Sending Money Abroad Now Easier with Six-Language Support
The increasing mobility of foreign workers in Indonesia is driving the need for more accessible financial services. One such service is remittance, or overseas money transfers, which are now required to be not only fast and efficient but also capable of reaching users from various linguistic backgrounds. Responding to this need, the remittance platform Topremit has launched four new language options on its application: Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese. This feature complements the previously available Indonesian and English options.
The addition of these languages is intended to make it easier for the expatriate community in Indonesia to conduct money transfers to their home countries without facing language barriers. By using their native languages, users are expected to more easily understand every stage of the transaction, ensuring a more comfortable application experience.
Hermanto, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Co-Founder of Topremit, stated that ease of access is a crucial aspect of remittance services, particularly for users from various countries. “For us, the process of sending money abroad should essentially be easier and accessible anytime and anywhere,” said Hermanto.
He noted that the addition of language options is part of the company’s effort to provide more inclusive services while increasing user convenience in cross-border transactions.
Topremit has recorded a continuous growth trend in users over recent years. According to the company’s internal data, the number of active users grew by 19.93% from 2024 to 2025. This trend continued into the first quarter of 2026, with the number of users exceeding 300,000.
The company believes this growth reflects increasing public trust, including among the expatriate community, in digital remittance services that offer more practical transaction processes. In addition to expanding language options, Topremit maintains several of its key features, including overseas fund transfer services with estimated times starting from five minutes and flat transfer fees starting from IDR 45,000.
Through this update, the company hopes that digital remittance services will become even more accessible to the global community living and working in Indonesia. The Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese language options are now available and can be used via the Topremit application.
Amidst the increasing need for cross-border transactions, the company views user experience as a vital factor in driving the adoption of digital financial services. Therefore, innovation is no longer focused solely on transaction speed and cost, but also on ease of use so that services can be accessed by more users from various countries.
