Reku review
Reku is the smallest of the licensed Indonesian platforms we rank, and its pitch is restraint: a curated list of assets rather than hundreds, and a fee structure with fewer places to trip.
It is licensed by Otoritas Jasa Keuangan as a Digital Financial Asset Trader and connects to CFX, the national crypto exchange, like every compliant Indonesian venue. That connection is also what makes the 0.21 percent final income tax get withheld automatically on eligible trades.
The practical draw is the exit. Reku does not charge a fee to withdraw rupiah, where Indodax charges a flat 10,000 rupiah every time. Your bank may still apply its own administrative charge, but the platform takes nothing. For someone moving money in and out regularly rather than accumulating in one lump, that adds up.
What you give up is depth and breadth. Order books are thinner than Indodax or Tokocrypto, and the curated asset list is a feature only if you wanted a short list. For buying bitcoin specifically, thin books matter less than they would for anything else.
