The licenses will boost the ability of the entities to payout to end-users and clients across Asia while reducing operating costs of their payment services.
PT Berkah Digital Pembayaran operates from Indonesia in the field of financial technology and is known primarily for BDPay, a solution that helps clients to transfer to multiple accounts and electronic money at a lower price than conventional methods, providing a virtual account for the top-up method.
Launched in 2021, BDPay enables personal transfers (payment acceptance) and corporate transfers (payments). It also offers clients payroll services and transfers via API.
Certified by ISO/IEC 27001:2013, it directly connects with bank APIs, making it easy to transfer to 136 banks in Indonesia. It facilitates same-day transfers and has developed support for community needs with agents distributed across Indonesia.

The Singapore-based fiat-crypto payment gateway is taking cryptocurrency accessibility to the next level with direct-to-customer services with its on & off-ramp and NFT checkout.

Driving crypto adoption in Asia

Following the announcement, Alchemy’s native token (ACH) has surged by over 7% in the last 24 hours. In addition, ACH has recorded a 250% gain over the last 30 days, according to CoinGecko data.
The rise in ACH price is closely linked to its recent support for Google Pay, which saw ACH reach a local high of $0.04.
