JAKARTA - PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk embraced PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) presenting the latest innovation in e'BataraPos savings to provide easy access to saving for the public while targeting additional hundreds of thousands of new customer accounts with a savings value of up to Rp3.5 trillion in 2021. .

President Director of Bank BTN Haru Koesmahargyo on the sidelines of the Ayo Menabung Campaign Launching and Rebranding of e'BataraPos Savings in Jakarta, Wednesday 30 June said, as a state-owned bank, BTN has an obligation to play a role in increasing financial inclusion.

One of the strategies carried out by the company is to cooperate with PT Pos Indonesia, which has closer access to the community with its office network spread throughout Indonesia.

"The Post Office network that reaches remote areas in Indonesia will make it easier for people to access to save at e'BataraPos. We hope that the wider and easier way to save can also increase financial inclusion in Indonesia, especially during this pandemic," Haru said, quoted from Antara. .

According to Haru, with the extensive network of Post Offices and the convenience of the e'BataraPos savings product, it will encourage people who have not been touched by banking services to open a savings account.

He said, in launching the savings, Bank BTN together with Pos Indonesia also held an auction program for the e'BataraPos Savings prize.

For customers who wish to participate in the auction, they are required to save through e'BataraPos with a minimum nominal fund of IDR 50 million which is saved for three months. The customer who wins the auction will later be entitled to attractive gadgets and precious metals.

On the same occasion, President Director of Pos Indonesia Faizal R Djoemadi said that the presence of e'BataraPos at the Post Office, which is closer to the community, is expected to remind the awareness of the younger generation to start learning to save, save, and invest in the future.

"Currently the e'BataraPos savings service is available at 2,935 Post Offices. Hopefully this program will also be able to increase the number of new savers, especially during this pandemic," said Faizal.

Meanwhile, customers can open e'BataraPos savings at online Post Office networks and Bank BTN throughout Indonesia with an initial deposit of only Rp. 50 thousand.

e'BataraPos Savings offers various conveniences, including free administration fees for a nominal value above IDR 1 million.

Customers can also make savings transactions on Saturdays and Sundays at certain Post Office outlets. The savings customers can also get BTN Visa Debit Card and mobile banking facilities.

In addition to holding prize auctions, Bank BTN also rebranded with new designs on passbooks, e'BataraPos savings ATM cards, and BTN service signs at Post Office outlets.

Meanwhile, as of May 31, 2021, Bank BTN recorded that it had accumulated e'BataraPos savings worth Rp. 2.27 trillion. Meanwhile, Bank BTN and Pos Indonesia themselves have long cooperated, starting in 1971.

At that time, the partnership between the two began with a savings account titled Tabanas, which transactions were carried out manually. Both of them also continue to innovate to present savings with an online system through e'BataraPos.
