JAKARTA - The Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) has prepared a process for payment of deposit guarantee claims and the implementation of liquidation of PT Bank Perekonomian Rakyat (BPR) Duta Niaga, which is located at Jl. Pangeran Natakusuma No. 80D, Pontianak City, West Kalimantan Province.

Secretary of the LPS Institute, Jimmy Ardianto, said that the process of paying claims for customer deposits and the implementation of bank liquidation was carried out after the BPR Duta Niaga permit was revoked by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) starting on December 5, 2024.

"To carry out the payment of claims for guaranteeing deposits from BPR Duta Niaga customers, LPS will ensure customer deposits can be paid in accordance with applicable regulations," he said in a statement to the media, Friday, December 6.

He added that LPS will also conduct reconciliation and verification of deposit data and other information to determine which deposits will be paid, reconciliation and verification will be completed by LPS no later than 90 working days, or until April 29, 2025.

The funds used to pay for the claim of guaranteeing deposits from BPR Duta Niaga customers are sourced from LPS funds.

Jimmy said that customers can see the status of their deposits at the BPR Duta Niaga office, or through the LPS website (www.lps.go.id) after LPS announced the payment of claims for the guarantee of BPR customer deposits.

"For bank debtors, they can still make installment payments or repay loans at the BPR Duta Niaga office, by contacting the LPS Liquidation Team," he explained.

Jimmy also appealed to BPR customers to remain calm and not be provoked or provoked to do things that could hinder the payment process for bank guarantee and liquidation claims, and not to trust parties who claim to be able to help manage claim payments for deposit guarantees with a number of rewards or costs charged to customers.

Furthermore, it is important for customers to know that there are still many BPR/BPRRS or other commercial banks that are still operating, so that later if BPR Duta Niaga customer deposits are paid LPS, they can transfer their deposits to other banks that can be reached by customers. Customers also do not need to hesitate to return to saving their money in banking because deposits at all banks operating in Indonesia are guaranteed by LPS.

"In order for customer deposits to be guaranteed by LPS, customers are encouraged to meet the 3T LPS requirements. The 3T requirement is recorded in bank bookkeeping, the deposit interest rate received by customers does not exceed the LPS guarantee interest rate, does not commit a crime that harms the bank," he concluded.
