JAKARTA - PT Bank Digital BCA (BCA Digital) in collaboration with Mastercard launched a virtual debit card as one of the digital payment options.

As of October 19, 2022, blu customers have been able to get and use a bluVirtual Card for various online transactions, both at home and abroad.

"We dedicate this blu Virtual Card to more than 945,000 blu customers so that they have more choice of payment tools, and it can more easily regulate their expenses, because we can determine for ourselves the limit of our daily bluVirtual Card transactions," said BCA Digital President Director Lanny Budiati at the launch of a bluVirtual Card in Jakarta, Wednesday, October 19.

Head of Card and Personal Loan Business BCA Digital, Rainer Sutedja explained, the advantage of this bluVirtual Card is that every transaction is protected by E Commerce Purchase Protection. Customers can shop more calmly for every online transaction anywhere around the world.

"the blu Virtual Card provides insurance guarantees if the goods are not delivered, the goods sent are wrong, or there is physical damage to the goods sent," he continued.

Lany added, this bluVirtual Card can be owned easily through the blu application.

The bluVirtual Card contains card number information, expiration date, and CVC code.

"With a collaboration with Mastercard, this bluVirtual Card can be used by customers to shop at domestic and international e-commerce for various daily needs, buy plane tickets, hotel tickets, and pay for monthly premium streaming platforms, and even subscribe to paid software and applications," said Rainer.

Not only that, he continued, customers can easily monitor and regulate the use of blu Virtual Cards through the blu application so that customers can manage finances wisely and intelligently.

President Director of Mastercard Indonesia, Navin Jain said, his party is also happy with the collaboration between Mastercard and BCA Digital.

"With Mastercard technology, bluVirtual Card owners can enjoy e-commerce protection for every payment and their online shopping, offering security and simplicity for digital transactions anytime and anywhere," said Navin.

Navin explained, the New Payments Index 2022 Mastercard found that consumers in Asia Pacific are starting to reduce the use of cash and use more digital payment methods, which makes BCA Digital's collaboration with Mastercard very appropriate.

"Mastercard and BCA Digital are long-term partners in Indonesia, and both organizations remain committed to continuing to launch various initiatives and technologies that can support the agenda of non-cash communities of the Indonesian government," said Navin.

In addition to launching a bluVirtual Card, BCA Digital is also developing a bank as a service (BaaS) service by embracing CJ CGV Cinemas.

This BaES integration allows the public to access various blu banking services from the CGV application, starting from opening blu accounts, transferring, cardless transactions at BCA ATMs, E-Money top-ups, and sending bluGift.

This service can be accessed through the CGV Cinemas application since September 2022.

The CGV Cinemas application was developed to make it easier for people to check film schedules, film information, cinema locations, and news about films.

In addition, through this CGV Cinemas application, people can easily buy tickets for films and food at all CGV Cinemas locations or rent sports hall.

Especially for blu customers, there is a special promo that can buy popcorn for IDR 5,000 if you order tickets through the CGV Cinemas application and pay using blu.

This special promo is valid from October 21 to December 31, 2022.
