Indonesia’s e-wallet platform LinkAja, which was formed by a consortium of state-owned enterprises, officially launched its services on Sunday in Jakarta after a much-delayed start.
Created through a merger of the e-wallets of telco firm Telkomsel, and lenders Bank Mandiri, BRI and BNI, LinkAja’s launch was initially scheduled for early March and was delayed at least thrice. The consortium backing the e-wallet includes lender BTN, oil and gas firm Pertamina and insurance firm Jiwasraya.
