SAMPLE 3 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:

  1. 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
  2. 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:
  3. 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
  4. 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:

  1. 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
  2. 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

Page 1 of 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CIRCULAR LETTER OF BANK INDONESIA NUMBER 15/23/DASP DATED 27 JUNE 2013 CONCERNING PROVISION OF FUNDS TRANSFERS

  1. 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.
  2. 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:
  1. Documents pertaining to incorporation and financial condition;
  2. Documents pertaining to operational readiness; and
  3. The requirement for the Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners or Supervisors to possess high integrity.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  1. 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.
