This Fintech dares to offer convenience, lower costs, and even higher investment returns
than incumbent banking services.
The traditional banking sector's competitiveness has morphed into a technology
battle between financial industry companies. Every sector, including banking, must speed
up the adoption of digital banking in order to compete in providing services that are simpler,
quicker, and more responsive to client requirements. Relevant regulators, including Bank
Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority, continue to push for the development of
digital banking. Electronic banking transactions are increasing year after year, according
to data from the Financial Services Authority (Probank, 2016).
The trend of bank services leading to digital banking is reflected in the expansion
of digital banking transactions, which are expected to continue. Several banks have already
developed better solutions for offering digital banking and retail payment services to
Indonesians. Companies that provide telecommunications and financial services are also
less competitive for providing ease of digital transactions. The table below summarizes the
digital financial services available in Indonesia.
Technological advancements undoubtedly create a new rivalry in the banking and
financial services industries. Banks and Fintech start-ups compete in digital banking,
followed by crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending, and others. The emergence of start-up
companies engaged in financial technology focuses on developing technology for
electronic payments as well as developing services performed by traditional banks, such as
distributing loan funds and credit to MSME entrepreneurs. This Fintech takes the risk of
providing more convenience, cheaper prices, and even larger investment returns than
traditional banking services (Linggadjaya, Sitio, & Situmorang, 2022).
Rivalry among traditional banking sector competitors has given way to technology
competition among financial industry firms. Banks can no longer ignore the presence of
digital banking because of technological competition. Every business, including the
banking industry, must expedite the deployment of digital banking in order to compete and
deliver services that are easier and faster to meet the expectations of customers. The desire
to expand digital banking remains a priority for key regulators, including Bank Indonesia
and the Financial Services Authority.
According to Financial Services Authority data, electronic banking transactions are
increasing significantly year after year. The expansion of digital banking transactions,
which is expected to continue, is consistent with the trend of bank services leading to digital
banking. Banks' financial services include not just branchless banking but also retail
payment system services to assist with cashless transactions. Several banks already have
superior products in providing digital banking and retail payment services for the people
of Indonesia.
Telecommunication and Fintech provider companies are also less competitive in
providing convenience for digital transactions. In 2020, Bank Artos turned its name to PT
Bank Jago Tbk.
Later in the same year, Gojek became a shareholder through its financial services
and digital payment business, Gopay. In 2021, GIC Private Limited will commit to
injecting funds to strengthen Jago in innovating to provide the best digital financial
solutions. With a total capital of IDR 8 trillion, Jago is a bank with significant and robust
growth and innovation opportunities. In fact, with the pandemic era, this digital trend was
speeding up (Arner, Barberis, & Buckley, 2016).
The delivery of services becomes customer front-end or bank back-end operations.
Bank Jago responded it would provide banking services according to customer needs. The
reliability of the technology will affect the dependability of all existing services. There is a
first strategy, including three initiatives of Bank Jago in trying to transform into a digital
bank.
Bank Jago has a different perspective in offering its financial services. Skilled
innovators take advantage of Bank Jago, which is supported by adaptive, innovative, and
