MatchMove and Bank Rakyat Indonesia Partner to Deliver Embedded Finance in Indonesia

MatchMove and Bank Rakyat Indonesia Partner to Deliver Embedded Finance in Indonesia

Singapore and Jakarta, 1st May 2021 - MatchMove, the leading Singapore-based ‘Banking-as-a-Service’ platform, and Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), one of the largest state-owned banks in Indonesia, announced their partnership to bring digitally native next-generation embedded finance to Indonesia.

Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia with a vibrant cultural and entrepreneurial landscape. Indonesia is a key milestone in MatchMove’s strategy to enable embedded finance and financial inclusion across Asia.

Embedded finance is taking the financial world by storm, with significant investments and interest worldwide. MatchMove’s Banking-as-a-Service enables businesses of all sizes to add bespoke banking products and services as part of their existing offerings. This partnership with BRI will bring embedded finance capabilities to all types of Indonesian businesses, large and small, in both the private and public sector.

This is another example of MatchMove’s and BRI’s on-going commitment to innovation and financial inclusion. MatchMove has already identified significant demand for its capabilities that it has developed with BRI. This demand is a combination of existing MatchMove customers wanting to expand to Indonesia, as well as many local Indonesian firms looking for an embedded finance solution to accelerate their digital visions.

Commenting on the launch of the new service, Shailesh Naik, Founder and Group CEO of MatchMove said, “MatchMove is committed to improving digital financial inclusion across Indonesia as well as enabling SMEs to rapidly digitise their businesses. This is yet another example of MatchMove leading the way towards the future of embedded and inclusive finance.”

Together, MatchMove and BRI are enabling financial innovation at scale for all Indonesians. This partnership opens another chapter in MatchMove's mission to connect all people in South & South East Asia with the financial products and services they need.
