82、Exhibit 7.13 INDONESIAS FINTECH INDUSTRY IS READY TO RISEThe Indonesian Payment System Blueprint 2025 roadmap and the SNAP national standard have opened up opportunities for innovation in the open banking landscape.This has spurred the rise of several startups in the fintech space,including Brick,Ay
83、oconnect,Finantier,and Brankas,which have collectively secured over US$70 million in funding.These developments have facilitated API cooperation and improved interoperability,which is crucial for fostering collaboration between fintechs and legacy financial institutions.One of the key benefits of th
84、e SNAP standard is that it has made it easier for fintechs and legacy financial institutions to work together by standardizing API cooperation in the payment system.This has helped level the playing field for innovation,enabling startups to compete more effectively with established players in the ma
85、rket.Additionally,the fast payment system BI-FAST has also played a significant role in creating a conducive environment for innovation.Its real-time transactions and cross-border interoperability have enabled fintechs to offer innovative solutions to their customers.The Indonesian governments crypt

89、een fintechs and incumbent players.For instance,banks are now more open to partnering with fintech companies in established areas like lending,as well as emerging sectors such as cryptocurrency.Challenger banks,in particular,are actively seeking partnerships with early-stage fintech startups to gain
90、 a competitive advantage.For successful partnerships,startups must adapt their operating models to accommodate for cultural differences and working styles of established players,which may differ from those of startups.Moreover,startups may have to adjust their operating model to leverage the benefit
91、s of such partnerships.Simultaneously,incumbent players must make an effort to comprehend the imperatives and difficulties faced by startups when they seek to enter such partnerships.This approach will lead to longer-lasting and more fruitful collaborations.Overall,there exist numerous opportunities
92、 to enhance the fintech ecosystem and establish thriving partnerships across the industry.Fintechs and established players alike are displaying an increasing eagerness to engage and collaborate with one another.Looking ahead,we anticipate a growing number of such partnerships with substantial value
93、creation for both fintechs and incumbents.15 INDONESIAS FINTECH INDUSTRY IS READY TO RISEGaining a comprehensive understanding of Indonesias fintech retail customer landscape is crucial for assessing the broader ecosystem.To this end,BCG conducted an in-depth consumer survey of over 1,000 representa
94、tive respondents from Indonesia.Overall,we see digital payments as the leading vector for customer penetration in Indonesia,with almost three-quarters of respondents utilizing a fintech product.However,the broader retail market for financial services remains largely untapped for both fintechs and tr
95、aditional financial institutions,with over 60%of respondents not using any lending,wealth,deposits,or insurance products.Despite significant growth in the usage of fintech products,especially in the post-COVID landscape,there is still a significant opportunity to increase overall consumer awareness

204、cture.Collaborative approach.The collaborative approach taken by the government,regulators,banks,and fintech companies in building the UPI ecosystem was critical to its success.As Indonesia looks to build its own payment infrastructure,the government must look to work closely with banks and fintech
205、players to create a unified platform that benefits all stakeholders.Interoperability.In India,the UPI interface can be used by all banks and fintech companies,regardless of their size.This has made it easier for customers to transact seamlessly across different platforms.Indonesia can learn from thi
206、s approach and create a unified platform that allows customers to transact across different banks and fintech companies.Low-cost infrastructure.UPI has been successful in India because it is a low-cost infrastructure that can be accessed by small merchants and individuals.Focus on user experience.Th
207、e UPI interface is user-friendly and simple,making it easy for people to use.Emphasis on security.UPI was built with a focus on robust security measures,including two-factor authentication,device binding,and transaction limits.As Indonesia builds out its payment infrastructure,there must be consider
208、ation given to customer protection and fraud prevention measures as account-to-account transactions offer new opportunities for fraud.The UPI story also carries many lessons for fintech players,especially in terms of new business models and new forms of monetization.With the adoption of a unified pa
209、yment paradigm,digital wallet players have the potential to create unique value propositions for their e-wallet offerings beyond the established payments space.This can involve expanding to multi-product lines that leverage merchant networks and datasets,such as utilizing transaction data for lendin
210、g or shopping data for monetization or insurance underwriting,and using merchants as distributors for financial services.An alternative option would be for wallet players to pivot to enable account-to-account transfers,which will require operators to focus on transaction-linked lending instead of de
211、pendency on merchant-discount rates(MDRs).A unified payment paradigm is also likely to have implications for neobanks and neo-acquirers,allowing for an expanded suite of services.Neobanks could become the primary transaction account for many users,by building seamless transaction experiences with lo
212、yalty initiatives upfront.Similarly,neo-acquirers will have the opportunity to grow and enable transaction-linked financial products for merchants.In conclusion,there are several new opportunities for monetization for fintech players,and it is important for them to remain open to exploration and sei
213、zing new opportunities.As the UPI example shows,as the payment ecosystem in Indonesia matures,numerous new possibilities for value creation will arise;fintechs must remain open and seize new opportunities to create value.Learnings from Indias MSME Lending and Account Aggregator Space India offers an
214、other valuable example for Indonesias fintech evolution,with learnings from innovation done by B2B e-commerce platforms to allow SMEs to easily access working capital and bridge the supply chain financing gap.The product construct used,the tight integration with B2B marketplaces and leveraging conse
215、nt-based open data ecosystems to drive SME financial inclusion will find multiple potential parallels for Indonesia.The B2B marketplace platforms(including players such as Udaan ad OfBusiness)give out terms of payment credit lines to SMEs to help complete marketplace transactions within their ecosys
216、tem.The SME then has a specific time period e.g.,60 days to pay off the loan.The credit lines are often pitched as a zero-fee payment product,with the credit cost forming part of the transaction price,similar to the BNPL solutions often seen in the B2C space.The credit line plays the dual role of dr
217、iving transaction conversion/user retention as well as monetization.The construct is like the line of credit that suppliers would often give to their large buyers,but now,super charged through a tech enabled model that gives access to much wider base of SMEs.A critical enabler for this model has bee
218、n the account aggregator framework setup by RBI which allows SMEs to give lenders access to not just their credit histories but a wider set of financial history data points through robust consent based mechanism.This has allowed lending approval rates to improve and enable platforms/lenders to reach
219、 a critical mass of SMEs to drive financial sustainability for this product line.Early trends on collections have been positive,even if it would take a few lending cycles for lenders to adjust their credit model and arrive at a true pricing-limit fit.In Indonesia,which has also seen rapid growth in
220、B2B focused platforms,this product construct is already seeing early traction with players like AgriAku and Bukuwarung.There are three key go-forward implications for players in the ecosystemGrowth opportunity for traditional banks:Outsized opportunity for traditional banks to leverage the funding c

229、ate with existing financial institutions to improve their own service propositions e.g.,integrating with banks to do automated recon,tax filings etc.Traditional banks:Opportunity for traditional banks to leverage data from other financial platforms to deepen their understanding about customer prefer

234、ance financial inclusion.Informing and steering a future path to sustainable growth will require deep ecosystem understanding,and careful consideration of the strategic route forward to maximize value and maintain competitiveness in this rapidly evolving space.That could,and should,be guided by key
235、learnings from successful implementations around the globe.Through our comprehensive research of financial ecosystems and interventions in markets around the world,we have identified critical imperatives for fintech players,incumbent operators,and regulators.Strategic imperatives for fintech players
236、Reorient tech for monetization.Driving monetization and improved unit economics will require a very different set of technology capabilities compared to those built by fintech players for user acquisition and rapid transaction growth.These new capabilities include,but are not limited to:Strategic Im

238、rive better risk managementGet the business and product strategy right and do it early.Serving all segments with all products wont work in Indonesias hyper-competitive banking space,and neither will serving niche customer segments with low-margin products.Fintech players will need to be clear on the
239、ir target segments,value propositions,and their path to profitability from a very early stage.This will require fintech players to build out key strategic understanding:Deep understanding of market landscape,customer segmentation,revenue,and profit pools Tailored products embedded deep into existing

242、tworks and distribution models Leverage social or viral campaigns,particularly in the B2C and at-scale B2B spaces Create smart and hyper-personalized gamification to drive engagement Consider compliance and governance as a capability.It is important to build a holistic approach towards regulatory co
243、mpliance and internal governance,rather than treating it as a bolt-on or afterthought to strategic business planning.Achieving this will require a proper regulatory strategy,the right governance structure,and an appropriate suite of technology and data tools and capabilities able to safeguard custom
244、ers and company interests against both internal and external risks.Potentially enter into opportunistic M&A for talent and skillset.Specialized talent in areas such as AI,data analytics,and risk management is increasingly important to scaling and maintaining superior products.Players should consider
245、 appropriate partnerships or corporate acquisitions to keep pace with the speed of change,minimize shortage of critical positions,and ensure a strategically aligned skills and talent base.This will require a clear and robust assessment of the current talent pool,and identification of gaps where addi
246、tional talent is required.A tailored approach in pursuing M&A should be leveraged to ensure prudent target-firm assessment and a seamless post-integration journey,considering areas such as cultural fit,operational synergies,and similar.Strategic imperatives for incumbentsStrategically designed partn
247、ership models.Banks will need to shift from exploratory and ad-hoc partnerships to a more strategic approach if they are to establish the right business models for this evolving financial landscape.This must be backed by organization-wide clarity on the priority segments and areas of partnerships,as
248、 well as leading and lagging performance metrics being targeted.This strategic shift will require:Early engagement of senior leadership Building partnership strategy as part of an overall organizational roadmap Deeper understanding of the fintech unit economics and the key enablers needed Transform
249、the operating model.Banks will need to change their people and process models,internal policies,and ways of working to capture value as partnerships develop across the value chainfrom external client acquisition to internal capability builds.This will necessitate:Defining the right operating and org
250、anizational structures,for example establishing the right teams to coordinate with partners Adapting critical business processes,such as adapting risk management processes with new credit scoring tools Aligning technology enablers and embedding them into existing toolsSeize the initiative.This perio

257、policies can limit these value-adding activities.Regulators have an opportunity to estabzlish strategically designed regulatory frameworks that minimize gray areas for startups,shifting towards principle-based regulations to ensure relevance and flexibility in the fast-changing environment.Forums fo
258、r collaboration.The last few years have highlighted the need,and the benefits,of regulators and fintech players working and interacting closely to create enabling structures for new business models.Efforts should be engaged to formalize these structures,build structured forums that provide equal and
259、 open access to all players,and also empower inter-regulator collaboration to help drive effective and sustainable ecosystem growth.Open and interoperable networks.Global exemplars such as UPI,as well as local innovations like QRIS,have shown the power of open networks to transform customer experien
260、ces.With upcoming innovations like SNAP and IPI,it is essential to establish governance that enables and ensures participation across industry stakeholders while driving consumer adoption to generate critical mass.Sandboxes to enable innovation.The success of regulatory sandbox programs across devel
