JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk recorded success in raising Third Party Funds (DPK) worth IDR 1,245.12 trillion.

Then the CASA portion consisting of BRI current accounts and savings also continued to increase, from 65.12 percent in the second quarter of 2022 to 65.49 percent in the second quarter of 2023.
"BRI has 2 main strategies to encourage CASA collection going forward, namely focusing on retention and acquisition. For retention, BRI's strategy will be focused on digital transactions, optimizing wholesale customer value chains, and using big data to maximize opportunities from customers. As for acquisitions, BRI will target the business ecosystem and merchants," said Sunarso in an online press conference, on Wednesday, August 30.
Meanwhile, from an operational standpoint, BRI's business process reengineering has also increased efficiency in BRI's business operations.
