JAKARTA - PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk (BNLI) launched Kartini Loan, which is a financing solution for women entrepreneurs in Indonesia, in order to welcome Kartini Day today, Monday, April 21, 2025.

This initiative is a continuation of banking solutions that have been previously present for sustainable business, namely Giro Kartini, a demand account specifically for female entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

CIMB Niaga Head of Emerging Business Banking (EBB) Tony Tardjo, in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, explained that the company is ready to provide support for women entrepreneurs in Indonesia to work in developing their business.

This is a tangible form of CIMB Niaga's commitment to supporting the achievement of business sustainability, especially in terms of women's empowerment. We believe that through this program, women business actors can gain easier, more affordable, and inclusive financial access," Tony said.

He explained that Kartini Loan offered financing free of administrative costs in the first year, as well as competitive interest rates.

Meanwhile, this program applies to individual female entrepreneurs, as well as business entities that are led or owned by the majority by women.

"Together with Giro Kartini, female entrepreneurs can enjoy competitive giro/manibah services," said Tony.

Furthermore, Kartini Loan & Giro Kartini's solution is equipped with easy access to digital services for various transactions at any time and anywhere through OCTO Mobile, OCTO Clicks, and BizChannel@CIMB.

Kartini Loan strengthened the company in a sustainable business, following the success of the Sustainability Linked Loans, Sustainability Market Linked Deposit, Green Mortgage, Green Sukuk Investment, and other programs.

Throughout 2024, sustainable financing will reach IDR 59.1 trillion, or 26 percent of the company's total financing.

" Sustainability is one of the main priorities for CIMB Niaga in running a business, by synergizing economic, environmental, social, and governance considerations in every banking process," said Tony.

The launch of this program is part of the company's commitment to sustainable financing, in line with the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) No. 51/POJK.03/2017 and the CIMB Niaga business sustainability pillar.
