Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Khoirudin appealed to customers not to be provoked by the invitation to vacate Bank DKI accounts in the midst of the polemic of banking service disruption during the Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri period.

Khoirudin emphasized that the reaction of withdrawing mass funds from the regional development bank owned by the DKI Provincial Government could actually have a negative impact on regional finances.

"Don't follow the invitation to vacate the account. Because this is our asset, local government assets, DKI assets. Yes, people sometimes make mistakes, there are shortcomings. But don't do that, then the movement to vacate accounts at Bank DKI," Khoirudin told reporters, Thursday, April 10.

Khoirudin said that Bank DKI is the only BUMD that consistently provides the largest dividend for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Emotional steps such as massive withdrawals of funds are considered counterproductive.

"Bank DKI is a BUMD that can provide the best dividends so far, years. It's a shame if you get caught by a moment of emotion," he said.

"Don't because of that disappointment, we empty the account. That's our asset," he asserted.

On that occasion, Khoirudin also ensured that DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung had responded quickly to this issue by holding a meeting with the ranks of Bank DKI.

"The wise thing is to recognize and inventory the problem. We are not looking for who is wrong, but how to solve it," said Khoirudin.

Previously, interbank transaction services through Bank DKI ATMs had now returned to full operation, following the completion of the banking system maintenance process since March 29, 2025.

"Customers can now return to various transactions such as cash withdrawals, balance checks, cross-bank transfers (off-us), to bill payments," said Bank DKI President Director Agus Haryoto Widodo.

According to him, the recovery of the service follows the completion of the service system maintenance process as part of efforts to improve service quality and strengthen the transaction security system.

He emphasized that during the maintenance process, data security and customer funds remained the main priority of Bank DKI.
