Indonesia-based Gojek said it plans to use proceeds from this round to support the acceleration of its payment services across Southeast Asia.

The two firms will also work together to innovate payment solutions for digital-first consumers and Southeast Asia’s unbanked and underserved population.

The companies “share a collective vision of enabling convenient and seamless transactions for consumers across socio-economic groups,” said Aldi Haryopratomo, CEO of Go-Pay, the startup’s digital wallet.

Gojek’s ongoing funding round includes backing from companies such as Google, Tencent, JD.com, Asta, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Motors, and Mitsubishi UFJ Lease and Finance.
