JAKARTA - Residents who want to exchange money in the exchange booth car Article Slipi must register online first so that they can be served.
"So now we have to register online first. It can't be like before and we immediately bring money to be exchanged," said Slipi Market Head Rudi Hendriawan, Antara, Wednesday, April 12.
Online registration aims to prevent a buildup of queues in mobile service cars.
In addition, online registration can also speed up the exchange of money at the location because residents have included the value of the money exchanged along with the denominations.
The mobile car itself provides denominations of IDR 10,000, IDR 5,000, IDR 2,000, IDR 1,000, and IDR 20,000.
So far, Rudi assesses that residents are quite enthusiastic about the money exchange service. It can be seen from the crowds of residents who come for three days of service.
During those three days, Rudi also admitted that the escort process was carried out strictly by the police and security officers in the market.
"If there is still a lot of demand, maybe tomorrow there will be another money exchange service," he explained.
Previously, Bank Indonesia (BI) did not recommend residents exchanging money at seasonal money exchange sites which usually held stalls on the side of the road during Ramadan.
"We hope that with BI's increasing money exchange activities, people can switch," said Director of the Deputy for Bank Indonesia Money Management Ameriza Moesa, the West Jakarta Mayor's office, Wednesday, April 5.
According to Ameriza, currency exchanges in BI are more secure in terms of security and services. The money exchanged in BI service cars is confirmed to be genuine with the right nominal.
The money exchange service is done free of charge so that residents no longer need to spend additional money as usual in the practice of exchanging seasonal money.
In addition, during this month of Ramadan BI has also opened mobile money exchange services in all areas of DKI Jakarta.
Currently, BI has opened mobile services at the Hasyim Asy'ari Mosque, West Jakarta, Al Azhar Mosque, South Jakarta Istiqlal Mosque, East Jakarta At-Tin Mosque and North Jakarta Islamic Center.
