There are many ways to budget and manage your finances. One of the most common methods is the envelope method, where you separate and allocate funds based on categories. This way, you always know exactly how much money is available for each category and make your transactions more accurate.
In the past, this method involved using physical envelopes filled with cash. But now, you can apply the same budgeting system digitally in myBCA using the Rupiah Pocket feature.

Rupiah Pocket is a pocket savings feature in myBCA that lets you separate funds from your main account into dedicated pockets, making budgeting much easier. Funds stored in Rupiah Pocket do not incur any additional fees, and you can personalize each pocket’s name, category, initial deposit, and savings target. You can also lock the pocket so the funds cannot be used for transactions, yet still withdraw them anytime without penalties if needed.
