Here's How To Reactivate Dormant Accounts That Are Temporarily Blocked By PPATK

JAKARTA - PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI revealed how to reactivate accounts that were temporarily suspended or blocked by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).

As is known, PPATK temporarily suspended transactions of a number of accounts that fall into the domestic (inactive) category to prevent misuse of banking accounts for illegal activities.

BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo in his statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, July 30, said customer funds and data were kept safe even though PPATK blocked accounts.

He also stated that his party is committed to complying with all applicable provisions and regulations, including directions from regulators such as PPATK.

Customers do not need to worry because this policy does not affect the stored funds or data. BNI guarantees that all customer funds and data remain safe," said Okki.

The account of the customer affected by the temporary suspension, continued Okki, the reopening of the account can only be done with PPATK approval.

The process of opening the block can be carried out through PPATK, BNI branch offices, or BNI headquarters.

After the block is opened, the customer can reactivate thedomant account by visiting the nearest BNI branch office, bringing their identity (KTP), and making an initial deposit of at least Rp. 100,000.

BNI also encourages customers to routinely make transactions so that the account remains active.

Simple activities such as depositing funds, transfers, or payments through digital channels are sufficient to avoid domestic status.

In addition, BNI urges customers to periodically update contact data such as cell phone numbers and email addresses. This is important so that customers continue to receive important notifications from banks, including information regarding account status and other services.

"Through this step, we hope that customers will increasingly realize the importance of maintaining account activity and jointly supporting strengthening a safe and healthy national financial system," said Okki.
