In supporting digitalization, all MSME tenants were equipped with QRIS Jakpreneur to serve cashless payment. QRIS not only facilitated tenants in recording their income but also minimizes direct contact between customers and tenants to prevent COVID-19 transmission.

Bank DKI as the main sponsor fully supported the digital transaction and MSME empowerment programs in Jakarta.
