As part of the effort to make it easier for prospective pilgrims, continued Fadlul, BPKH already has an application that allows people to register for Hajj and make initial deposits digitally.

Through this application, users can also register for Hajj without having to visit a bank branch office or carry out a manual process.

"This achievement is a clear proof of our commitment to continue to provide the best service and financial solutions that are relevant to prospective pilgrims. We are very proud to be able to support BPKH in creating a better Hajj service ecosystem," he said.

Herry Hykmanto added that the award achieved was inseparable from the brilliant performance of UUS Danamon throughout 2024. Until November 2024, UUS Danamon became one of the national banks with the highest overall growth in Hajj registrants, amounting to 43 percent on an annual basis (YoY).

This significant growth also prompted UUS Danamon to win awards in the Best Young Hajj Registrant category, because 22 percent of the total Hajj registrants registered through UUS Danamon are those under 30 years of age. In addition, UUS Danamon is also one of the national banks with the highest overall growth in Hajj registrants, ranking the best nationally.

This product is designed to provide convenience for prospective pilgrims in meeting registration requirements, including the initial payment of the Hajj Implementation Fee (BPIH) of IDR 25 million. RTJH is directly connected to the Integrated Hajj Computerization System (SISKOHAT) belonging to the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, ensuring that customers get confirmation of the Hajj portion number directly.

In addition, this service also offers convenience of additional free of charge transactions through the Mastercard Electronic ATM network in Saudi Arabia, providing comfort for pilgrims.

The RTJH UUS Danamon product not only offers administrative convenience, but also provides a sense of security and transparency for prospective pilgrims. Prospective pilgrims who have met the financial requirements can open this account in all Danamon branches bearing the iB logo, including for registrants who are at least 12 years old.

According to Herry Hykmanto, the service and product innovation presented by UUS Danamon is a tangible manifestation of support for BPKH's vision and mission.

"We believe that the pilgrimage is a very meaningful spiritual journey. Therefore, UUS Danamon is committed to continuing to present products and services that not only facilitate prospective pilgrims, but also strengthen the spirit of sharia in every aspect of our operations," he added.

The implementation of the 2024 BPKH Banking Award is also a reflection moment for UUS Danamon to continue to improve service quality. With a focus on innovation, inclusiveness, and sustainability, UUS Danamon is determined to become a trusted partner in the pilgrimage of the Indonesian people. This commitment is in line with BPKH's goal to build an inclusive and sharia-based Hajj financial ecosystem, in order to support prospective pilgrims in realizing their dream of going to the Holy Land.

With these various achievements, continued Herry, UUS Danamon shows that the close collaboration between the Islamic banking sector and government institutions such as BPKH is able to provide real benefits for the community. In the future, UUS Danamon will continue to innovate and present the best Islamic financial solutions, ensuring that each prospective pilgrim gets optimal service in carrying out their worship.
