nline payment service provider PT Nusa Satu Inti Artha (DOKU) says it is optimistic that the online transaction payments it manages will rise by 40 percent this year.
DOKU says that the growth of its business is supported by flourishing online transactions in Indonesia.
DOKU chief executive officer, Thong Sennelius, said the company managed Rp 5 trillion (US$ 425 million) throughout 2013 and this figure was expected to rise to Rp 7 trillion by the end of 2014.
"We are optimistic of reaching the target because we have managed Rp 3.1 trillion in transactions in the first semester of this year," Thong said, as quoted by kontan.co.id on Thursday.
He said that the significant rise in payments they managed was triggered by the company's range of products, such as DOKU Wallet and DOKU My Short Cart, which were launched last year.
DOKU Wallet is a pre-paid online service system offered by teaming up with state-owned lender PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) to guarantee the safety of consumers' online payments.
Through this product, consumers have an e-money account which can be used to pay online shopping transactions at more than 2,000 merchants collaborating with DOKU.
Meanwhile, the DOKU My Short Cart is aimed at facilitating online merchants who previously sold their products via social media. Thus, this system facilitates safe online payments to small and medium enterprises. (nfo)
