Midtrans, a leading payment gateway service provider in Indonesia, has announced a strategic partnership with tiket.com to enhance transaction convenience and security during the upcoming Lebaran holiday season. This collaboration aims to accommodate the surge in travel demand as people prepare for the annual homecoming tradition.

Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of tiket.com, Dimas Surya Yaputra, highlighted the importance of smooth transactions during peak travel seasons. “We understand that ahead of the Eid holidays, the spike in travel demand can be challenging for the public, especially in ensuring seamless transactions,” Dimas said in a statement on Friday in Jakarta.

Through this partnership, Midtrans supports tiket.com by offering a variety of secure and user-friendly payment methods. These include digital wallet options like GoPay, QRIS, and even over-the-counter payments at Indomaret retail stores.

The service covers various tiket.com products, such as transportation tickets, accommodation bookings, and a range of holiday packages. This collaboration is expected to simplify the payment process for customers planning their trips well in advance.

Dimas emphasized that providing diverse payment options allows customers to plan their travel without the hassle of transaction issues. “With more payment choices, we want to ensure our customers can prepare their trips early and enjoy smooth, secure payments,” he added.

Boan Sianipar, Head of Online Payments at Midtrans, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, saying, “We are proud to be tiket.com’s partner in delivering secure and easy payment solutions. We hope this collaboration makes holiday planning more enjoyable, starting from booking to seamless payment on tiket.com.”

He further stressed the importance of a reliable payment system during peak seasons like Lebaran, ensuring that transactions run smoothly despite high demand.

The strategic partnership between Midtrans and tiket.com marks a significant step in driving innovation in digital payments and travel services. This collaboration reflects a broader trend of digital transformation in Indonesia’s financial ecosystem.

Bank Indonesia has noted that Millennials and Gen Z are now the primary drivers of the economy. According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), these two generations make up 53.8% of Indonesia’s total population, a crucial factor in boosting the adoption of digital payments.

Research by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company in the e-Conomy SEA Report also highlights the steady growth of Indonesia’s digital economy. Digital payments currently account for more than 50% of total transaction value in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia emerging as one of the key markets in the region.

By combining Midtrans’ advanced payment technology with tiket.com’s extensive reach in the travel industry, the partnership is expected to improve operational efficiency and offer a more convenient, secure digital payment experience for the public.
