JAKARTA -- Go-Pay, the digital payment arm of Indonesian ride-hailer Go-Jek, will extend a mobile credit service to brick-and-mortar stores starting next month, laying the foundation for a broader financial business targeting its millions of users.

The expansion of PayLater, which lets users pay for transactions on the Go-Jek platform at the end of the month, is yet another development in the ride-hailer's battle with Singapore-based rival Grab and Ovo, its payment partner in Indonesia.
