JAKARTA, Indonesia<\/span>, May 3, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Bank BRI (IDX: BBRI) <\/b>has partnered with PT Telkom Indonesia Tbk. (IDX: TLKM) <\/b>to provide access to financial services for 5 million people in Indonesia<\/span> over the next two years. They synergize to expand the use of digital technology in the financial sector for reliable telecommunication infrastructures to accelerate digital economy.<\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a> by UOB, PwC, and Singapore Fintech Association (SFA), 50% of the population in Indonesia<\/span>, Malaysia<\/span>, Philippines<\/span>, Singapore<\/span>, Thailand<\/span>, and Vietnam<\/span>, do not have access to financial services or are unbanked. In Indonesia<\/span> alone, 28 million<\/a> people are unbanked.<\/p>\n

“The synergy between BRI and Telkom pushes financial inclusion to remote areas in Indonesia<\/span>. Telkom is here to support BRI’s needs of internet network with their expertise,” said Erick Thohir, Indonesian Minister of State-Owned Enterprises.<\/p>\n

One of the priority agendas of Indonesia’s<\/span> Presidency on this year’s G20 Summit is digital transformation that includes providing financial services to remote areas.<\/p>\n

As Indonesia<\/span> is predicted to become the fourth largest country in the world economy, the Ministry will continue to encourage digital transformation for Indonesia’s<\/span> economy in 2045. “Digital transformation carried out by the Ministry is very important for state-owned enterprises to continue to grow in the midst of technological developments,” added Eric.<\/p>\n

Sunarso, President Director of BRI explained, “BRI’s aspires to efficiently serve as many people as possible. The most effective way to reach 17,000 islands in Indonesia<\/span> is through digitalization. Thus, we collaborate with Telkom to develop the digital infrastructure.”<\/p>\n

The collaboration from 2020 to 2021 has provided banking access to around 5 million people in Indonesia<\/span>, or 0.1 percent of the world’s population.<\/p>\n

Telkom’s infrastructure has reached remote and disadvantaged areas in all regions of Indonesia<\/span>, through their fiber optics, terrestrial networks, base transceiver station and satellites.<\/p>\n

“Digital connectivity encourages access of information across all sectors, including the financial sector. Thus, Telkom supports BRI’s commitment to providing digital-based banking services to remote areas in Indonesia<\/span>,” said Ririek Adriansyah, President Director of PT Telkom Indonesia.<\/p>\n

This is expected to contribute to a larger economy because growth in access to banking finance in Indonesia<\/span> can contribute to the economic growth Asian region as well.<\/p>\n
