OJK Rejects Mardigu and Helmy Yahya for Bank Bjb Commissioner Positions

Comprehensive Fit and Proper Test Conducted

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regional Office 2 for West Java has clarified the results of the fit and proper test for Mardigu Wowiek Prasantyo and Helmy Yahya, who were nominated as commissioners of Bank Bjb. Yuzirwan, Director of Supervision of Financial Services Behavior, Education, Consumer Protection, and Strategic Management at OJK West Java, stated that the assessment was conducted comprehensively in accordance with OJK's authority and regulatory framework.

Background of the Nomination and Rejection

Mardigu was appointed as Independent Commissioner and Helmy Yahya as Independent Commissioner at Bank Bjb's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) on April 16, 2025. However, their appointments were subject to OJK's approval following the fit and proper test. The OJK assessment covers various aspects to ensure the candidates can lead the bank towards progress and good governance.

Next Steps for Bank Bjb

Following the rejection, Bank Bjb will need to re-nominate candidates to fill the vacant commissioner positions through another AGMS. The process will involve submitting new candidates' documents to OJK for assessment, which typically takes about 30 working days after complete submission. Yuzirwan emphasized that the process will follow the established regulatory framework, ensuring compliance with existing financial services regulations.
