Following the issuance of Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 22/23/PBI/2020 on Payment Systems (“Payment Systems Regulation”) on 30 December 2020 which came into force on 1 July 2021 that serves as an “umbrella” regulation that provides a regulatory framework for the Indonesian payment systems industry, this advisory discusses what follows the Payment Systems Regulation, that is one of the two newly issued implementing regulations of the Payment Systems Regulation, ie. Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 23/6/PBI/2021 on Payment Services Providers (Penyedia Jasa Pembayaran ─ “PJP”) which was issued and came into force on 1 July 2021 (“PBI PJP”).
