JAKARTA - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBRI) emphasized that all processes for applying for BRI's People's Business Loans (KUR) have never been carried out through online offers using unofficial links or social media. The company ensures that every KUR application process is only carried out by BRI officers and processed through BRI Offices.

BRI Corporate Secretary Dhanny said that the proliferation of KUR offers through short messages, digital links, and social media accounts is a modus operandi of fraud that misuses the BRI name.

"BRI has never offered or processed KUR applications online through unofficial links, personal accounts, or parties that have no connection with BRI. All KUR application processes are carried out only through BRI's official work units and processed directly by official BRI officers," said Dhanny, Tuesday, May 19.

Dhanny added that the public can access KUR submission services through Branch Offices, Assistant Branch Offices, BRI Units, BRI Teras, AgentBRILink, and BRI's official marketing personnel spread throughout Indonesia.

BRI also emphasized that the entire process of applying for KUR does not charge any fees at the beginning. Therefore, the public is urged not to easily believe in offers that promise quick disbursement with unreasonable conditions.

In addition, BRI reminds the public never to provide personal data or confidential banking data such as PINs, passwords, OTP codes, or other personal data to any party.

"Every request for confidential customer data can be confirmed as an indication of fraud. The public is expected to always verify information through BRI's official channels," added Dhanny.

BRI urges the public to only obtain information through official company channels such as the official BRI website, official BRI social media, and Contact BRI 14017/1500017.

"As part of the commitment to increase the security of banking services, BRI continues to strengthen financial literacy education and public awareness, as well as coordinating with relevant parties in following up on various fraudulent modes that misuse the company's name," concluded Dhanny.
