CEO & Co-founder of Paper.id, Jeremy Limman said, “Our collaboration eases users on accessing digital-based business funding products, especially for convenience storesgrocery stores with small margins. Specifically, we help them maintain their cash flow smoothly by giving them additional payment terms through approachable working capital funding with a dynamic amount of disbursement based on their business needs.”

Both distributors and retailers often have plenty of technical problems. For distributors, their cash flow usually lacks control due to untimely payments from customers. On the other hand, grocery stores also have a bottleneck on paying their bills because of several limitations, for example unsold goods. The collaboration between Paper.id and Bank Jago aims to help distributors get early disbursement of funds, while on the grocery store side, they receive flexible net terms.

In addition, this collaboration is expected to support the government’s digitization effort in providing a digital economy ecosystem to create and nurture business more efficiently and effectively. Hence, the competitiveness of business actors increases simultaneously and shifts unbankable business actors into bankable through neat digital bookkeeping, in order to obtain funding from trusted financial institutions.\
