DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan encouraged MSME players to take classes in the Merdeka Online Shopping event. One of them is by providing non-cash QRIS Jakpreneur payments. QRIS Jakpreneur is the same as QRIS in general, but can integrate MSME sales transactions with direct monitoring from the DKI Jakarta Small and Medium Enterprises Cooperative Trade Industry Office (PPKUKM), assistance, and empowerment that is more targeted. QRIS Jakpreneur collaborates with the payment system platform, Netzme Kreasi Indonesia (Netzme). "I hope this collaboration and event can continue to grow and touch more micro and ultra-micro businesses, because almost 95% of business actors in Jakarta are micro and ultra-micro businesses. I am sure that with the spirit of innovation and service owned by the PPKUKM Office and the support of grounded experience owned by working partners (Netzme) will be able to create positive things for the people of Jakarta," said Anies as quoted from Instagram Netzme, Tuesday (23/8). Head of the Industry, Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises (PPKUKM) DKI Jakarta Province, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo, said that the Jakpreneur QRIS is part of the further implementation of the entrepreneurship program. The goal is for MSME business actors to be successful by utilizing the QRIS payment system technology, the result of collaboration with Netzme. According to him, QRIS Jakpreneur not only provides a non-cash payment system facility that is fast, easy, cheap, safe and reliable for all Jakpreneur MSMEs who can already use it, but also allows the PPKUKM Office to directly (real-time) carry out more accuracy of monitoring and measurable on the development of the performance of each MSME from various entrepreneurship development programs that have been running and in the future.
"This Jakpreneur QRIS will soon be fully and directly integrated with the Jakpreneur platform which was previously developed by the PPKUKM Service, and has already overseen more than 324,000 Jakpreneur SMEs from all over DKI Jakarta," he explained. Meanwhile, CEO of Netzme, Vicky G. Saputra, hopes that the entrepreneurship program by utilizing the Jakpreneur QRIS payment system can encourage MSME players to enter the digital sector. In addition, this collaboration is also a form of support for the efforts of Bank Indonesia, the government, and the local government in increasing financial inclusion and literacy and digital literacy for the community, especially MSMEs, in line with Netzme's active participation in the 2022 National QRIS Week. "Through a community-based payment application with a variety of services to access financial services and various creative micro-entrepreneurship development features owned by Netzme, we are optimistic that the goals that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government wants to achieve can be realized," he added.
