perpetrated in the territory of the Unitary State of the
Republic of Indonesia or outside the territory of the Unitary
State of the Republic of Indonesia and such crimes also
constitute crimes under Indonesian law.
- In essence, the processes of money laundering can be grouped
into 3 (three) stages of activity, encompassing the following:
a. Placement, i.e. placement of funds generated by a criminal
activity into the financial system. Examples of placement in
the provision of payment systems services include but are
not limited to the following:
- Deposit of funds from the proceeds of crime with a
Provider for conveyance to another party.
- Top up of Electronic Money by using the proceeds of
crime.
b. Layering is any effort to transfer assets originating from
proceeds of crime that have successfully undergone
placement into the financial system to further obscure the
origin of these assets. The following are examples of layering
in the operation of payment system services:
- Transfer of Electronic Money value originating from
proceeds of crime.
- Ordering a Provider to transfer proceeds of crime to
another party.
c. Integration is any attempt to make use of purportedly
legitimate assets, whether for immediate benefit, investment
in various material or financial assets, use in financing
legitimate business activity, or to be ploughed back into
criminal activity.
- Modes of money laundering commonly employed by money
launderers are:
a. Smurfing …
Annex to Circular Letter No. 14/38/DASP dated 28 December 2012
a. Smurfing, i.e. attempts to circumvent reporting by splitting
transactions so that they are conducted by many parties.
b. Structuring, i.e. attempts to circumvent reporting by
splitting transactions in order to reduce transaction
amounts.
c. U turns, i.e. attempts to obscure the origin of proceeds of
crime by conducting multiple transactions for subsequent
return to the original sender.
d. Cuckoo smurfing, i.e. attempts to obscure the original
source of funds by sending funds originating from proceeds
of crime through third parties waiting for inward
remittances and unaware that the funds received by them
constitute proceeds of crime.
e. Use of third parties, i.e. transactions conducted with the
use of third party identities for the purpose of avoiding
detection of the identity of the actual parties who hold the
funds from proceeds of crime.
f. Mingling, i.e. mixing funds from proceeds of crime with
funds originating from legitimate business activities with
the objective of obscuring the original source of these funds.
g. Use of false identities, i.e. transactions conducted with the
use of false identities in an attempt to impede the tracing of
identity and detection of money laundering.
B. Terrorism Financing
- Terrorism financing is the direct or indirect use of assets for
terrorism activities. In classification of crime, terrorism financing
is essentially different from Money Laundering. Nevertheless, the
two types of crime share similarities in the use of financial
services as a vehicle for committing crime.
- Unlike Money Laundering, which has the objective of disguising
the origin of assets, terrorism financing seeks to aid terrorist
activities …
Annex to Circular Letter No. 14/38/DASP dated 28 December 2012
activities, whether with assets constituting proceeds of crime or
with legitimately acquired assets.

ILLUSTRATIONS AND EXAMPLES
OF CASES OF SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS
IN NON-BANK PROVISION OF PAYMENT SYSTEM SERVICES
A. Illustrative Cases of Suspicious Transactions
- Illustrative Case of an ST in the Card-Based Payment Instrument
Industry:
Case:
Shop X, a shop selling daily household needs, has an average
daily turnover of Rp 5,000,000.00 (five million rupiahs). Over
time, Shop X submits an application for cooperation to operate
as a merchant of Acquirer A. Acquirer A grants this request and
places one of its EDCs (Electronic Data Capturer) at the Shop X
location. During the first 6 (six) months after placing the EDC,
the daily turnover of Shop X rises to Rp 8,000,000.00 (eight
million rupiahs). However, in the seventh and eight months,
average daily turnover for Shop X climbs to Rp 20,000,000.00
(twenty million rupiahs). After a review, no change or addition
could be found in the type and quantity of goods sold by Shop X.
Suspicious Indicators:
- Average daily turnover of PT X after becoming a user for
Acquirer A was Rp 8,000,000.00 (eight million rupiahs)
during a 6 (six) month period, and this increased drastically
to Rp 20,000,000.00 (twenty million rupiahs) in the seventh
and eighth months.
- From available information, there was no change/addition
in the type and capacity of goods sold by Shop X.
Elements …

Elements of ST:
The above series of transactions (daily turnover) is in departure
from the business profile of the User (Shop X).
2. Illustrative Case of ST in Operation of Electronic Money Activities
Case:
Mr Y, a citizen of Jakarta, is the holder of Electronic Money
issued by Issuer B. From the outset of his use of Electronic
Money, Mr. Y had elected to use the registered type enabling him
to hold a maximum value of Rp5,000,000.00 (five million)
rupiahs) with cash withdrawal and funds transfer facilities.
Under the Electronic Money regulations issued by Bank
Indonesia, the maximum total use of electronic money during 1
(one) month is Rp20,000,000.00 (twenty million rupiahs). During
the first 1 (one) year of use of the Electronic Money, all
transactions conducted by Mr. Y were for payment of toll road
charges in the Jakarta area, with average monthly use of
Rp500,000.00 (five hundred thousand rupiahs). In the second
year, Mr. Y made an additional purchase of 9 (nine) cards of new
registered Electronic Money. With the 10 (ten) cards of Electronic
Money held, Mr. Y conducted funds transfer and cash
withdrawal transactions in the first month of the second year
with a total value of Rp180,000,000.00 (one hundred and eighty
million rupiahs). In addition, data held by the Issuer revealed
that all cash withdrawal transactions were made with
authorisation given to different third parties in various regions of
Indonesia.
Suspicious Indicators:
- The initial use of electronic money held by Mr. Y was for
payment of toll road charges with an average use of
Rp500,000.00 (five hundred thousand rupiahs) per month.
Mr. Y then made an additional purchase of a sum of
electronic …
Annex to Circular Letter No. 14/38/DASP dated 28 December 2012
electronic money for use in funds transfer and cash
withdrawal transactions in large amounts.
- The cash withdrawals were made by different third parties
outside the Jakarta area.
Elements of ST:
The above series of transactions fulfils the element of departure
from the characteristics of the User.
- Illustrative Case of ST in the Remittances Industry
Case:
Remittance Service Provider C is a Remittance Services company
located in the Pasar Minggu area of South Jakarta. One day, a
Ms. Z comes to the company with the purpose of transferring a
sum of money overseas. The remittances that Ms. Z wishes to
make are 6 (six) transactions, each with a value of
Rp80,000,000.00 (eighty million rupiahs), bringing the total
transaction value to Rp480,000,000.00 (four hundred and eighty
million rupiahs). The transactions are in favour of 6 (six) different
companies in Hong Kong, but with addresses near each other
(same street address, differing only in the number). Furthermore,
information comes to light that Ms. Z is domiciled in the Kelapa
Gading area and works for an export-import company in Tanjung
Priok.
Suspicious Indicators:
- Transaction of relatively large value for one conducted
through the remittance service.
- Transaction in favour of different beneficiaries, but at nearby
addresses.
- Total value of transactions just below the limit of Cash
Transactions reportable to PPATK.
- The domicile and place of business of Ms Z is very far from
the place of business of Provider C.
