Alchemy Pay, a cryptocurrency payment gateway and PT Berkah Digital Pembayaran, a fin-tech firm, have obtained a joint license in Indonesia to provide cost-effective remittance services for users of digital currencies.Â
As a result of the partnership, customers will be able to transfer funds using digital currencies at lower fees compared to traditional remittance methods. This move by Alchemy Pay is expected to facilitate the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Indonesia, which is currently the largest economy in Southeast Asia.

Alchemy Pay is best known for its B2B crypto payment platform, which provides local and cross-border remittance services to retail and corporate clients.
