JAKARTA - Coinciding with the moment of the 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia, the 2024 PQN series presents various unique and interesting activities such as education and interactive talk shows, QRIS MSME exhibitions, interactive quizzes on social media, urban tourism digital attractions, regional dance special performance and strengthening digitalization in social assistance programs.

The opening of this campaign was carried out at the Pegangsaan Dua LRT Station, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, at the Pandora Artmile Festival 2024. This festival was held by the Pandora Box in collaboration with the YUKK Payment Gateway. This festival takes place from July 5 - August 18, 2024.

This festival is not the first held by the Pandora Box in collaboration with the YUKK Payment Gateway. Since 2022, YUKK Payment Gateway has been involved in several festivals held by the Pandora Box, both in Jakarta and outside Jakarta. YUKK Payment Gateway provides QRIS to make it easier for visitors to buy tickets and shop at festival areas.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Bank Indonesia (BI) Representative Office (KPw), Arlyana Abubakar in his opening speech said, QRIS has become a game changer in encouraging changes in people's behavior in using non-cash payment tools.

"It is recorded that the volume of QRIS transactions in Jakarta has reached 796.9 million (growing 173 percent yoy) until June 2024," he said, in a written statement, Tuesday, August 13.

Utilization of technology infrastructure and optimization of Jakarta's digital human resources is the key to success in encouraging the acceleration of digitalization in potential sectors, including food and drink accommodation, tourist destinations and transportation.

As one of the payment gateways in Indonesia, YUKK certainly strongly supports the 2024 PQN Campaign which will take place from August 12-18, 2024.

"PQN 2024 is a good campaign. Bank Indonesia continues to make various efforts to invite people to use QRIS. Because we have to admit that QRIS is the safest, fastest, and easiest payment method. And we, PT Yukk Kreasi Indonesia, support Bank Indonesia's steps by providing QRIS in various events. One of them is in an event held by Pandora Box," said Ngo Agustino, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder of PT Yukk Kreasi Indonesia, at the opening of the PQN 2024 campaign at the LRT Pegangsaan Dua Station, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, last Monday 12 August.

Ngo Agustino assessed that the campaign held by Bank Indonesia DKI Jakarta will further make the public, both MSME players and consumers, make QRIS the main choice in transactions.

"With the PQN which takes place every year, we hope that this campaign can make QRIS more popular, resulting in an increase in transactions with QRIS," said Ngo Agustino.
