Bank Indonesia defines e-money as stored-value or prepaid products in which a record of the funds or value available to a consumer is stored on an electronic device in the consumer’s possession (Hidayati, Nuryanti, Firmansyah, Fadly, & Darmawan, 2006).

According to Detik, e-money usage in Indonesia had increased positively from 2009 to 2012. In 2009, e-money transaction reached 1.4 billion IDR a day. Then in 2010 it reached 1.9 billion IDR. In 2011, the transaction reached 2.7 billion IDR. Then, next, in 2012 it reached 3.9 billion IDR. We can see that on each year, e-money transaction grew 120%.

Based on those facts, JAKPAT tried to conduct a survey concerning e-money usage in Indonesia. We tried to know the reason encouraging Indonesians for using e-money. Next, this survey was followed by 489 respondents.

30%+ Use E-Money

At first, we chose respondents having and using e-money among 498 respondents that would be analyzed in this survey. Because from those respondents we found that only 168 respondents have and use e-money (34.36%), thus those respondents answer the following questions in this survey. More respondents not having and using e-money (66.06%).

91.67% Own At Least One

While questioning about how many kinds of e-money that they have, most respondents answered that they have 1-2 kinds each(91.67%). We found most respondents that own at least one e-money here are college students.

Transportation is main driver

Respondents have several reasons for using e-money but mostly they use it to pay their transportation fares (55.23%), and second, to pay their bills (40.70%), such as electricity bill and telephone bill. Below are the comparison between male vs female respondent in using e-money :
