JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI) Tbk noted that the transaction value of BRILink agents reached IDR 1,400 trillion per year and from Brilink transactions the company received a commission of IDR 1.3 trillion.

"The transaction volume at BRILink agents in the stalls a year reached Rp1,400 trillion. We can imagine that BRI received a fee of around Rp1.3 trillion from Brilink agents," said BRI President Director Sunarso at the opening of BRI Microfinance 2024 in Jakarta, Thursday, March 7, 2024.

Sunarso said that the profits obtained were not only in Bank BRI but also in BRILink agents who received a fee of 2 to 3 times and not less than IDR 3 trillion.

"The agency gets 2-3 times what BRI receives. This means that the fees received are no less than Rp. 3 trillion annually received by these stalls, which makes the public enthusiastic about becoming a brilink agent," he said.

According to Sunarso, BRILink's agent was formed because the lower class sometimes hesitate to come to the branch office. "Underlying people are reluctant to come to the branch, they choose to come to a neighbor in the form of a shop. This shop is a branch, namely BRILink agents," he said.

Sunarso explained that BRILink agents have long been formed to fulfill the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Laku program and since 2019 BRI has continued to encourage an increase in the number of BRILink organizers to date have touched 741,000 Brilink agents.

For information, BRILink agents adopt hybrid banking, namely the internal process of banking services that has been digitized while the interaction process with its customers is still 'human touching' through agents.
