REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MANADO - Bank Indonesia as the central bank promotes people to use non-cash payment through Non-cash Payment Movement. The movement is intended to raise public awareness, especially in daily economic transactions.
"We set the Non-Cash Payment Movement as annual activities to increase people's understanding in financial transactions, which is easy, safe and efficient," Assistant Director of Bank Indonesia Representative Office in North Sulawesi, Eko Siswantoro, said recently.
There is still large potential for expanding non-cash payment system in Indonesia as the use of electronic based payment transaction is still low. Therefore, BI and banks as major players need to share the same vision and strong commitment to succeed.
