JAKARTA - The Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) has carried out the process of paying claims for customer deposits and the implementation of the liquidation of the Wijaya Kusuma People's Economy Bank (BPR) in Madiun, East Java.

Secretary of the LPS Institute, Dimas Yuliharto, said that the process of paying claims for customer deposits and the implementation of bank liquidation was carried out after the BPR permit Wijaya Kusuma was revoked by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as of January 4, 2024.

"In the context of paying the claim for the guarantee of deposits of BPR customer Wijaya Kusuma, LPS will ensure that customer deposits can be paid in accordance with applicable regulations, LPS will also conduct reconciliation and verification of deposit data and other information to determine the savings to be paid," said Dimas in a statement to the media, Friday, January 5.

He explained that the reconciliation and verification in question will be completed by LPS no later than 90 working days from the date of revocation of business license, which is no later than May 31, 2024.

"Payment of customer funds will be carried out in stages during this period of time," added Dimas.

He further added that customers can see the status of their deposits at the BPR Wijaya Kusuma office or through the LPS website (www.lps.go.id) after LPS announced the payment of claims for the guarantee of BPR customer Wijaya Kusuma.

For bank debtors, he said, they can still make installment payments or repay loans at the BPR Wijaya Kusuma office by contacting the Liquidation Team.

Dimas also appealed to BPR customer Wijaya Kusuma to remain calm and not be provoked or provoked to do things that could hinder the process of paying guarantee claims and bank liquidation, and did not trust those who claimed to be able to help manage the payment of deposit guarantee claims with a number of rewards or costs charged to customers.
