Q & A

  • What is Chris, and how is it transforming the way Indonesians handle money?

    -Chris is Indonesia's standard Quick Response (QR) code system, launched by Bank Indonesia in 2019. It aims to unify and simplify digital payments by offering a single QR code standard that works across all banks and e-wallets. This has transformed money handling by reducing friction and confusion, enabling cashless payments across the country without the need for complex equipment or high fees.

  • Why is Chris considered a 'revolution' in Indonesia's financial system?

    -Chris is considered a revolution because it democratized cashless payments for millions of Indonesians, including small businesses and street vendors, who previously lacked access to expensive payment systems. It removed the need for costly Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machines, fees, and complicated onboarding, enabling wider participation in the formal financial system.

  • How does Chris differ from global payment systems like Visa and Mastercard?

    -Unlike Visa and Mastercard, which charge high fees and rely on intermediaries for every transaction, Chris operates as a direct peer-to-peer system. It reduces reliance on foreign providers and allows local businesses to accept payments without the need for foreign infrastructure or intermediaries, prioritizing local economic inclusion over global profit extraction.

  • What complaints have been raised by the US about Chris, and why?

    -The US has raised concerns about Chris being a 'barrier to market access' and a threat to fair competition. The complaint stems from the fact that Chris reduces reliance on Visa and Mastercard, which are major American financial giants. The US Trade Representative's report suggests that the system limits the market share of foreign providers and could be a reason for the imposition of tariffs on Indonesian exports.

  • How does Chris contribute to economic inclusion in Indonesia?

    -Chris enables small businesses, particularly micro-merchants, to accept digital payments for the first time without the need for expensive infrastructure. This provides millions of Indonesians with access to the formal financial system, promoting economic inclusion and helping to bring people into the broader economy.

  • What other countries have implemented similar systems to Chris?

    -Other countries that have implemented similar national digital payment systems include India with UPI (Unified Payments Interface), Brazil with PIX, and others like Vietnam, South Korea, and China. These systems prioritize local needs and efficiency, challenging global financial platforms.

  • Why does the US see the rise of local payment systems like Chris as a problem?

    -The US sees the rise of local payment systems as a problem because it threatens the dominance of American financial platforms like Visa and Mastercard. These platforms rely on taking a fee from every transaction globally. As countries like Indonesia build independent systems, it reduces the need for American intermediaries and undermines the business model of these giants.

  • What are some of the flaws of the Chris system mentioned in the script?

    -The Chris system has some flaws, including difficulties in registration for merchants, issues with signal coverage in offline areas, inconsistent refund processes, and varying interpretations by different apps. However, these are seen as bugs rather than design flaws and are being addressed more quickly than the issues facing legacy systems.

  • How does Chris benefit Indonesia's financial independence?

    -Chris enhances Indonesia's financial independence by enabling the country to create and manage its own digital payment system, reducing dependence on global financial giants. This empowers Indonesia to design solutions tailored to its unique needs, promoting sovereignty and economic fairness.

  • Why should Indonesia not compromise on its QR code system, according to the speaker?

    -The speaker argues that Indonesia should not compromise on Chris because it has been highly successful in promoting economic inclusion and financial independence. Giving in to foreign pressure to alter the system would undermine these achievements and could lead to a loss of control over the country's own financial infrastructure.
