The remittance market in Indonesia is a crucial financial ecosystem, particularly for those who rely on non-bank channels for fund transfers. According to data from Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan (LPS), domestic transfers dominate non-bank remittance transactions, with cash-to-cash transactions being the most prevalent. However, there are key gaps in the market that present both challenges and opportunities.
Key Market Insights
- Dominance of Domestic Transfers: Non-bank remittances are primarily used for local fund transfers, with cash-to-cash transactions being the most common.
- Competitive Yet Fragmented Market: With approximately 190 non-bank remittance players, the industry is highly competitive. However, most providers focus on account-to-account transfers, handling relatively small transaction volumes.
- Limited Service Offerings: Few providers offer diverse transaction types such as cash-to-account, account-to-cash, or cash-to-cash transfers, leaving a gap in service accessibility.
