Turkey's instant payment system (Anlık Ödeme Sistemi) operated directly by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB). Supports transfers via IBAN, phone number, email, or Turkish ID number with 24/7 availability and sub-second settlement. Launched during a period of rapid digital payment adoption in Turkey, it connects banks and e-money institutions. The system processes both TRY and has provisions for future multi-currency support as Turkey's fintech ecosystem expands.
Indonesia's national QR code standard (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) that unifies QR payments across banks, e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, Dana, ShopeePay), and the BI-FAST rail into a single interoperable code. Unlike most payment systems that are a single rail, QRIS is a multi-rail standard — merchants display one QR code that consumers can scan with any participating app, with settlement happening through whichever rail the consumer's app uses. Mandated by Bank Indonesia, QRIS processed 34B+ transactions in 2024 and is central to Indonesia's financial inclusion strategy for its 17,000-island archipelago.
