How it helps
Less paper, fewer surprises
🚤 A boat operatorImports the bank statement on Monday. Fuel and crew are sorted on their own; the two unknown transfers become questions. At month end he sees what each trip really left.
🏝️ A homestayWrites cash in and out on the phone, with a photo of each receipt, and counts the cash box every evening. A difference is written down, never hidden.
🍽️ A warungTakes bookings for boat lunches from Bayarbang guests and keeps its own walk-in sales in the same books, with no fee on those.

Do I have to take bookings through Bayarbang?
No. You can use the books and your own bookings for free and never sell through Bayarbang. When you do sell through Bayarbang, the 8.75% applies only to those bookings.
Who can see my books?
Only you. Bayarbang staff cannot open your books, and front-desk logins never see money.
Which businesses can join?
Any business in Sumatra: boats, stays, transport, shops, restaurants and warungs, guides, supplies and services. The more local businesses join, the better the logistics work for everyone.
Why do you check my details?
So guests and other businesses can trust every name on Bayarbang. We check the owner's ID, call the WhatsApp number and confirm the place before an account opens.
Can I import my bank statement?
Yes: the CSV file from your bank or e-wallet app. The same file imported twice adds nothing twice. Lines we cannot sort become a short list of questions, and you can tell us to remember the answer.
Does Bayarbang hold my money?
No. Your books are a record of your own bank and cash. Bayarbang only handles the payments for bookings made through Bayarbang and pays them out to your bank.
