JAKARTA - Supporting food security in DKI Jakarta, Bank DKI strengthens business collaboration with Food Station Tjipinang Jaya, one of the Food Enterprises in DKI Jakarta. This collaboration includes the signing of a collaborative business ecosystem collaboration agreement between PT Bank DKI and the Tjipinang Jaya Food Station and the signing of the MSME credit agreement for the Cipinang Rice Main Market traders in Jakarta, March 10.

President Director of Bank DKI, Fidri Arnaldy said that Bank DKI is ready to support the Food Station business ecosystem by becoming a one stop banking service solution through digital banking services for visitors and traders of the Cipinang Rice Main Market.

On this occasion, a cooperation agreement for the rice supply program for Bank DKI employees (Berkawan) was also signed by the Director of Finance of Bank DKI, Romy Wijayanto and the President Director of Food Station, Pamrihadi Wiraryo witnessed by the Acting Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta, Budi Purnomo and the President Director of Bank DKI, Fidri Arnaldy, together with Director of UMK Credit & Sharia Business of Bank DKI, Babay Parid Wazdi, Director of Technology & Operations of Bank DKI, Amirul Wicaksono and Director of Operations and Business of Food Stations, Andre Maulana and Director of Finance and General Affairs of Food Stations, Budi Santoso.

The President Director of Bank DKI, Fidri Arnaldy said that Food Station has very promising business potential for lending to both MSMEs and Commercial. With a total of 298 traders, Food Station is a good market for MSME lending. Every year, Bank DKI also distributes Working Capital Loans, Current Account Loans to Food Stations and supply chain financing loans to suppliers. In 2021, Bank DKI will also provide commercial credit to Food Station.

Acting Head of BP BUMD DKI Jakarta, Budi Purnomo said that the collaboration between Bank DKI and Food Station is expected to increase added value for the two BUMDs and can support food security in empowering MSMEs in DKI Jakarta. He also supports the Employee Rice program which is expected to provide benefits to Bank DKI and Food Stations.

President Director of Food Station, Pamrihadi said that in maintaining food security in the Jakarta area, his party collaborates with various parties, both government agencies, private sector, and BUMD, including with Bank DKI. He also called this collaboration an effort by Food Station as one of the Food BUMDs to provide food needs in Jakarta.

"So the Berkawan program not only helps the absorption of Food Stations, but also absorbs rice from farmers in various production centers," said Pamrihadi in a written statement.

In addition to lending, Fidri added that Bank DKI also entered the market ecosystem through the provision of a payment system and the application of non-cash transactions to provide transaction convenience for visitors and Food Station traders. One of them is providing a payment and transaction system to support the cheap food program for Jakarta residents through Bank DKI's EDC.

In addition, Bank DKI is also a payment system at the Food Station Webstore through a Virtual Account and in the future it will be integrated with JakOne Mobile and Bank DKI's QRIS.

Bank DKI also provides convenience in making transactions for Food Station traders through the JakOne Bills service where traders can pay online shop market maintenance fees and annual warehouse bills. The potential revenue for the payment of the two bills is estimated to bring in an income of Rp. 43.2 billion for the Food Station.

Previously, Bank DKI has also provided Merchant Cards to Food Station traders where the card can function as an identity card, ATM card and Bank DKI JakCard and can be used as a means of paying merchant retribution.

Complementing the digital ecosystem that has been developed, Bank DKI is ready to support the implementation of an electronic parking payment system using JakCard and QR. Fidri also said that Bank DKI was also ready to support the digitization of MSMEs in the Food Station environment by inviting all MSME traders to become JakOne Abank agents.

"Through the collaboration that Bank DKI DKI continues to do with Food Station, it is hoped that it can strengthen the business ecosystem that has been built so far, as well as have a positive impact in supporting food security in DKI Jakarta," concluded Fidri.
