"This collaboration is our effort to provide added value for service users, especially in transacting through the expansion of various alternative payment methods networks so that in the future it is hoped that it will be able to simplify the payment transaction process," said Ade.

PayLater akulaku is present as a brand that provides BNPL service solutions to allow users to transact using credit limits on various e-commerce platforms.

The BNPL solution presented by Akulaku PayLater consistently opens access to digital financial services to the consumer segment, which has limited credit history and was previously not served by formal financial services.

PayLater's behavior is under the control of PT Akulaku Finance Indonesia which is registered and supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
