Payment gateway Xendit logged the largest deal in H1, raising $300m for its Series D funding, led by Coatue and Insight Partners.

For the full year, Indonesia’s fintech investments is expected to reach $3.6b, whilst deal activity in the country is expected to increase slightly by 5% reaching 102 deals in 2022.
