Introduction
The retail payment system in Indonesia is complex and segmented. Therefore, Bank Indonesia has created an integrated and connected national retail payment ecosystem through the National Payment Gateway (NPG).
NPG was designed strategically to facilitate government programs, such as cashless social aid program (bansos) disbursements, person-to-government (P2G) transfers as well as toll road and transportation sector electronification, while supporting national e-commerce and increasing financial inclusion.
NPG Definition
The National Payment Gateway (NPG) is an ecosystem that connects various electronic payment or cashless transaction instruments offered by domestic banks within the payment system.
NPG Goals
NPG policy aims to:
- Create connected and convergent infrastructure for mutual use to achieve optimal interoperability.
- Expand the role of the domestic payment system industry by utilising the latest domestic infrastructure technology and innovation to provide the products and services required by the public.
- Expand the reach of retail payment system products and services in order to increase cashless transactions and financial inclusion.
- Reduce settlement risk by increasing security, customer protection and settlement at Bank Indonesia.
- Structure payment system institutions to provide standards, switching and services functions.
- Create national payment system interoperability through interconnected switching and create a more efficient, secure and reliable national payment system.
NPG Scope
The NPG covers the following domestic payment transactions:
-
Interkoneksi Switching.
-
Interkoneksi dan interoperabilitas kanal pembayaran berupa kanal ATM, electronic data captured (EDC), agen, payment gateway, dan kanal pembayaran lainnya.
-
Interoperabilitas instrumen pembayaran berupa kartu ATM dan/atau kartu debet, kartu kredit, uang elektronik, dan instrumen pembayaran lainnya.

NPG Regulations
-
Domestic Payment Transaction Processing
All domestic payment transactions must be processed through NPG. Domestic payment transactions are transactions using payment instruments issued by Issuers in Indonesia and transacted in the unitary Republic of Indonesia.
-
National Branding
National branding refers to the set of rules concerning logos, expanding national acceptance and domestic processing. Parties connected to the NPG are required to display the national logo on each payment instrument issued.
-
Price schemes
-
When setting the price scheme policy, Bank Indonesia considers a number of principles, including expanding acceptance, efficiency, competition for services and innovation; based on the cost of recovery plus a fair margin, risk management and convenience.

The NPG price schemes are as follows
