JAKARTA, Indonesia, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As a fintech company committed to improving quality of life through digital financing, PT JULO Teknologi Finansial (JULO) continues to expand its role in advancing financial inclusion and literacy across Indonesia, including underbanked communities across the country. Over nine years of operation, JULO has reached 3.28 million users nationwide, across Indonesia’s 38 provinces from Aceh to Papua.

As of December 2025, JULO has disbursed more than USD 1.7 billion in total financing to support a wide range of user needs. Of this amount, USD 380 million was allocated to business capital across various sectors, including food and beverage (F&B) businesses, online merchants, and service-based enterprises. JULO has also supported access to education through total financing of USD 108 million, which was used for school tuition fees, uniforms, and learning materials.

Beyond supporting business activities and education, JULO has also helped its users create comfortable living environments through home renovation financing totaling USD 63 million. In addition, users have also utilized a total of USD 45 million to cover healthcare expenses, ranging from prescription redemptions to medical consultations across thousands of healthcare facilities nationwide.

Anisa, a JULO user since 2023, utilized her credit limit to realize her aspiration of starting a small business. “I had long wanted to start a small venture to increase my income and savings. Once I received my credit limit from JULO, I immediately used it as business capital. The process was fast, straightforward, and the funds were disbursed quickly. Today, the snack business I run has become a steady source of additional monthly income,” she shared.

With credit limits of up to IDR 50 million, JULO provides users with the flexibility to manage multiple financial needs simultaneously. Gita L, a JULO user based in Semarang, has been utilizing her credit limit since 2023 to support both her business operations and her child’s education. “I use JULO to manage my business cash flow. There were also times when significant school expenses came up at the same time, and I relied on JULO. So far, everything has been running smoothly because I always make payments before the due date.” he explained.

Beyond providing financing, JULO also prioritizes payment convenience as part of its commitment to sustainable financial inclusion. With interest rates starting from 0.1% per day, users are given the flexibility to align installments with their payday, benefit from incentives for early repayment, and choose from a wide range of payment methods, including autodebit and payments via convenience stores.

Supported by responsible financing practices and accessible payment systems, JULO has maintained a 90-day repayment success rate (TKB90) of 98.69% as of November 2025, in line with regulations set by the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

President Director of JULO, Harri Suhendra, said, “Over JULO’s nine-year journey, we have seen firsthand how access to the right financing can help people improve their quality of life. The trust and loyalty of our users reflect the tangible impact of our efforts in advancing financial inclusion. Going forward, JULO will continue to expand its service reach while strengthening financial literacy to ensure that credit is used in a safe, healthy, and responsible manner.”

To reach a wider user base, JULO officially launched its application on the iOS platform in 2025, complementing its previously optimized Android services. Alongside this expansion, JULO has consistently reinforced its commitment to data security and user protection by maintaining internationally recognized certifications, including the successful completion of ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701:2019 audits in 2025.

In the news release, “(Musée Platinum Tokyo Launches DUO Hydrogen Treatment Across All Salons in Singapore)”, issued on (December 18 2025) by Musée Platinum Tokyo over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that all mentions of “Musée Platinum Tokyo” should read “Musee Platinum Tokyo” rather than “Musée Platinum Tokyo” as originally issued inadvertently. Complete, corrected release follows:

Musee Platinum Tokyo Launches DUO Hydrogen Treatment Across All Salons in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Musee Platinum Tokyo, a leading beauty brand with over 15 years in Singapore, has officially launched the DUO Hydrogen Treatment at all its salon locations. The non-invasive treatment is formulated for individuals with sensitive, acne-prone, eczema-prone, or reactive skin and is suitable for application to the face, scalp, and body, including delicate areas.

The hydrogen treatment offers a gentle, restorative approach to skincare, helping to calm irritation, support hydration, and enhance skin resilience. It is recommended for individuals experiencing redness, dryness, or sensitivity triggered by environmental stressors or Singapore’s humid climate.

The launch responds to growing demand among individuals in Singapore for effective yet gentle treatments that support deeper skin recovery and long-term skin resilience. The technology is designed to complement existing aesthetic services, including body hair removal, with a particular focus on improving skin health.

“We have observed an increase in individuals seeking solutions that address both visible skin concerns and underlying sensitivity,” said Karen, Operation Officer of Musee Platinum Tokyo. “The DUO Hydrogen Treatment allows us to offer a safe, non-invasive option that supports skin recovery without causing additional irritation.”

Technology Overview: Combining Hydrogen and Ozone-Based Therapies

DUO Hydrogen utilises two complementary technologies, Hydrogen Care and Ozone Care, to cleanse, soothe, and support skin that is compromised. During the Hydrogen Care stage, purified water is transformed into high-concentration hydrogen (3000PPB), which penetrates deep into the pores to neutralise free radicals and remove debris that contributes to inflammation and skin ageing.

Ozone Care enhances the treatment by delivering oxygen-rich ozone water using water plasma technology. This activates skin cells, reduces bacterial buildup, and promotes wound healing. Together, these components form a dual-action system that supports hydration, barrier repair, and clarity, qualities associated with advanced skin repair treatments.

Service Expansion and Safety Considerations

The treatment is now available at all Musee Platinum Tokyo locations in Singapore. To ensure safe application, all beauticians have completed advanced training in managing sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The treatment is fragrance-free and painless, aligning with the brand’s positioning as a provider of painless hair removal and non-invasive beauty services in Singapore.

Beauticians are trained to customise each session based on individual skin types and conditions. For individuals with active flare-ups or highly reactive skin, adjustments are made to treatment duration and application intensity. The process is designed to avoid common irritants typically found in traditional facials, making it suitable for both pre-treatment and post-treatment care.

Target Audience and Skin Benefits

Although the DUO Hydrogen Treatment was developed with eczema-prone individuals in mind, it is suitable for a broad range of skin types. Individuals with acne-prone, dry, oily, or reactive skin may benefit from regular sessions, typically recommended once every two to three weeks. For more active conditions, weekly sessions may be advised during the initial phase.

With consistent use, the treatment may help to:

• Reduce redness, irritation, and flare-ups
• Improve skin hydration and strengthen the barrier
• Smooth texture and support overall skin health
• Maintain resilient, comfortable skin across the face, scalp, and body

These benefits are particularly relevant for individuals seeking to manage chronic sensitivity while continuing with aesthetic treatments such as targeted skin therapy or hair removal.

Promotional Launch Offers

To mark the launch, Musee Platinum Tokyo is offering a limited-time trial of the DUO Hydrogen Treatment at $65 (regular price: $127.50). The introductory offer allows interested parties to experience the treatment and assess its suitability for their skin needs. Further details and booking information are available on their website.

About Musee Platinum Tokyo

With six salons across Singapore and over 15 years of beauty experience, Musee Platinum Tokyo is known for painless hair removal and advanced skincare treatments. The brand combines expertise with innovative solutions, emphasising safety, comfort, and non-invasive care across all services.

PARIS, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BOE recently participated in two signature UNESCO events in Paris and Namibia, demonstrating its leading-edge concepts and ecosystem building capacity in global science governance and STEM education innovation. BOE is the first Chinese technology company to endorse the United Nations International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, 2024-2033.

Dialogue in Paris: contributing foresight on global science governance

As the sole industry representative from China, Si Da, Vice President and Chief Brand Officer of BOE, spoke at the Futures Workshop themed “Shaping the Futures of Science: The role of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, 2024-2033,” a parallel session of World Futures Day at UNESCO’s Headquarters in Paris on December 2. This session focused on reimagining the impact of science over the next 25 years and the pivotal role of the International Decade in shaping the future of science. It was widely agreed among participants that the key to scientific advances lies in translating long-term vision into sustainable strategies and actions.

Si Da pointed out that to achieve the objectives of the International Decade, it is essential to “turn foresight into long-term, sustainable strategic investment and embed corporate social responsibility into an organization’s innovation DNA.” BOE is building an integrated sustainability framework of “organization, strategy, and brand.” Its sustainability practices range from conducting educational charity initiatives to building net-zero factories to leveraging digital technology to support cultural preservation.

Initiative in Namibia: supporting UNESCO Science Clubs Network to catalyze innovation across Africa

Following the “Windows to STEM” initiative in Kenya, BOE and UNESCO are taking cooperation further. On December 5, BOE supported UNESCO in the launch of the African science clubs participating in the UNESCO Science Clubs Network in Namibia. The goal is to connect science clubs across Africa to create an open, collaborative innovation community that shares resources, thus continually inspiring younger generations to explore science. This is a key practice in advancing the International Decade’s goal of inclusive science.

In an effort to boost regional vitality, BOE is partnering with UNESCO to launch the Science Club Challenge 2026. As the initiative’s exclusive sponsor, BOE will provide winners with smart learning devices such as tablets powered by its green technology. These efforts demonstrate BOE’s steadfast support for Africa’s innovation ecosystem as a longstanding partner, and also vividly embody the concept of its sustainability brand “Open Next Earth” (ONE).

From the dialogue in Paris to ecosystem building in Africa, BOE illustrates a clear pathway to global sustainable engagement as a tech company – contributing foresight to global governance while empowering regional innovation through concrete action. BOE remains committed to working alongside UNESCO and other global partners to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
