JAKARTA - President Director of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BSI) Anggoro Eko Cahyo stated that this year's sacrificial transactions through the BYOND platform reached IDR 2.5 billion, in collaboration with 25 official zakat amil (LAZ) institutions.
"If the data in BYOND is currently Rp. 2.5 billion. So, if we look at it compared to last year, it has doubled in total," he said, quoting Antara.
Until now, as members of the community, they questioned where the appropriate and appropriate place in the syariat to carry out the slaughter of sacrificial animals. The existence of BSI is considered to make a person not have to worry about this issue, because it must be bought and cut at the animal house according to the syariat.
In addition to BYOND, the public also accesses the purchase of sacrificial animals using the BSI Hasanah Card with transactions approaching Rp. 20 billion. This access provides a variety of prices for sacrificial animals ranging from Rp. 1.9 million for goats, which are considered to be the main trigger for high community participation.
Anggoro conveyed that the essence of Islamic banking is to create a balance between business performance and a real social impact for the community.
According to him, the positive performance achieved by BSI must be proportional to the increase in the volume of ZISWAF (zakat, infak, sedekah, and wakaf), so that the benefits can be felt directly in improving the welfare of the people, one of which is through the equitable distribution of sacrificial animals.
This year, BSI has prepared 24,053 sacrificial animals to be distributed throughout the country, including the 3T areas (behind, ahead, and outermost), as part of welcoming Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriah. In detail, the 24,053 sacrificial animals consist of about 1,000 cows and 23,000 goats.
This number is up 57 percent compared to last year which was recorded at 15,272 heads, so the total nominal sacrifice disbursed was Rp. 67.8 billion.
This great achievement is considered to be in line with the acceleration of digital transformation that the company continues to build.
Through the BYOND by BSI application and BSI Hasanah Card financing card, his party stated that it facilitated the community to perform the Eid al-Adha with greater ease, safety, and reliability.
"Of course we hope that all people who are BSI customers can continue to use BYOND as a social friend and spiritual friend. Maybe until now they have used BYOND to be active in banking as a financial friend, but indeed our spirit is BSI as a financial friend, social friend, and spiritual friend," said Anggoro.
