JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) has made a breakthrough in terms of services for people who want to exchange new money.

Head of the BI Communications Department Erwin Haryono said through the Rupiah Currency Exchange and Withdrawal (Pintar) application, the public could place an order (booking) to exchange damaged or defective money at the central bank.

"Utilizing the Smart application for currency exchange services is one of BI's efforts to improve cash services to the public and to continue to strengthen public services in the new normal era," he said in a press statement, Wednesday, December 8.

According to Erwin, this strategy at the same time reduces the queue of orders at the damaged rupiah currency exchange service.

"Through the Smart application, people can place an order for rupiah currency by choosing the location of the BI office where the money is exchanged, the time of exchange, and the nominal amount of money to be exchanged," he explained.

For information, people exchange money at the BI office according to the date, time and location that have been ordered, by bringing proof of order through the Smart application. Rupiah currency exchange can be done at 08.00-11.30 local time.

"Through the rupiah currency exchange service, the public will get a more certain, accurate and safe, convenient, and easy exchange service for quality and sovereign Rupiah in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," concluded Erwin.
