JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) through the Taipei Foreign Branch Office signed a Cooperation Agreement on Non-Tax State Revenue Delegation (PNBP) which was received at Taipei to be deposited directly into the State Treasury of the Republic of Indonesia.

Just so you know, Taiwan has long been known as one of the main goals for Indonesian citizens to work, do business and learn. Until March 2024, it is estimated that there are more than 350,000 Indonesian citizens living in Taiwan, both as Indonesian Migrant Workers, Students, and Businesses.

Every Indonesian citizen certainly has the right to obtain protection and services for his citizenship status which has been guaranteed in law.

Through this collaboration, Taipei will find it easier to delegate to the state treasury directly from the BRI Taipei Foreign Branch Office in real time.

Present at the event were BRI Director of Wholesale & Institutional Banking Agus Noorsanto, and Deputy Head of Taiwan Zulmartinof

BRI as a state-owned bank has an obligation to provide services and support for Thai Taipei for services to Indonesian citizens living in Taiwan. For this reason, today we are here to provide convenience for Taipei in transferring Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) to the State treasury account in real-time Online through the State Revenue Module or MPN Symponi," said Agus Noorsanto, quoted on Saturday, May 18.

BRI Taipei Branch is the 6th (sixth) foreign work unit after BRI New York Agency (BRI), BRI Cayman Island Branch (BRICIB), BRI Hong Kong Representative Office (BRI HKRO), BRI Singapore Branch (BRIG), and BRI Timor Leste Branch (BRITL).

In addition to providing services to Indonesian citizens in Taiwan, the bank coded as the issuer of BBRI views the opening of a work unit in Taipei as a strategic step for the company in reaching business in the East Asian Region. Taiwan is one of Asia's economic strengths and is a producer of Hi-Tech products such as semi-conductors, computers, and others.

The BRI Taipei Branch office which was inaugurated in 2021 was at No. 166, Sec. 3, Nanjing East Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan which is a strategic area in Taipei. BRI Taipei Branch will run a business with an operational permit as a Full Retail Foreign Bank Branch Office License in Taiwan.

With this license, BRI Taipei Branch can provide Savings, Loans, Remittance, Trade Finance, and Treasury services to customers in Taiwan. The main target of the BRI Taipei Branch business will target the Indonesian Diaspora located in Taiwan, the Indonesian Trade Related Business, to investors interested in opening businesses in Indonesia.

BRI's presence in Taipei is expected to be able to bridge investors from Taiwan to Indonesia. In recent years, Indonesia has been eyed by prospective Investors from Taiwan who want to invest in Indonesia, either directly or indirectly.

"In the future, we also hope to continue working with Taipei, especially in bringing investment into Indonesia. We plan that BRI Taipei can also become an investment gateway from Taiwan to Indonesia that can help investors invest both directly and indirectly. Moreover, in Indonesia, we already have a Foreign Direct Investment Unit that can specifically assist potential investors to open their business in the country," concluded Agus Noorsanto.
