BRIZZI Transactions Increase During Ramadan And Eid, Reach 19 Thousand Acception Points

JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI recorded an increase in the number of BRIZZI electronic money transactions by approximately 15 percent during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr compared to the usual average monthly transactions.

BRI Retail Funding & Distribution Director Andrijanto said that the increase was driven by the use of BRIZZI for toll payments during Eid homecoming and backflow.

"In addition, it is also influenced by the ease of top up BRIZZI's balance at BRImo, as well as the addition of BRIZZI's acceptance point to a total of approximately 19,000 acceptance points," he said, Saturday, April 20.

In addition, the purchase of BRIZZI cards was also made easier through cooperation partners. During the Eid holiday, it was recorded that the number of BRIZZI cards was distributed specifically by 15,000 cards along the Sumatra and Java toll roads.

Andrijanto added that BRIZZI, which is the medium of electronic money transactions, is predicted to experience significant growth, mainly driven by toll road electronification and digitization of local merchants.

"The number of significant BRI transaction growth will continue to support the implementation of cashless society and digitalization in the country," he continued.

Andrijanto said, this shows that more and more people have switched from cash transactions to cash less considering the ease of payment supported by BRI digital technology.

The digital transformation that has been carried out by the company has had a real impact, where currently digital transactions dominate by reaching 99 percent of BRI's total transactions.

"The rest is carried out conventionally in the BRI branch or work unit," he concluded.
