Telkomsel launches mobile wallet

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post): Indonesia's largest cellular provider PT Telkomsel Selular (Telkomsel) on Tuesday launched the first mobile wallet facility in the country, called T-Cash.

President director Kiskenda Suriahardja said in a ceremony the facility could be used by T-Cash subscribers whether they were Telkomsel customers or not, as an exchange tool to purchase goods or pay for services at selected merchants by sending an SMS to 2828 or showing a T-Cash card.

"We have invested some Rp 50 billion (US$53.30 million) in the establishment of the T-Cash facility," Kiskenda added.

He said T-Cash was the extension of his company's mobile banking program which offered banking services such as money transfers, deposit checks, bill payments and changes to personal identity numbers (PIN) via a banking menu on a cellular phone.(JP/nkn)
