Digital Banking Impact on Cash Needs

The Rp21 trillion allocation represents a slight decrease from the Rp21.5 trillion recorded in the previous year's Nataru period ¹

. Hakim explained that this reduction is due to the significant growth in digital banking usage among consumers, which has made cash needs more efficient compared to previous years. Despite this, BRI remains committed to ensuring adequate cash availability to meet community transaction needs during the holiday period.

Enhanced Digital Services

To support transaction needs, BRI has been strengthening its digital services. The bank operates over 687,000 e-channel units as of September 2025, including ATMs, CRMs, and merchant networks spread across strategic locations ¹

. Additionally, BRI's Super Apps BRImo, which offers more than 100 features, is ready to support customer transactions. The bank also relies on its extensive network of approximately 1.2 million BRILink agents across Indonesia, enabling customers to perform various transactions such as bill payments, interbank transfers, cash deposits and withdrawals, e-wallet top-ups, and ticket purchases ¹
