PT Astra International Tbk (ASII) is committed to increasing its investment in financial services and digital technology to support people's needs.

This innovation is carried out to provide applications and the use of technology to accelerate business processes.

Astra International Director Suparno Djasmin said that his party always made innovations using technology, both at this time during the Covid-19 pandemic and before the Covid-19 pandemic. The investment is made in the ecosystem of Astra International and the business entity, Astra Financial or PT Sedaya Multi Investama.

"This innovation will continue to be carried out this year and also in the coming years," said Suparno in Jakarta, Tuesday (30/3).

This form of innovation, according to Suparno, is carried out not only in the form of supporting business processes at Astra but also innovation by an integrated business unit to customers.

"For this innovation, Astra does not hesitate to invest as long as it is still in the ecosystem of Astra International and business entities, Astra Financial or PT Sedaya Multi Investama," he explained.

So far, the digital innovation carried out by Astra has more to do with financial services. For example, through the launch of an online loan application, Maucash, in 2018.

This application was launched through a joint venture between a subsidiary of Sedaya Multi Investama and WeLab, namely Astra Welab Digital Astra. Then, Astra also launched a used car launch application, Mobil88.

Astra has recently launched an application that integrates all Astra's financial services products, namely MOXA. Through this application, consumers can enjoy various services, ranging from vehicle financing, religious travel financing, multipurpose loans, financing for gadgets, electronics, furniture, and preparing education funds.
