The embedded finance market in Indonesia is expected to grow by 11.3% on an annual basis to reach US$8.82 billion by 2025. The embedded finance market in the country has experienced robust growth during 2021-2025, achieving a CAGR of 15.7%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2026 to 2030. By the end of 2030, the embedded finance market is projected to expand from its 2024 value of US$7.93 billion to approximately US$12.03 billion.
The embedded finance landscape in Indonesia is being shaped by rapid digital adoption, underserved financial segments, and platform-driven innovation. E-commerce and super apps are driving early consumer-facing use cases, while banks are increasingly embedding through API partnerships. Meanwhile, Islamic finance and SME-focused models are emerging as growth frontiers. Over the next 2-4 years, these trends are expected to deepen, diversify, and create new competitive contours, with policy shifts and data infrastructure playing a critical enabling role.
Indonesia’s embedded finance landscape is transitioning from experimentation to mainstream adoption, with intense competition across super apps, fintech lenders, and digital banks. Partnerships are the primary growth mechanism, with embedded APIs and open finance frameworks enabling broader access. Regulatory changes particularly around credit licensing, KYC, and data governance are playing a critical role in shaping competitive boundaries. Over the next few years, embedded finance in Indonesia is likely to evolve through infrastructure alliances, segment specialization, and compliance-led differentiation, rather than consolidation.
Competitive activity is intensifying as tech platforms, fintechs, and banks converge on embedded finance
- Indonesia’s embedded finance market is witnessing increased competition across consumer and SME verticals, driven by large platform ecosystems, licensed fintechs, and digitally progressive banks. E-commerce firms, ride-hailing super apps, and SaaS providers are embedding financial services into core user journeys, directly competing with standalone fintechs and digital banks.
- Platforms like Shopee, Grab, and Gojek are monetizing high-frequency user activity through embedded credit and payments. Meanwhile, banks like Bank Jago and BCA Digital are pushing API-led partnerships to maintain relevance. The overlap in target segments especially underbanked consumers and MSMEs is intensifying customer acquisition battles.
- The competitive landscape is expected to remain fragmented, with cross-sector collaboration rather than consolidation defining the next phase. BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) and embedded insurance partnerships will be key battlegrounds as margins tighten and differentiation moves to user experience and data depth.
Key platforms such as Gojek, Grab, and Shopee are shaping the embedded finance ecosystem
- Super apps like Gojek and Grab have evolved into financial ecosystems. Gojek, through its GoPay product and GoFin arm, offers loans, insurance, and pay-later options. Grab, via GrabFin, provides embedded lending and insurance for drivers, merchants, and consumers. Shopee (Sea Group) runs SPayLater and SeaBank, integrating embedded credit within its marketplace.
- Akulaku, Kredivo, and Investree are expanding through embedded partnerships with e-commerce and lifestyle platforms. Bank Jago’s collaboration with Gojek offers seamless financial integration, while BCA Digital’s blu and SeaBank are building ecosystem-led embedded propositions.
- Recent market entrants include Flip and Pluang, both of which are embedding wealth and payment features in B2C and SME-focused apps. Sharia-focused digital banks like Bank Aladin are also exploring embedded use cases in halal commerce and micro-lending.
Ride-hailing and delivery platforms are scaling embedded financial products for drivers and merchants
- Super apps like Gojek and Grab have evolved from mobility platforms to full-scale embedded finance ecosystems. Gojek, through its GoPay wallet and partnerships with financial institutions, now offers personal loans, insurance, and investment products to drivers and small businesses. Grab has taken a similar route with GrabFin, targeting MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises).
- Informal sector workers and gig economy participants remain underbanked, yet exhibit high digital activity via these apps. These platforms serve as both distribution channels and data aggregators, enabling personalized credit scoring and risk-based pricing models. Government support for MSME digitization also complements this evolution.
- The ecosystem is expected to further expand into asset financing, savings-linked insurance, and real-time working capital disbursals. The embedded finance layer within super apps is likely to become a central tool in driving financial inclusion for the informal workforce.
Banks and insurers are embedding offerings through APIs and third-party platforms
- Traditional financial institutions in Indonesia are shifting from product-centric models to ecosystem-led distribution by embedding financial services via APIs into third-party platforms. BCA Digital and Bank Jago have been early adopters of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) models, enabling fintechs and non-financial platforms to offer white-labeled or co-branded financial services.
- This shift is driven by customer acquisition cost pressures and the need to reach digitally native consumers who interact more with commerce, mobility, and gig platforms than with bank branches. Open banking reforms and increased investment in API infrastructure have also accelerated this transition.
- Embedded banking is expected to move beyond payment and credit to include savings products, investment offerings, and contextual insurance. Growth will depend on how quickly incumbent banks adapt their legacy systems and regulatory clarity around data sharing.
Islamic finance is emerging as a differentiated embedded finance use case
- Sharia-compliant embedded finance models are gaining traction, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities where demand for Islamic financial products is higher. Fintechs such as ALAMI and Bank Aladin Syariah are exploring embedded partnerships with retailers and halal commerce platforms to offer sharia-based micro-lending and savings products.
- Indonesia has the largest Muslim population globally, and consumer trust in sharia-based models remains high. The push for halal ecosystem digitization led by state-backed programs and initiatives like Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) is creating opportunities for embedded Islamic finance.
- This trend is expected to stabilize and expand selectively within halal marketplaces, educational platforms, and local cooperatives. Regulatory frameworks supporting sharia-compliant digital finance will influence the pace of adoption.
Embedded finance is gaining momentum in the B2B and SME segments
- Embedded financial services are increasingly targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially in trade financing, invoice insurance, and real-time credit lines. Platforms like BukuWarung and Mekari are embedding financial tools into their accounting and ERP software to streamline access to finance.
- SMEs form 99% of businesses in Indonesia but face persistent financing gaps due to lack of formal credit history and collateral. Digitally native software providers are embedding financial solutions directly into operational tools used by these businesses, improving underwriting through transaction-level data.
- This trend is expected to scale with the digitalization of SME operations and partnerships between SaaS providers and digital banks. Supply chain financing and pay-per-use credit models may become more prominent in manufacturing, retail, and logistics sectors.
Regulatory clarity around digital banking and fintech licensing is shaping competitive permissions
- Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) have clarified guidelines for digital banks and embedded lending models. The OJK’s 2023-2024 roadmap introduced stricter criteria for fintech lenders and required integration with credit bureaus, affecting smaller players’ ability to embed lending solutions.
- The OJK’s limitation on maximum loan sizes for BNPL players and increased monitoring of interest rates and repayment periods have impacted aggressive growth strategies. Platforms embedding finance must now ensure credit compliance and enhanced KYC (Know Your Customer) standards.
- The Indonesian government and central bank have also launched initiatives to support Open API standardization via the BI-FAST system and National Open API framework, which is expected to benefit API-enabled embedded finance players and increase interoperability.
Market evolution will be driven by specialization, infrastructure partnerships, and regulation-driven compliance
- With platform-led distribution becoming saturated, players are expected to specialize by segment Islamic embedded finance, SME working capital, or wealth embedded in retail rather than broad universal models. Niche segments such as sharia finance and cooperative-based lending are gaining traction.
- Enablers like Ayoconnect and Brick are emerging as key players offering API infrastructure to embed payments, banking, and lending services into third-party apps. These firms support non-financial platforms to scale embedded use cases without acquiring licenses.
- Over the next 2-4 years, regulatory oversight is expected to push embedded finance players toward more transparent and interoperable models. Compliance burdens may marginalize smaller players or push them into white-label partnerships with larger licensed entities, while well-capitalized firms invest in proprietary tech and underwriting engines to differentiate.
