INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta, – TMRW by UOB today announced the launch of TMRW Pay, an e-commerce loan that enables consumers to manage their budgeting needs conveniently. TMRW Pay offers consumers the choice of deferred payment services, with zero interest for up to 90 days and instant credit approval through TMRW’s partner, Bhinneka’s website and app.
The pandemic has created a shift in consumers’ transactional habits as more of them move their purchasing activities from offline to online channels and this is expected to drive the demand for e-commerce transactions and loans. FinTech in ASEAN 2021 report, deferred payment services has emerged as a popular digital payment in the region, with one in three consumers saying they have used or will use such payment methods. In particular, Indonesian consumers expressed the highest interest in using deferred payment services (42 per cent) to take advantage of amortised payments for their online purchases.
A Berstein study also showed that consumers prefer deferred payment services due to reasons such as flexible payment schedule, better expense management, ability to avoid high fees or interest and ease of use. Deferred payment services also appeal more to younger shoppers, particularly millennials, who are looking for ways to manage their expenses more conveniently.
Mr Hendra Gunawan, President Director, UOB Indonesia, said, “TMRW by UOB continues to tap innovations, to grow its ecosystem of partners and to focus on customers’ feedback, uncovering valuable insights to provide progressive solutions. Our data shows that from January to October 2021, more than half of the transactions on TMRW credit cards were for e-commerce purchases. As e-commerce activities continue to grow, consumers are seeking alternative modes of financing to manage their budgeting needs and we anticipate that deferred payment services will become more popular. This is why we are pleased to partner Bhinneka, one of the leading e-commerce platforms in Indonesia, to offer TMRW Pay to Indonesian consumers looking for greater flexibility with their expenses.”
“We look forward to working with more like-minded partners to reach out to more consumers and to offer them easier access to credit online, given the rising adoption of smart mobile devices. We believe this will help contribute to the increase in credit penetration and the acceleration of the country’s digital economy.”
TMRW by UOB is ASEAN’s first mobile-only digital bank built for the region’s digital generation. It was named as the Best Digital Bank for Southeast Asia for the second consecutive year at the Global Retail Banking Innovation Awards 2021 by The Digital Banker.
