CALCULATION OF INTEREST OR COMPENSATION
A. Sample calculation of interest or compensation in the event of delay by a
Provider in executing a Funds Transfer after taking Acceptance
On 1 May 2013, the Originator presented a Funds Transfer Order to the
Provider for sending of Funds in the amount of Rp 10,000,000.00 (ten
million rupiahs). The Provider took Acceptance on the same day, but
executed the Funds Transfer Order only on 3 May 2013. Under these
conditions, the Provider has an obligation to pay interest or compensation
calculated as follows:
- If the Originator holds a deposit with the Provider earning interest at a
rate of 4% (four percent) per annum, the amount of interest or
compensation payable by the Provider is:
Rp 10,000,000.00 x 2 days x 4% x 1/365 = Rp 2,191.78
- If the Originator does not hold a deposit with the Provider, and the
overnight JIBOR interest rate is 4.2% (four point two percent), the
amount of interest or compensation payable by the Provider is:
Rp 10,000,000.00 x 2 days x 4.2% x 1/365 = Rp 2,301.37
B. Sample calculation of interest or compensation in the event of an error by
Provider in executing a Funds Transfer after taking Acceptance
On 6 May 2013, a Beneficiary Provider takes Acceptance of a Funds
Transfer Order to convey Funds in the amount of Rp 15,000,000.00 (fifteen
million rupiahs) to PT. XYZ, the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary Provider
committed an error by conveying the Funds to another party, in this case
PT. ABC. The Beneficiary Provider then corrected the error by delivering
Funds in the amount of Rp 15,000,000.00 (fifteen million rupiahs) to PT.
XYZ on 8 May 2013. Under these conditions, the Provider has an obligation
to pay interest or compensation calculated as follows:
- If the Beneficiary holds a deposit with the Provider earning interest a
rate of 5% (five percent) per annum, the amount of interest or
compensation payable by the Provider is:
Rp 15,000,000.00 x 2 days x 5% x 1/365 = Rp 4,109.59
- If the Beneficiary does not hold a deposit with the Provider, and the
overnight JIBOR interest rate is 4.2% (four point two percent), the
amount of interest payable by the Provider is:
Rp 15,000,000.00 x 2 days x 4.2% x 1/365 = Rp 3,452.05
C. Sample calculation of interest or compensation if a Provider fails to execute
a Funds Transfer after taking Acceptance
On 13 May 2013, the Originator presented a Funds Transfer Order to the
Provider for sending of Funds in the amount of Rp 20,000,000.00 (twenty
million rupiahs). The Provider took Acceptance on the same day, but did
not execute the Funds Transfer Order until the Originator presented a
cancellation and order for return of the Funds on 16 May 2013. Under
these conditions, the Provider has an obligation to pay interest or
compensation calculated as follows:
- If the Originator holds a deposit with the Provider earning interest at a
rate of 4% (four percent) per annum, the amount of interest or
compensation payable by the Provider is:
Rp 20,000,000.00 x 3 days x 4% x 1/365 = Rp 6,575.34
- If the Originator does not hold a deposit with the Provider, and the
overnight JIBOR interest rate is 4.2% (four point two percent), the
amount of interest or compensation payable by the Provider is:
Rp 20,000,000.00 x 3 days x 4.2% x 1/365 = Rp 6,904.11

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CIRCULAR LETTER OF BANK INDONESIA NUMBER 15/23/DASP DATED 27 JUNE 2013
CONCERNING PROVISION OF FUNDS TRANSFERS
- Who is required to comply with this Circular Letter of Bank Indonesia?
In principle, all Providers of Funds Transfers are required to comply with this Circular
Letter of Bank Indonesia, except in the case of a specific regulation or exception. An
example of this exception is that the requirement to obtain a licence as Funds
Transfer Provider from Bank Indonesia does not apply to banks.
- How does an Indonesia incorporated non-Bank enterprise obtain a licence as Funds
Transfer Provider?
a. Submit an application in writing for licence as Provider to Bank Indonesia.
b. Comply with the requirements for a Provider, including but not limited to:
- Documents pertaining to incorporation and financial condition;
- Documents pertaining to operational readiness; and
- The requirement for the Board of Directors and the Board of
Commissioners or Supervisors to possess high integrity.
- What are the stages in the licensing process for a Provider?
With regard to the documents submitted as part of a licence application, Bank
Indonesia shall take actions that include but are not limited to the following:
a. Conduct administrative checks of the completeness, truthfulness and
reasonableness of the documents;
b. Conduct an on-site visit to the Applicant to verify the truthfulness and
reasonableness of the submitted documents;
c. Once the administrative checks and on-site visit have been made, Bank
Indonesia shall issue a written response to the Application within a period not
exceeding 35 (thirty-five) working days commencing from the receipt of the
complete set of required documents.
- What policies and procedures must be applied in the provision of funds transfer
activities?
In providing funds transfers, it is necessary to comply with regulations encompassing
at least the following:
a. any Provider providing a system that may be used by other Providers must
comply with the principles of confidentiality of data, integrity of system and data
authentication and non-repudiation of executed transactions.
Page 2 of 2
b. Providers not providing a system must ensure the security of the database and
back-up.
c. Providers are required to provide a system and/or procedures that can provide
assurance of effective internal control and an audit trail, as well as ensure the
continuity of Funds Transfer provision.
d. Provision of incoming and/or outgoing international Funds Transfers may be
undertaken only in cooperation with providers approved by the country
authorities.
e. Providers licensed by Bank Indonesia may enter into cooperation only on a
domestic level with other Providers licensed by Bank Indonesia.
f. Any Provider cooperating with Cash Points (CPs) must furnish written
information on the plan and outcome of its cooperation with CPs.
5. What is a Cash Point (CP)?
A Cash Point (CP) is a party, whether natural person or entity, cooperating with a
Provider in provision of cash from transfer proceeds allocated in an Account in favour
of the Beneficiaries. In this case, CPs are not Providers as defined by the Funds
Transfer regulations because CPs do not undertake Acceptance activities. In a Funds
Transfer mechanism that involves CPs, the Beneficiary Provider first undertakes
Acceptance for conveying Funds to the Beneficiary by allocating or crediting Funds in
the Beneficiary Account at the Beneficiary Provider. CPs do not need to obtain a
licence from Bank Indonesia for operating as Provider, but must be reported by the
Provider with which they cooperate.
- What if anything must be done by a Provider in regard to the entry into force of this
Circular Letter of Bank Indonesia?
The tasks required of Providers are as follows:
a. submit information no later than 31 October 2013 about cooperation with
foreign providers, cooperation with providers in Indonesia, opening of branch
offices and cooperation with CPs, whether undertaken before the entry into
force of this Circular Letter of Bank Indonesia or to be undertaken in 2013; and
b. for Providers that comprise Indonesia incorporated non-bank enterprises, to
comply with the requirements stipulated in this Circular Letter of Bank
Indonesia, including but not limited to personal statements of the
directors/commissioners, proof of payment of capital, documents explaining
the financial condition and application of consumer protection principles no
later than 2 (two) years after the entry into force of this Circular Letter of Bank
Indonesia.
