Edwin Ng, CEO of KinerjaPay said, "We are excited to launch this feature as we welcome Eid al Adha, the festival marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah. The Muslim community makes up approximately 87% of the Indonesian population, and by partnering with three of Indonesia's most reputable charity institutions, we have enabled our customers to make donations and participate in qurban directly through the KinerjaPay App."
Fitriansyah Agus, Head of the National Retail Division of Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (Baznas) stated, "Our partnership with KinerjaPay will facilitate users ability to contribute to Baznas and other organizations that service the neediest among us. I am hopeful that this convenience will motivate users to make donations, which all goes to help reduce poverty across the country."
Irvan Nugraha, Marketing Director of Rumah Zakat, commented, "We welcome the opportunity to work with others who have the same vision and mission as Rumah Zakat; supporting community empowerment programs in education, health, economic empowerment and environmental sustainability initiatives. I am optimistic that our relationship with KinerjaPay will attract more donors to our cause."
Dompet Dhuafa, is a non-profit institution that is also engaged in zakat*, infaq*, charity, and endowments. "The more institutions participating in the effort to raise awareness and funds, the easier it will be for Dompet Dhuafa to serve the community. We look forward to working with the team at KinerjaPay to accomplish those objectives," said Urip Budiarto, GM, Ziskur Mobilization at Dompet Dhuafa.
Ng concluded, "The ways that consumers use digital platforms to conduct financial transactions, such as banking and shopping, continues to evolve. KinerjaPay is always looking for ways to expand our traditional e-commerce services in order to best service the needs of our user base - for both consumers and affiliates. Our success has been reflected in the company's financial performance; KinerjaPay recorded a 40% increase in transactions in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the last quarter of 2016."
