Ayoconnect proudly announces that as the largest Open Finance API platform in Southeast Asia and the only licensed open finance player in Indonesia, we have recently achieved the Payment Initiation and/or Acquiring Services (PIAS) license from Bank Indonesia!

This accomplishment reflects our commitment to ensuring regulatory compliance and prioritizing transaction security for its embedded lifestyle solutions. With the Indonesian banking industry actively embracing digital transformation, Ayoconnect's licenses align with the growing demand for affordable and secure digital banking services, particularly among MSMEs (micro, small and medium-sized enterprises), and underbanked individuals.

‍

Understanding PIAS

One of the regulations that all players in the financial technology ecosystem must comply with is obtaining a license from Bank Indonesia, which is regulated by the Payment System Service Providers (PJP classification). One of the activities under PJP issued by Bank Indonesia is the Payment Initiation and/or Acquiring Services (PIAS) activity.

‍

According to data from Bank Indonesia's official website, payment initiation and/or acquiring services activities involve forwarding payment transactions. The development of Open Banking drives this innovative payment method. PIAS ensures licensed third-party providers (TPPs) comply with regulations to ensure customer security when making payments through direct bank transfers from the customer's bank account.
