The platform outlines how roles are clearly divided between merchants and Xepeng to support compliant, traceable conversion-based transactions.

Bali, Indonesia, January 25, 2026 — Xepeng today detailed its shared responsibility model for conversion-based payments, clarifying which duties rest with merchants and which are managed centrally by the platform to ensure transaction clarity, auditability and operational predictability.

As cross-border digital payment flows expand, ambiguity about who verifies identity, maintains records, or responds to disputes can slow merchant onboarding and increase operational risk. Xepeng’s framework addresses these challenges by defining responsibility boundaries that align with existing business practices and support traceable Rupiah settlements.

“Clear responsibility boundaries are essential for trust,” said Budi Satrya, CMO of Xepeng. “Merchants should know exactly what is expected of them, and platforms and regulators should be able to follow a verifiable trail for every transaction. Our model makes those responsibilities explicit and practical.”

Practical split of duties

Xepeng’s model divides responsibilities into three practical domains: merchant responsibilities (commercial & evidentiary), Xepeng responsibilities (verification, conversion & settlement), and shared duties (communication, dispute escalation and record retention).

Merchant responsibilities (commercial & evidentiary)

• Issue and retain invoices, booking confirmations or order references that document the underlying sale or service.
• Provide requested commercial evidence when disputes arise or when required for reconciliation and tax reporting.

Xepeng responsibilities (verification, conversion & settlement)

• Execute customer identity verification and AML/KYC screening prior to conversion.
• Run platform-level transaction monitoring and risk escalation procedures.
• Perform conversion of validated digital-origin value and settle net proceeds in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) to the merchant’s registered bank account.
• Supply reconciliation-ready artifacts (transaction reference, timestamps, conversion-window metadata, and settled IDR amounts) suitable for bookkeeping and audits.

Shared duties (communication & dispute handling)

• Maintain documented channels and timelines for dispute escalation and evidence exchange.
• Preserve transaction records and verification logs for audit or lawful requests, consistent with Xepeng’s retention principles.

Why the model matters

For international partners and marketplaces, the framework creates a predictable integration point: external systems can route payments to an endpoint that reliably provides local-currency outcomes and traceable records, reducing onboarding friction and integration risk.

By approaching a shared responsibility model, Xepeng reduces operational burden for merchants while ensuring controls are applied consistently at the platform level. This separation helps merchants preserve familiar accounting and tax workflows (e.g. generate a payment link, attach a commercial reference, and reconcile a Rupiah settlement) without the need to manage digital assets, wallets, or token accounting.

Xepeng aims to promote transparency and reinforce confidence in conversion-based payment models. The framework reflects a compliance-first philosophy, ensuring that innovation in digital payments is matched by clear governance and accountability.
