Huawei Cloud Indonesia and AFPI Jointly Hosted FinTech Summit 2023 in Jakarta, Accelerating Digital Financial Inclusion in Indonesia and Unlocking New Growth in FinTech

JAKARTA, Indonesia, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Cloud and the Indonesian Joint Funding Fintech Association, or Asosiasi Fintech Pendanaan Bersama Indonesia (AFPI), jointly hosted the Huawei Cloud Indonesia FinTech Summit themed "Unlocking New Growth in FinTech with Huawei Cloud". More than 80 representatives from Indonesian FinTech companies, partners, regulators, and banks attended the summit to discuss ways to advance digital financial inclusion in Indonesia.

At the summit, Huawei Cloud, the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (or OJK, Indonesia's Financial Services Authority), and dozens of companies jointly announced the Indonesia Digital Finance Innovation Program, and its mission to jointly explore and incubate new digital finance solutions and services, strengthen cooperation with FinTech companies, support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and build a robust digital finance ecosystem in Indonesia.

James Zhang,CEO of Huawei Cloud Indonesia, gave a speech and pointed out that "Huawei Cloud aims to be the leader of the new cloud generation. Building a solid cloud foundation is a key initiative to achieve our vision. We intend to become a powerful contributor to Indonesia's digital transformation through our local datacenter, local services, and local ecosystem."

Bambang W. Budiawan, Deputy Commissioner for Supervision of Financing Institutions and Other Financial Services Institutions, said: "OJK aims to achieve a 90% financial inclusion index in Indonesia, and building a digital financial inclusion ecosystem is the most effective way to do that. We are pleased to see leading technology companies like Huawei participating in digital finance innovation in Indonesia."

"A crucial element of a financial institution's mitigation of risk from a cloud provider is a comprehensive risk management and oversight program. The robustness of the cloud provider's risk management and oversight program includes due diligence and monitoring, evaluation of performance metrics, security, risk controls, and disaster recovery plans," he added.

Mr. Satwika Daksawardhana, Vice President of BNC, Indonesia's largest digital bank, said: "The strategy of BNC is to work with diverse partners to serve diverse customers. But this strategy might risk security, which in turn slows down iteration and leads to inflexible technology architecture. Fortunately, BNC has a reliable partner, Huawei Cloud, who makes sure that everything happens smoothly."

He said, "Huawei Cloud has many years of experience serving customers from the financial sector all over the world.
