Company profile
researched Aug 2026Reku, operated by PT Rekeningku Dotcom Indonesia and formerly known as Rekeningku.com, is a Jakarta-based investment platform offering Indonesian retail investors access to crypto and US equities in one mobile and web application. Product lines include crypto spot trading (350+ coins), an OTC desk for large orders, crypto futures (150+ contracts with 1-25x leverage and automatic take-profit/stop-loss), US stocks and ETFs (600+ tickers such as AAPL, NVDA, TSLA and GOOG, with extended and overnight trading hours), staking with advertised yields up to 12.5% APY, and Reku Packs, curated multi-asset investment baskets with automatic rebalancing.
The app is designed around two interfaces: a simplified "Lightning Mode" aimed at beginners with 0% transaction fees, and a "Pro Mode" with charting and technical tools at a 0.1% fee. Additional features include Reku Insight stock analysis (Quality Score, Buzz Score and valuation), price alerts, portfolio analytics, fast KYC, deposits and withdrawals to 120+ banks, and 24/7 live-chat support staffed by people rather than a chatbot. Educational and market content is published through Reku Campus, Analysis and Info & Promo sections, and a transparency portal publishes security and operational information.
Reku states it is registered with and supervised by BAPPEBTI, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), PasarFX, Kliring Berjangka Indonesia (KBI) and the Jakarta Futures Exchange (JFX). Custody of digital assets is handled through Fireblocks, and the company says its reserves exceed user liabilities. Its offices are at Equity Tower, 11th Floor, SCBD, South Jakarta.
Founding story
Reku was established in 2018 by founders who had been active in the crypto community and came from the futures trading industry with more than 15 years of experience in complex financial instruments, including pre-existing relationships with Indonesia's commodities and futures regulator BAPPEBTI. Co-founder and CEO Sumardi Fung and Chief Compliance Officer Robby worked in the futures trading sector from 2005 until 2017 before launching the company.
Business model
Reku operates a consumer-facing brokerage/exchange platform, earning transaction fees on trading activity: 0% on crypto trades placed in Lightning Mode, 0.1% on crypto spot and futures trades in Pro Mode, and 0.25% on US stock trades, with IDR-USD conversion offered free. Additional products include staking, an OTC desk for large transactions, and curated Reku Packs portfolios.
Fee-based: trading commissions on crypto spot, crypto futures and US stock transactions, alongside ancillary services such as OTC execution and staking. The company states there are no hidden fees.
Traction
The company reports more than 1 million users and cumulative user transactions exceeding Rp10 trillion since 2018. Its Android app shows 1M+ downloads with a 4.7 rating from 40.8K ratings, and the site cites a 4.6 rating from 6.2K ratings on the other app store. Its 2022 Series A announcement disclosed US$3 billion in gross transaction value for 2021. A third-party data provider estimates revenue in the US$25M-50M range and approximately 147 employees as of July 2026; these are vendor estimates rather than company disclosures.
Latest developments
In 2024 Reku launched a transparency portal (April) and US stock trading alongside a partnership with futures brokerage Pasar FX (October). The app has since added overnight US stock trading hours covering 24 hours across five days, BAPPEBTI-licensed crypto staking, crypto futures with up to 25x leverage, and Reku Packs curated portfolios. Leadership is now structured with Sumardi Fung and Jesse Choi as Co-CEOs, Robby as Chief Compliance Officer, and Mayjen TNI (Purn.) Aris Susanto as Commissioner.

Market position
Reku positions itself as a leading Indonesian crypto and US stock exchange offering the lowest fees in its market, and describes itself as an early pioneer in Indonesian crypto with a curated listing policy limiting the platform to credible, liquid tokens. Its lead investor described the goal as solidifying leadership in Indonesia's crypto industry. A third-party profile characterises Reku as providing access to more than 800 global asset classes.
Stated differentiators are the lowest fees in the Indonesian market (including zero-fee Lightning Mode and free IDR-USD conversion), dual beginner/pro interfaces in one app, 24/7 human customer support rather than chatbots, a curated listing policy restricted to credible and liquid tokens, multi-regulator registration (BAPPEBTI, OJK, JFX, KBI, PasarFX), Fireblocks custody with reserves stated to exceed user liabilities, and a public transparency portal.
Technology
The platform was built fully in-house and refined over several years with security and compliance as design constraints, according to its Series A announcement. Digital assets are held with custodian Fireblocks. A third-party vendor profile lists technologies in use including Google Analytics 4, Chaos Mesh, Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace and JSON-LD.
Go-to-market
Distribution is primarily through the Reku mobile app on Google Play and iOS plus the web platform. The company reported growing almost exclusively by word of mouth prior to its Series A, after which it planned to ramp up marketing. Current channels include content marketing via Reku Campus and market analysis, community channels on Telegram (17,000+ members) and Instagram (75,000+ followers), promotional incentives for new US stock users, and a partnership with futures brokerage Pasar FX supporting US stock transactions.
Indonesian retail investors, spanning first-time and beginner investors served by the simplified Lightning Mode and curated Reku Packs, through to experienced and professional traders served by Pro Mode, futures with leverage, and the OTC desk.
Geography
Indonesia-focused, headquartered in Jakarta (Equity Tower, SCBD, South Jakarta). Products give Indonesian users cross-border exposure to US-listed stocks and ETFs.
History
Founded in 2018 as Rekeningku.com, the company later rebranded to Reku. It recorded US$3 billion in gross transaction value in 2021 and raised its first institutional round, an US$11 million Series A, in September 2022, at which point headcount was about 80 with plans to add more than 50 people. Jesse Choi joined as COO in August 2022 and is now listed as Co-CEO alongside Sumardi Fung. In April 2024 the company launched a transparency portal, and in October 2024 it launched US stock trading together with a partnership with Pasar FX.
Risks & controversies
No controversies are documented in the available sources. Sources note the business is exposed to crypto market cycles and to Indonesian regulatory oversight across multiple bodies (BAPPEBTI, OJK, JFX, KBI, PasarFX); leveraged futures of up to 25x and advertised staking yields are inherently risk-bearing products. Some figures in the profile (employee count, revenue range) come from a third-party lead-generation database rather than the company.
