BANDA ACEH - President Director of Bank Aceh Muhammad Syah stated that the placement of the Mandiri Cash Platform (ATM) infrastructure in Pulo Aceh District, Aceh Besar District has become one of the priority agendas of Bank Aceh's business plan in 2023.
"The study process and verification have been carried out. God willing, in the near future, ATM operations can be used for people in Pulo Aceh," he said in Banda Aceh as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 14.
The statement was made in response to the request of the Acting Regent of Aceh Besar to build an ATM on the outermost island of Aceh Province.
He explained that the presence of ATMs on the island in addition to encouraging economic activity is also a commitment of Bank Aceh in contributing to financial inclusion and literacy, especially in the archipelago.
Currently, Bank Aceh already has 396 ATM Tarik Tunai and Deposit Tarik scattered throughout Aceh, Medan and Jakarta.
"The presence of this ATM will increase the acceleration of financial services for the entire community," he said.
