Bank Jatim President Director, Busrul Iman, explained that the bank’s involvement in education goes beyond providing convenient and efficient payment solutions for tuition fees. Bank Jatim also engages in various strategic partnerships to improve the quality of education. “Our planned collaboration with Ubaya includes many initiatives. These involve opening and placing banking service offices, operating Bank Jatim service points to manage funds within Ubaya, placing a portion of Ubaya’s funds in Bank Jatim, holding activities aligned with the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, and supporting the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program,” he stated.
“In addition, we also plan to collaborate on human resource development and empowerment, provide career opportunities for Ubaya alumni to work at Bank Jatim (provided they meet the requirements), and offer financing programs for the institution, faculty members, and education staff in accordance with applicable regulations,” he added.
Busrul emphasized that with its extensive network and modern banking facilities, Bank Jatim is ready to provide students and parents with easy access to financial services that support the educational process. “We understand that quality education is key to enhancing national competitiveness in the global era. By supporting various educational initiatives, Bank Jatim aims to help create a better educational ecosystem where students and institutions can collaborate to build a brighter future,” he noted.
Through this partnership, Ubaya students are expected to gain valuable experience in the banking industry. For Bank Jatim, the collaboration is a tangible contribution to improving the quality of higher education in East Java and Indonesia as a whole. It is also expected to foster synergy between academia and industry, which can drive innovation and new programs that contribute to national economic development.
“With this synergy between Bank Jatim and Ubaya, we hope to optimize financial service management using Bank Jatim's digital solutions like JConnect, while leveraging the resources of both parties for mutual progress,” Busrul concluded.
