In general, the payment system in Indonesia is divided into two, namely the cash payment system and the non-cash payment system.

Then in the non-cash payment system, the tools used are Card-Based Payment Instruments, bilyet giro, checks, debit notes, and the latest instruments, namely electronic money. The range of cashless payment systems is divided into two types of transactions, namely transactions with large transaction values (wholesale) and retail transactions.
