QRIS is a payment standardization using a QR Code from bank Indonesia which aims to integrate all non-cash payment methods such as E-wallet (DANA, GoPay, OVO, LinkAja, ShopeePay), Mobile Banking (BCA Mobile, Livin’by Mandiri, etc.) payments that are incorporated in QRIS (national QR) to make transactions easier and safer without accepting cash.
Your transactions will be easier, faster, and more secure with a QR code.
For more details, see the information below about QRIS, the benefits of QRIS, and how to create a QRIS.
What is QRIS?
QRIS stands for Quick Response Indonesian Standard, a program launched by Bank Indonesia (BI) as a digital or online payment standard in Indonesia.
The QRIS program was created for practical purposes in payment transactions. As you know, in Indonesia, there are many digital wallets. For example, Ovo, Dana, LinkAja, Gopay, ShopeePay, and many more.
If each digital wallet had a different QR code, it would be inconvenient for both merchants and buyers. For information, before QRIS technology was introduced, every digital payment application in Indonesia had its QR code.
For example, if you want to use ten digital payment apps, you must have ten types of QR codes.
Therefore, QRIS is created and scanned easily through all official digital wallets in Indonesia, such as QRIS BCA and QRIS Mandiri or QRIS Gopay or QRIS Shopeepay.
As already regulated in PADG No.21/18/2019 regarding QRIS International Standards for payments.
It doesn’t matter which payment instrument you have; transactions can be done by scanning in one place, namely at QRIS merchants who work with this program.
