SURABAYA, July 12, 2024 – PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Timur Tbk (bankjatim) on Friday night (July 12) was awarded the Radar Surabaya Award 2024 as an innovative and expansive BUMD (Regional Government-Owned Enterprise). The award was presented at Hotel Vasa Surabaya by Radar Surabaya Director Lilik Widyantoro and was received by AVP of Corporate Communications of bankjatim, Bambang Supriadi.
Busrul Iman, the President Director of bankjatim, explained that this award from Radar Surabaya is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the entire bankjatim team in maintaining solid performance and consistently implementing various transformations. "We are very grateful and thankful for this award. We certainly hope this recognition can motivate bankjatim to continue innovating so that the company can grow sustainably and never stop giving its best for this country," he said.
Bankjatim is indeed consistently carrying out various innovations, especially in digital innovation, amidst the increasingly competitive banking industry. This is done to ensure that the company remains resilient even when faced with various disruptions. Therefore, according to him, focusing on digitalizing banking services is very helpful for the bank’s business to grow sustainably and assist the programs of local governments.
"Bankjatim now has JConnect, which makes it easier for all customers to conduct banking transactions anytime and anywhere. This is to accommodate the needs of people with high mobility and respond to the challenges of the technological disruption era," he explained.
Busrul acknowledged that JConnect has consistently shown positive performance every year. As of the first quarter of 2024, JConnect Mobile has 677,362 users, a 25.77% increase YoY. Meanwhile, the transaction volume reached IDR 4.9 trillion, growing 66.6% YoY. Additionally, JConnect QRIS BJTM has reached 151,404 users, a 113.74% increase YoY, with transactions totaling IDR 126.43 billion, up 173.84% YoY. Not stopping there, to maximize banking services in areas with large business potential, BJTM is also optimizing its services through Agen Jatim. In the first quarter of this year, the number of Agen Jatim grew 137.28% YoY to 8,815 users, with a transaction volume of IDR 18.78 billion.
"All of this indicates that JConnect has been well accepted among the public. We are committed to continuing to innovate to provide convenience for stakeholders to access and use JConnect," Busrul stated.
Moreover, bankjatim is also continuing to develop credit facilities based on digital services through the JConnect Loan app. Additionally, there is JConnect PRO, which makes it easier for prospective customers to open accounts online, JConnect Remittance for sending foreign currency from abroad to Indonesia, and many more.
Busrul emphasized that digital transformation and innovation are now an integral part of every decision-making process and business direction at bankjatim. It is no wonder that with the consistent transformation undertaken by BJTM, the company’s performance remains solid and continues to grow amidst the economic challenges. "We are committed to vigorously expanding collaborations and launching digital innovations to provide security and convenience for customers in transactions," he said.
To further strengthen digitalization, bankjatim is currently collaborating with each regional government (pemda/pemkot) in East Java to facilitate online payments. For example, tax payments can now be made online, the implementation of BI-Fast, Regional Government Transaction Electrification (ETPD), e-Samsat, and the application of Regional Government Credit Cards (KKPD). The growing range of services and features provided by bankjatim is expected to attract not only existing customers but also increase transaction values and the number of new customers.
On this occasion, Lilik also mentioned that the Radar Surabaya Awards 2024 event is part of the anniversary celebration of the online platforms within the Radar Surabaya Group, marking the 7th anniversary of radarsurabaya.id, the 4th anniversary of radarsidoarjo.id, and the 4th anniversary of radargresik.id. "In conjunction with the anniversary of the Radar Surabaya Group’s online platforms, we are giving awards to stakeholders who have trusted Radar Surabaya amidst intense media competition. We hope that this event will continue to foster synergy between the media and its partners and stakeholders for the progress of East Java," he concluded.
