    "excerpt": "Indonesia has been one of the most supportive countries in Southeast Asia when it comes to the rise of digital banking. In 2016, the Jenius banking app was launched by Bank BTPN (later acquired by SMBC). It was one of Indonesia\u2019s first large-scale digital banking apps, and grew very quickly. This coincided with a tech sector boom the government was keen to support, and financial services authority OJK quickly passed a regulation in 2018 allowing more commercial banks to provide digital banking services. This was followed by a 2021 regulation governing the launch of fully digital banks, which are standalone digital platforms rather than an offshoot of existing commercial banks.",
