Indonesia | Digital Payment System with China Established
China and Indonesia launched a cross‑border QR payment system connecting China’s major payment apps with Indonesia’s QRIS network, the country’s national digital payment standard, used by over 50 million people. At launch, the system supports Alipay and UnionPay (China’s dominant mobile payment platform and the national payment network, respectively), allowing travelers and residents from both countries to scan and pay across borders, with transactions settled directly in yuan and rupiah under a local currency settlement framework.
