Commitment To Healthy Bank Banten, President Director Ready To Resign If Registered By Shareholders

JAKARTA - Bank Banten achieved a net profit of IDR 26.59 billion at the age of 8 and this was considered to show positive performance. President Director of Bank Banten, Muhammad Busthami, said the commitment to make Bank Banten healthy would continue. In fact, he stated his readiness to step down at any time if the shareholders wanted it. If one day the shareholders ask to stop, I personally will not delay, if they are told to stop now I will stop now, he said.

Has been involved in the banking world for 34 years and understands very well that the Regional Development Bank (BPD) has different political dynamics from private banks. "My experience at Bank Mandiri and other directors is also the same from Bank Bukopin and so on, assessing that in BPD there are political elements and winning cannot be separated, so there is a separate swab," he said. Under his leadership, Bank Banten shows a positive performance, one proof of which is that profit is achieved in 2023, which is an indicator that Bank Banten is increasingly heading for a better direction. "Of course, all these achievements cannot be separated from the role of the Governor of Banten, which supports us a lot," he explained. Not only that, Bank Banten has also begun to spread its wings by collaborating with other districts and cities in Banten Province for regional general cash account management (RKUD).

"Including at this time we are building cooperation with district and city governments in the context of cooperation, and the KPK supports us in that regard," he said. Busthami's confidence in the future of Bank Banten is getting stronger with the progress of fulfilling core capital from the bank's business group (KUB) scheme and assets delegated by the Banten Provincial Government. If KUB and Bank Jatim they actually want to immediately conduct a KUB with us, and the current Banten Provincial government through the construction of a new building in Serang City will carry out capital participation, and will be able to be used in early 2025, "he said.
