GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago Offers Convenience and Peace of Mind
Jakarta, 5 December 2023 – GoPay and Bank Jago today launched GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago, a day-to-day transaction account that adheres to Shariah principles based on the Wadiah Yad Dhamanah (safe custody based on trust) covenant.
GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago offers users convenience and peace of mind when conducting a wide range of transactions on the GoPay app. GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago is aimed at a wide user base, especially those who prefer access to sharia financial services, ultimately helping to drive sharia-based financial inclusion in Indonesia.
Kiki Apriyani, Head of Marketing Money Management at GoPay, shared how the features on the GoPay app are becoming even more robust with the introduction of Sharia-based services.
"After the successful launch of the GoPay app in July 2023, we continue to innovate with new financial offerings, including GoPay Tabungan by Jago in October 2023. Today, we are introducing GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago, an innovative sharia-compliant day-to-day transaction account accessible by all Indonesians. Opening an account for GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago is straightforward and quick, taking less than 2 minutes to complete through the GoPay or Gojek app," said Kiki.
Kiki added that GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago also supports the growth of Sharia-based finance in Indonesia.
"Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population, with 2022 statistics showing that 241.7 million people or about 87.02% of the total population are Muslim1. Yet, according to OJK data, as of July 2023, sharia-based finance in Indonesia makes up only 7.16% of the total national financial assets2, resulting in a sharia financial inclusion index of only 12.1% in 20223. The potential of this market is substantial," said Kiki.
The sharia economy in Indonesia continues to grow. OJK data shows that total bank and non-bank sharia assets per July 2023 are at Rp949.06 trillion, an increase of 12.3% compared to the same period in 2022 when the total was Rp832.31 trillion.4
GoPay Tabungan Syariah by Jago reflects the joint commitment of GoPay and Bank Jago to provide sharia financial products and services with innovations and features that are on par with conventional financial products and services.
