK). This study looks at synergies in regulations for e-money (LKD) and branchless banking (Laku Pandai) to unleash the full potential of digital financial services in Indonesia.

This policy brief is based on our earlier studies and interactions/ experience with industry players in Indonesia. It presents a broad framework and strategic considerations to align the two DFS programs in a bid to enhance digital financial inclusion.
