JAKARTA - Bank DKI collaborated with PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI) in presenting easy tickets for commuter line (KRL) trains, at an event entitled Launching Implementation of JakCard Use on Commuter Line Trains" which was held at KAI Commuter Juanda Station, Jakarta, Thursday 27 July.

The event was also attended by the Director of Technology and Operations of Bank DKI, Amirul Wicaksono, and the Director of Operations and Marketing of PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia, Broer Rizal and related officials from both parties.

Bank DKI's Director of Technology and Operations, Amirul Wicaksono, said that this implementation is an important momentum in an effort to expand JakCard's acceptance for the public, especially KRL users with high mobility.

"Through this implementation, Bank DKI is increasingly completing its services in realizing a non-cash transaction ecosystem in DKI Jakarta. This is also in line with Bank DKI's support in realizing the integration of public transportation payments in DKI Jakarta," said Amirul.

President Director of Bank DKI, Fidri Arnaldy, on a different occasion explained that JakCard's acceptance as a KRL travel ticket was part of Bank DKI's efforts to strengthen the Electronic Money Card segment, and provide non-cash transaction options for the community.

"Bank DKI is optimistic that electronic money transactions will increase as part of people's preferences in transactions easily, safely and comfortably," said Fidri.

For information, since its launch in 2007, Bank DKI has continued to expand JakCard's acceptance, which can now be used for various entrance tickets such as Ragunan Wildlife Park, National Monument, Ancol Dreamland Park and various museums managed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

Not only that, JakCard can also be used on a number of toll roads such as Jagorawi, JORR, Bogor Outer Ring Road, inner-city toll roads to the Bali-Mandara toll road. For transportation ticket needs, JakCard can be used for Transjakarta tickets, Microtrans, MRT, Jakarta LRT, and Jabedebek LRT.

Furthermore, Fidri is optimistic that JakCard, which can now be used as a travel ticket for KRL, can be increasingly in demand considering that Bank DKI continues to record growth in JakCard usage, where in June 2022 there will be 2.5 million transactions recorded, and as of June 2023 the total transactions using JakCard were recorded at 5.1 million transactions or grew 104.86 percent year on Year (YoY).
