JAKARTA: Indonesia's Go-Jek has acquired three financial technology businesses, as it expands from ride-hailing and other mobile on-demand offerings into payments and other services.

Go-Jek has bought offline payments processing company Kartuku, online payment gateway Midtrans, and saving and lending network Mapan, the company said in a statement on Friday. The acquisitions will take its combined debit card, credit card and digital wallet transactions to close to $5 billion, it said.

The value of the acquisitions was not disclosed.



The acquisitions "will accelerate financial inclusion for millions of Indonesians and stimulate economic productivity throughout the country," Go-Jek founder and chief executive officer Nadiem Makarim said.



Go-Jek, backed by private equity firms KKR & Co LP and Warburg Pincus LLC, competes with Uber Technologies and Singapore-based Grab to lure customers in the Southeast Asian market, home to 600 million people.



According to the statement, Go-Jek currently has 15 million weekly active users and processes 100 million transactions per month.
