Conglomerate Chairul Tanjung Reveals There's The World's Largest Digital Bank Behind Allo Bank, Is It Tencent-Backed WeBank?

JAKARTA - The richest person number 6 in Indonesia, as well as the CEO of PT CT Corpora, Chairul Tanjung, revealed that there is the largest digital bank in the world that is involved in developing mobile applications from Allo Bank.

The man who is familiarly called CT said the most important factors in the development of digital banks are platforms and technology. The Allo Bank application, which will be launched in March 2022, according to CT, was developed by the best people at CT Corp and involves the largest digital bank in the world today.

"All of the best people in CT Corp are collaborating with the largest digital bank in the world, which has been active for 8 years and has more than 200 million customers. So, it has been tested," said Chairul Tanjung at a press conference on Tuesday, January 11.

However, CT has not been able to name the digital bank he is referring to. However, if you mention the largest digital bank in the world, there is only one name that sticks out, namely WeBank.

WeBank was the first digital bank in China to officially launch when it received its banking license in December 2014. Based in Shenzhen, WeBank is supported by a leading company, namely Tencent.

Tencent is a major internet and technology company in China. Tencent is noted to have a variety of products, including WeChat which fills the communication and social sectors. Tencent also has financial technology or fintech services in the form of WeChat Pay, QQ Wallet, and others.

WeBank currently holds the status of being the largest digital bank in the world with more than 200 million customers. This bank also leads in all aspects, from assets, loans, net profit, to equity.

With the involvement of the world's largest digital bank in the development of the Allo Bank application, CT believes that the presence of the platform from the issuer bank dressed as BBHI is able to answer consumer needs in the future.

"Therefore, we believe that our platform is able to answer the challenges of the number of customers, types of transactions, as well as matters related to technology itself," concluded Putri Tanjung's father.
