A man from Singkawang, Daniel Djap Nen Kiong (45), has been using the Mitra Tokopedia since 2019 to sell various digital products, such as phone credit, data packages, PDAMs to electricity tokens.
Since then, Daniel has felt many benefits, “Usually to top up my stock of phone credit, I have to go back and forth to the agent. Since joining Mitra Tokopedia, there is no need for that because all processes can be done from the phone. This makes it very easy for me with disabilities,” said Daniel.
The large selection of digital products at Mitra Tokopedia also helps Daniel to meet customer needs more easily. “Transactions can be done more quickly, so since the start of joining my transactions have increased by 2x,” he continued.
He also hopes to inspire other disabled people to be financially independent by creating opportunities through the use of technology, such as Mitra Tokopedia.
