Shopping Activity Increases During Ramadan, Midtrans Transactions Rise 35 Percent

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Midtrans has recorded a significant increase in transaction volume of up to 35 percent throughout the month of Ramadan 2026 compared to normal periods. This increase reflects the high level of economic activity among the public during that period, while also demonstrating the role of digital payment systems in supporting smooth transactions. Head of Midtrans, Boan Sianipar, stated that the surge in transactions was evident across various sectors. “Thus, it can be concluded that consumers are increasingly comfortable and confident in conducting digital transactions,” said Boan. This rise indicates that reliable and secure digital payment systems are an important factor in accommodating the high economic activity during Ramadan. During this period, public needs increase, particularly for daily consumption, online shopping, and digital entertainment services. The company ensures that system stability and security remain maintained so that merchants can serve customers without disruptions. “We are always pleased to see the growth of merchants during the month of Ramadan. Our focus during Ramadan and Eid is to ensure security and system stability to handle the surge in transactions without obstacles, so that the consumer transaction experience is not disrupted and our merchants’ operations can continue smoothly,” Boan added. In addition, the ease of integration and flexibility of payment methods have become supporting factors for the increase in transactions. Meanwhile, for digital services such as streaming and top-ups, system stability is said to play an important role in maintaining service quality. This is particularly relevant during the homecoming period, when public digital activity tends to increase. From a security perspective, Midtrans has also strengthened transaction protection through a fraud detection system. This system is designed to ensure that every transaction proceeds safely, both for consumers and merchants.
