What is QRIS?
QRIS stands for Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard, a unification of payment methods that can be used by Payment System Service Providers (PJSP) using a QR Code.
QRIS was first developed in Indonesia by Bank Indonesia so that the transaction process with the QR Code can be easier, faster, and safer for both buyers and sellers to use. Payment System Service Providers who will use the QR Code must use QRIS for the non-cash transaction process.
QRIS consolidates all payment applications in Indonesia, both bank and non-bank, which are used by the public. This is done so that QRIS can be used at shops, merchants, stalls, parking lots, tourist tickets, and donations that have the QRIS logo, although the applications used by buyers and sellers are different, QRIS can be used universally.
Sellers only need to create an account or an account with one of the QRIS providers who have received official permission from Bank Indonesia. Then, sellers can accept payments from the public or buyers using QR from any application.
Where does the money used to make transactions come from?
Sources of transaction funds are in the form of deposits or debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money using storage media using servers. The use of sources of funds or payment instruments is applied based on Standard Institutions approved by Bank Indonesia.
However, QRIS has its limitations. The nominal QRIS transaction can only reach Rp. 10,000,000.00 per transaction. The QRIS provider can set a daily or monthly cumulative nominal limit for QRIS transactions made by each user.

The main requirements are qualified systems and applications, the ability to identify and mitigate risks, the ability to protect customers and of course the ability to monitor transactions at merchants and customers, as well as the correct registration process.
6. International Standard
QRIS is prepared using the international standard EMV Co. This standard is prepared and adopted to support wider linkages and can accommodate country-specific needs so as to facilitate operations between providers, between instruments, including between countries.
