This is so bizarre. I have topped up OVO several hundred times at this point, and it has never been anything but instantaneous.
I haven't really gone out enough to experience much of the “no cash" problem.Yeah I figured it out and it's working now.
Indo isn't really good for payment infrastructure where payments are seamless. Lot of red tape and documents needed versus say the Philippines or even Vietnam where anyone can top up wallets or bank accounts.
Cashless is very important now since more and more places don't want to accept cash due to the virus. They will take a physical debit or credit card though. How odd.

Anyone who says credit cards are bad just doesn't understand how to use one efficiently.
I learned this the hard way. Now 6 juta wasn't going to put me in the poor house, but it was a frustrating ordeal talking to BCA. Basically I had no say in it. How convenient for the bank. According to them it's possible that I went around putting petrol into several cars at 8 different pump stations.I agree credit cards are good but the video you posted is not valid as there is zero protection on credit cards in Indonesia. The example the guy used of someone stealing your number and charging a million to your card would be protected in USA but not in Indonesia and you are liable for all transactions up until you report them, which obviously you cannot do before losing some money. They have safety mechanisms in place but in my experience (HSBC) they only work to stop you when you need to buy something overseas but not when someone is charging 100k x 100times at a petrol station in bogor to your card.
Things are getting better with pin numbers and sms so hopefully pretty soon credit cards will not work at all unless the pin number is entered. The old manual way needs to go.
It's coming. I don't know if you've been to China semi-recently, but everyone pays through their phones there. As a foreign visitor, I didn't have access to this this, so had to try and pay in cash. They looked at me like I had two heads - especially if I needed change.Never once had someone say "ugh cash, no thanks. Do you have a card" ?
Is it harder to rob a bank or knock out the Wi-Fi connection for a retailer? How many times does the card machine not work and they ask you "do you have cash" ?

It happened to me in my local Starbucks in Jakarta. No purchases below 50k and no cash accepted. I just wanted to buy a cappucino so I couldn't and went to the other coffee shop 20 metres away, which is now where I always go.It's coming.
