TEMPO.CO, mataram – Bank Indonesia West Nusa Tenggara (KPw BI NTB) Representative Office has pioneered the use of the Indonesian standard Quick Response Code (SQRI) for the payment of motor vehicle tax (PKB). The service is in collaboration with NTB One-Stop Manunggal Administration System (Samsat) and NTB Syariah Bank.
