Pintu review
Pintu is the Indonesian app built for phones first, and it is the one most new Indonesian buyers meet. It is licensed by Otoritas Jasa Keuangan as a Digital Financial Asset Trader and appears on the whitelist OJK has published since taking over crypto supervision in January 2025.
The main app is deliberately simple: pick an amount, pay by rupiah bank transfer, done. Behind it sits Pintu Pro, the order-book tier, where fees are 0.12 percent maker and 0.17 percent taker. That taker rate is among the lowest published in Indonesia, and lower than Indodax Pro charges takers.
Like every licensed Indonesian platform, it connects to CFX, the national crypto exchange, and withholds the 0.21 percent final income tax automatically, so the tax on an eligible trade is settled at source rather than left for you to calculate.
The trade-off against Indodax is funding breadth. Pintu handles rupiah bank transfers cleanly, but it does not reach the GoPay, OVO and DANA wallet users that Indodax does. If you bank normally, that costs you nothing and you get the cheaper taker rate.
