Meanwhile, BRI also recorded a fantastic growth in digital transactions. The value of digital transactions that occur through the BRIMo application has exceeded 409.29 million transactions per March 2021 or skyrocketed 402.6 percent compared to the same period last year.

Therefore, every business must be able to facilitate various online payment methods to help consumers do the digital transactions. BRI as the number one bank in Indonesia can help your business accelerate the process by providing various online payment features through BRIAPI.

What is BRIAPI?

BRIAPI is an Application Programming Interface (API) developed by BRI that allows integration between third-party applications and BRI services.

BRIAPI has been used by 200 partners in various industries such as government agencies, marketplaces, educational institutions to ride-hailing and fintech companies to collaborate with BRI to provide secure and simple digital payment solutions. With BRIAPI, you can provide the following online payment features:

1. BRIVA

BRIVA or BRI Virtual Account is an online payment service that uses a virtual account number. The virtual account service can provide convenience and comfort for consumers because consumers do not need to enter the transaction nominal as in other payment methods. This can minimize the occurrence of transaction errors such as overpayment or underpayment.

BRIVA’s transaction can also be automatically confirmed. This convenience certainly makes the transaction process simpler and shorter. As a business owner, you can also check transaction history in real time.

Business consumers will also get convenience when making payment. Consumers can pay to BRIVA account numbers through various channels, ranging from ATMs, internet banking, mobile banking, or payments via tellers and bank agents.
