Starting This Year, BCA Wants to Spread Dividends per Quarter

JAKARTA - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) revealed that it would increase the frequency of interim dividend distribution. In the future, dividend distribution will be carried out per quarter from the previous one which was only carried out once a year.

BCA Director Vera Eve Lim said that if BCA had only distributed dividends at the end of the year, then starting this year the distribution is carried out every quarter.

"Starting this year, we will do it every quarter. It will start from the 2nd quarter, the 3rd quarter, and the 4th quarter. So there are 3 interim dividends," said Vera, quoted Friday, April 24.

Vera also said there was a trend of increasing the dividend ratio or dividend payout ratio over the past year. BCA noted that in the 2025 fiscal year, the dividend payout ratio was recorded at 72 percent compared to the previous year of 68 percent.

"So there is an increase," explained Vera.

For information, BBCA earned a net profit of IDR 14.7 trillion in the first quarter of 2026.

This figure increased by 3.8 percent year on year or year on year (yoy) from the same period last year which was recorded at Rp14.1 trillion.

On the other hand, BCA's total credit rose 5.6 percent year-on-year to Rp994 trillion as of March 2026, in line with the Company's commitment to supporting the national economy.

The distribution of credit is supported by solid funding, with cash and savings (CASA) of IDR 1,089 trillion, growing 11.2 percent year-on-year.

Meanwhile, the CASA portion dominates around 85.2 percent of BCA's total Third Party Funds (DPK).
