About this event

Since we released our Fintech in Indonesia report in 2019, many people have shared their insights about the industry with us. Whilst fintech lending has been one of the fastest growing fintech business in the last few years, we observed that digital banking was starting to take off in 2019. Acceleration of digital banking in 2020 was opportune, strategic, and very well-timed.

In our ”Momentum Works Rise of Digital Banks in Indonesia” report, released in April 2021, we share our perspectives on the opportunities, development, regulations, competitive landscape and key dimensions to winning (and more importantly – retaining) consumers.

Below are some key insights from the report:

1. Traditional banks with online banking are not digital banks.

Event image

There are three types of “Online banking” services: Traditional banking with online features, pseudo digital bank and digital bank. We make it clearer in the report the difference between these 3 types of banks.

2. Indonesia digital bank app downloads grew 7% in 2020, but new players strike hard and fast, at 2-5x growth.

Event image

Newer players like OCBC Nyala and UOB TMRW are emerging strong and fast, at 2-5x of 2019. UOB TMRW in particular, on aggressive growth due to its strong appeals to the younger generation, through unique gamification features (i.e.: You can watch your virtual city grow as you save).

One interesting observation was that current digital bank penetration remains among the more tech-savvy banking population, and that many Indonesia digital bank users tend to download multiple digital bank applications and explore around. Whether these users would stay would be another question.

3. We estimated that there were 3 million new users in 2020, led by Jenius. Deep-pocketed players have joined the fray.

Event image

To understand competitive landscape of digital bank in Indonesia, we observed that there are three types of players, with different expertise, motivations and resources:

(a) Local commercial / rural banks (Bank Danamon, Permata Bank, Bank BTPN) know the local banking scene; want to get their feet into the game and leapfrog other conventional banks peers before disruption happens.

(b) Regional banks (OCBC, UOB, DBS) have trusted, established brands; look to apply regional capabilities and grow in Indonesia.

(c) Tech / Fintech players (Sea Group, Gojek, Akulaku) have customer base, merchant networks and data capabilities; look for additional pillar to strengthen their ecosystem play.

4. When choosing digital bank, consumers in Indonesia weigh products’ friendliness, price, features and customer service

Event image

Often, managing both high velocity growth and capabilities expansion in these key dimensions is a challenging balancing act. Case in point, we hear first-hand users and avid supporters of Jenius leaving the service as the product does not seem to be able to cope with the rapid growth, with user experience deteriorating over time (i.e: extremely slow to load).

Digital banks will need to prioritise value propositions that serve actual customer needs without being distracted by the noise in the market.
