Nium and Artajasa augment cross-border payments in Indonesia

Nium announced it will sign a partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Artajasa, one of Indonesia’s payment infrastructure companies. Artajasa operates the switching services banks and fintechs use to facilitate fast, secure, and reliable electronic transactions. The partnership will ensure seamless, real-time, cross-border transfers between Indonesia and the world.

Nium’s activity in Asia Pacific

Since 2023, Nium has expanded significantly in Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. One of it’s latest partners is Jeonbuk Bank in Korea, who has gone live with its real-time remittance service, enabling the bank to serve a growing number of immigrant clients better.

In Thailand, Nium has been seen as a standard for cross-border payments. Its platform powers four of the country's premier banks: Kasikorn Bank, Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya), Krungthai Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank. These partnerships further underscore the company’s commitment to delivering innovative financial services and fostering long-term relationships with key industry players.

Officials from Artajasa said that as an institution that has experience in providing solutions for various digital payment services in Indonesia, they welcome the strategic collaboration established with Nium to expand cross-border payments, while encouraging digital penetration in Indonesia, regionally, and globally. This collaboration will further strengthen their commitment to providing integrated, easy, and secure payment solutions for customer’s needs.

In addition to growth in the region, Nium recently launched a new data-backed white paper that addresses cross-border B2B payment challenges in APAC, current initiatives, and the important role of intermediaries, alongside Asian payments, banking, and capital markets research company Kapronasia.
