What Virgo does
Virgo, operated by PT Capital Net Indonesia, is an Indonesian Bank Indonesia-licensed e-money and digital payment platform headquartered in Jakarta and founded in 2021. Its core product, the Virgo Wallet mobile app (Android/iOS), enables consumers to store balances, execute QRIS payments in both Merchant Presented Mode (MPM) and Customer Presented Mode (CPM), purchase digital products (pulsa, data, electricity tokens), pay bills including BPJS Kesehatan, transfer funds to bank accounts and other Virgo users, withdraw cash at retail outlets, and link multiple bank accounts (Bank Aladin, BCA, CIMB Niaga) as funding sources through a multi-source dana (SoF) architecture. A flagship differentiator is Top Up Kembalian, which allows users to deposit retail purchase change directly into their Virgo wallet at 17,000+ Alfamart, Alfamidi, Dan+Dan, and Lawson outlets.
The platform is built on Bank Indonesia's BI-SNAP standard QRIS APIs and supports both consumer-presented and merchant-presented QR flows. On the B2B side, Virgo offers merchant QRIS acceptance (delivered through the Aksesmu merchant app operated by PT Sumber Trijaya Lestari), online payment acceptance via Direct Debit and Virtual Account, a white-label Co-Brand Wallet API for application partners (Alfagift, UniPin, GOC, GoTravel), and a Multi-Source of Funds integration for payment providers that is publicly listed as an upcoming service. Merchant settlement is routed exclusively to Bank Aladin Syariah accounts.
Virgo earns revenue through transaction fees: a Merchant Discount Rate of 0% on QRIS transactions up to Rp500,000 and 0.3% above that threshold; top-up fees of Rp1,000 via Alfamart/BCA/CIMB Niaga and Rp6,500 via other banks; Rp2,500 bank transfer fees; embedded margins on digital product resales; and B2B API licensing tied to transaction volume through white-labeled wallet instances. Virgo reports more than 90 million transactions per year, more than 24,000 merchants across Indonesia, more than 22,000 service partners, and more than 200 partner applications, and it won the Google Play Best Essential App 2022 award for the Top Up Kembalian feature.

Revenue derives from transaction volume flowing through white-labeled wallet instances.

Directly comparable to Virgo on consumer wallet, multi-source dana and merchant acceptance, with stronger distribution via state-owned banks.
