Today, Allah, I feel almost overwhelmed by the situations I have been facing until now. I hope that You can grant me strength and make all my affairs easier. Aamiin Ya Rabb

QRIS vs Visa/MasterCard: Asserting Indonesia’s Sovereignty in the National Payment System

Image
Recently, Indonesia's national payment systems—QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) and GPN (Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional)—have come under renewed international scrutiny.
