s cross-border businesses continue to expand across Asia, the demand for faster, more secure, and seamless payment solutions has become increasingly vital. Recognizing this, Bank DBS Indonesia continues to strengthen its role as a trusted financial partner through innovations that bridge economies and empower growth.

Bank DBS Indonesia introduced IDEAL RAPID (Real-Time Application Programming Interface), a digital solution that enables real-time and seamless payments across Asia, as remittances play a crucial role in facilitating cross-border fund flows, supporting both families and businesses.

DBS IDEAL RAPID continues to  strengthen economic connectivity and empower millions of customers.

It will also help business people who require fast, secure and efficient cross-border financial solutions, achieve successful business expansion across Asia, amid the region’s rapidly growing and interconnected economies.

According to projections by ResearchAndMarkets, the international remittance market to Indonesia is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 3 percent through 2028. Meanwhile, the World Bank forecasts that global remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries will continue to rise, reaching US$690 billion by 2025.

With this growing trend of digitalization and the strategic importance of remittances, Indonesia is well positioned to maximize the benefits for both individuals and corporations.

Within this ecosystem, Bank DBS Indonesia stands out as a trusted partner for business growth in Asia, offering innovative solutions such as the aforementioned DBS IDEAL RAPID.

According to Dandy Pandy, Head of Global Transaction Services Bank DBS Indonesia, collaboration and technological acceleration are key to becoming a leading cross-border remittance solution provider.

Beyond digital remittances, Bank DBS Indonesia continues to pioneer adaptive financial services amid dynamic market conditions. In times of global uncertainty, the bank supports clients’ business resilience through diversification strategies and innovative liquidity solutions.

To support cross-border expansion, the bank offers competitive foreign exchange rates, cash management services and integrated working capital facilities.
