The deal, which has been in the works since last year, comes close on the heels of Gojek’s $1.2bn fundraising.

The company raised the capital last month despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

The infusion is said to have strengthened Gojek’s position in the digital payments space in Indonesia.

The timing is crucial as digital payments gain traction in the country amid the Covid-19 crisis.

Speaking during a recent Bloomberg TV interview, GoPay CEO Aldi Haryopratomo said: “Regardless whether it’s good times or bad times, you have to build a really solid foundation of the business.

“We are very lucky to have secured the funding as a group and we are in a position to execute it.”

Meanwhile, Gojek co-CEOs and senior management vowed to donate 25% of their salaries over the next 12 months into a fund.

The fund aims to support drivers and merchants during the global health crisis.
