BTN balé account blocked? Here's the official guide

Account Blocking

Jakarta - Blocking mobile banking accounts can happen at any time, including for Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) customers. However, there is no need to panic. BTN provides an easy, safe, and free recovery mechanism to help customers regain access to their digital banking services.

Why can the balé by BTN account be blocked?

Blocking the balé by BTN account is generally an automatic security measure to protect customer funds. The two main causes of blocking are incorrect MPIN input three times in a row or incorrect user ID and password input up to three times.

Two Official Routes for Opening the Block

BTN emphasized that there are only two official ways to unblock the balé by BTN account.

1. Visit the nearest BTN Outlet

Customers only need to bring the original valid National Identity Card (KTP) and BTN ATM/debit card to the nearest BTN outlet. Customer service officers will assist in the verification process and blocking can be completed on the same day.

BTN outlets operate Monday to Friday from 08.00-16.00 local time. Some outlets also serve on Saturdays from 08.00-12.00, and some are open on national holidays.

2. Contact BTN Call 24 Hours

For customers who have time or mobility limitations, BTN Call services are available 24 hours a day through the 150286 or 1500286 numbers at local call rates.

The process via telephone requires strict identity verification to ensure security. BTN Call agents will verify data and dig up information about the chronology of events experienced by customers. Furthermore, customers will receive a complaint ticket number as proof that the report has been officially received and will be processed in accordance with applicable regulations.

Beware of Fraudulent Modus Dimed Block Opening

The prevalence of cybercrime makes customers need to be extra vigilant. Criminal perpetrators often claim to be bank officers and ask victims to transfer funds or provide sensitive information such as PIN, MPIN, password, OTP code, or CVV.

BTN emphasized that the bank had never contacted customers through private WhatsApp, did not ask for a transfer of funds to unblock, and did not send suspicious website links.

Tips to Prevent Blocking in the Future

To avoid blocking the account later, customers are advised to use a combination of MPIN that is easy to remember but difficult for others to guess. Avoid using your date of birth or a combination of numbers that are easy to guess.

In addition, make sure to make a transaction at least once in six months so that the account remains active. Don't forget to always log out after completing the transaction and regularly update the balé by BTN application to the latest version to get the latest security features.

Commitment to Customer Data Security

BTN continues to be committed to protecting customer data security with the latest encryption technology. This government-owned bank is also active in educating customers about various fraud modes that continue to evolve.

Customers who experience security indications such as notification of unknown transactions, automatic logout without reason, or changes to profile data without knowledge, are requested to immediately contact BTN Call at 150286 or 1500286 and can visit the nearest BTN outlets.
