JAKARTA - Holidays can still be exciting without making your wallet "boncos", as long as you are smart in managing your expenses from the start. Starting from limiting the daily budget, choosing an efficient payment method, to taking advantage of the available promos, all can help you enjoy the holiday moments without worrying about the cost swelling.

ShopeePay Indonesia President Director, Eka Nilam Dari, said the holiday season is synonymous with increased transaction activity.

"During the long holiday, we see that transaction activity tends to increase in line with the increasingly diverse needs of users. Through the various features we present, we want to help users transact more practically and efficiently, so that they can focus on enjoying the holiday moments more comfortably and managed," he said.

So that the holiday is still economical and comfortable, here are some tips that can be applied:

1. Take advantage of transactions without additional costs

Use the money transfer service without admin fees to various banks and other digital wallets such as DANA, OVO, and GoPay. In addition, free balance top-ups and cash withdrawals without admin fees can also be used to save expenses during travel.

2. Use QRIS payment to get promo

When eating or shopping, take advantage of QRIS payments that often offer attractive promotions at various merchants. This way can help reduce daily expenses during the holidays.

3. Use the joint feature so it's not complicated

Holidays with friends or family often involve many joint payments. The split bill feature can be a practical solution to dividing bills without having to count manually, making it more transparent and efficient.

Through proper planning and utilizing the available transaction features, holidays do not have to be synonymous with large expenses. You can still enjoy exciting moments without sacrificing your financial condition.
