Jakarta-headquartered startup Jukir has acquired local fintech firm Wallezz Finansial Teknologi for an undisclosed sum.
The acquisition is expected to strengthen Jukir’s electronic payment service, the startup said in a statement. Following the deal, Wallezz’ system will be integrated into Jukir’s, who will call the service as JuPay.
Jukir presents itself as a ‘parking revolution concept’. The app allows users to find and reserve parking spaces, pay fees, purchase tickets, phone credits, and pre-paid electricity vouchers.
Collaborating with local city governments, Jukir is set to modernise parking attendance in various cities in Indonesia like Bogor, Jakarta, Bandung, Tangerang, Pangkal Pinang, Bekasi and Palembang.
“This is the first step of a cashless digital world for us,” Budi Hartono, CEO of Jukir, stated.
Wallezz founder and CEO Christian Linting said: “This is a strategic partnership for us, and a way for us to contribute to the financial inclusion in this country. Along with our other partners, such as bersihkan.id &#8211; a trash e-banking app &#8211; we want to help realizing Indonesian smart cities.”
