Payment system digitalization is also supported by QRIS extensification as the national standard for QR Payments in various digital economic and financial transactions. QRIS expansion has been realized  through a massive national campaign to onboard 12 million connected merchants using QRIS in the national ecosystem by the end of 2021.
Bank Indonesia used several incentives, such as extending the 0% merchant discount rate (MDR) for micro businesses until 31stDecember 2021, as well as increasing the QRIS transaction limit from Rp2 million per transaction to Rp5 million per transaction to increase QRIS transactions in the middle segment, since 1stMay 2021.
