Bojonegoro, JurnalPost.com — The use of digital payment services is increasingly becoming a part of daily life, including when purchasing medicine at pharmacies. The presence of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) provides a practical alternative for cashless payments without the need to carry physical cash.
Through the QRIS service, customers simply scan the payment code using a mobile banking app or any digital payment application that supports the system. Transactions can be completed via smartphone as long as there is an internet connection and the business facility accepts QRIS payments.
This convenience is being felt by Insiyah, a Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) customer in Bojonegoro. She shared that having the QRIS payment option when buying medicine at pharmacies is very helpful, especially when she does not have cash on hand.
"In my opinion, paying with BRI QRIS is very helpful. When buying medicine at a pharmacy, we don't always have to carry cash or worry about finding exact change. I just open the app on my phone, scan the QRIS code, enter the payment amount if necessary, and complete the transaction," said Insiyah.
According to her, digital payments provide convenience for people who need to make quick transactions, including when purchasing medicine on short notice.
In addition to shortening the payment process, using QRIS also means she does not need to carry large amounts of cash while traveling.
"Sometimes we go to the pharmacy because we need specific medicine urgently. With QRIS payments, the transaction feels much easier. As long as there is an internet connection and the pharmacy accepts QRIS, we can utilize the service," she said.
Digital Payments Increasingly Aligned with Public Needs
Insiyah believes that the development of digital banking services offers the public more options for conducting daily transactions.
The use of QRIS is not limited to pharmacy payments but can also be utilized at various other businesses that have implemented the facility.
With the QR code-based payment system, buyers do not need to prepare exact change or wait for cash back. Transactions can be performed through any payment application that supports the QRIS standard.
However, digital payments still depend on several factors, such as internet network availability, the readiness of the payment system, and the facilities provided by the merchant.
Insiyah hopes that more business owners in Bojonegoro, including pharmacies, will provide cashless payment services so that the public has a variety of transaction methods to suit their needs.
"I hope that digital payment services will be used more widely. The public also needs to understand how to use them correctly so that transactions remain secure. Before confirming a payment, we must ensure that the recipient's name and the amount are correct," she added.
Customers Reminded to Ensure Transaction Security
Behind the convenience offered, the use of QRIS still requires diligence from users, especially before finalizing a payment.
Customers need to ensure that the recipient's name appearing in the application matches the intended business. The transaction amount must also be checked to avoid payment errors.
After completing a transaction, users should verify that the payment status is successful and save the transaction receipt if needed.
This step is important to avoid misunderstandings between the buyer and the pharmacy, especially if there are network issues or delays in payment confirmation.
Utilizing QRIS through BRI banking services is one option for people who want to make cashless payments, including for daily health needs.
For Insiyah, the ease of digital payments is not just about speed, but also about the flexibility in choosing how to transact.
"Convenience is not just about the speed of payment, but also about providing flexibility in managing transactions. By remaining mindful of security, BRI QRIS can be a practical payment choice to support the activities of the people of Bojonegoro," she said.
This experience demonstrates how digital payment services are becoming increasingly integrated with the needs of the community. With proper and secure usage, QRIS can be a transaction alternative that simplifies daily activities, including purchasing medicine at pharmacies.
