Vincent Iswaratioso Indonesia Director & Co-Founder, Indomog When your wallet is offline, the online world can feel out of reach. Indomog tackles this problem head-on for thousands of Indonesian consumers, allowing them to pay for online transactions at over 100,000 cash-collection points throughout the country, and by providing an expansive payment network for online retailers and businesses. Indomog has begun to harness a market of tremendous potential: 80% of Indonesia's population of 240 million do not have bank accounts and 98% do not own credit cards, yet 55 million use the internet and this figure is growing at 30% per year. Through its services, Indomog is able to connect its clients to Indonesia's largely cash-centric population through payment methods by which consumers can pay for online transactions: web point-of-sale (POS), bank service, credit card, retail store, and mobile agent.
