    THE fierce e-wallet war between Grab and Gojek in Indonesia has gone up a notch, with Grab gaining a stake in an Indonesian e-wallet backed by state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

    On Tuesday, Grab announced that it is leading a Series B round of up to US$100 million in commitments into Indonesia's state-backed e-wallet, LinkAja. Grab is a minority investor.
