Good news for those of you who often shop on international e-commerce or marketplace platforms.

Starting July 15, 2025, you can use your Poket Valas balance in myBCA directly as a source of funds for Debit Online transactions. This means payments will be deducted from your foreign currency balance in Poket Valas without converting to rupiah.

For more information about Debit Online transactions and Poket Valas, contact Halo BCA via the haloBCA app or call 1500 888.

*Note: Make sure you have sufficient balance in your Foreign Currency Pocket to complete online debit transactions on international e-commerce or marketplace sites. If your balance is insufficient, the transaction will be declined. To avoid this, activate the "Foreign Currency Pocket Transactions with Main Account Debit" feature, so transactions can still be processed by deducting the funds from your main account.
