QRIS, the amazingly handy payment system, has expanded again

https://www.voanews.com/a/indonesia-exp … 39240.html

The expanded payment system employs QR codes. Although it is primarily aimed at developing regional interconnectivity with other Southeast Asian nations, it plays into Indonesia’s effort to attract Chinese tourists. The central Bank Indonesia is expanding its QR payment system to include Chinese banks as well as banks in Japan and South Korea, two other tourist sources.

Handy for tourists visiting Indonesia, but pretty good news for Indonesians and expats as well.

At the rate this system is going, many expats may never need to open a local bank account.
