Jakarta, September 4, 2021 – The momentum of national customer day is a special celebration for institutions/companies, including PT Bank Central Asia Tbk. (BCA). This special opportunity has increasingly encouraged BCA to always provide innovative services and products for customers, especially in the midst of uncertain condition. BCA understands that transaction security is a priority because most transactions are done digitally today.

BCA internet banking transactions recorded 33% increase from 750 million transactions to 1 billion transactions. Likewise, BCA mobile banking transactions rose 66% yoy from 1.41 billion times to 2.35 billion times as of June 2021.

This is to accelerate adaptation to digitalization which is increasingly supporting financial ecosystem to uphold the security and reliability of transaction services.
"We thank our customers for their trust and loyalty. BCA always prioritizes the security and convenience of customer transactions, by continuously improving the IT security system and the quality of other banking services. Efforts to create a safe and comfortable Indonesian digital banking ecosystem requires the collaboration from various parties. The security of digital transactions is a shared responsibility between banking service providers and users," said BCA President Director, Jahja Setiaatmadja.
Along with the rapid development of information technology, customers’ digital interaction with BCA has also increased. This is followed by the risks of technology crime, so that BCA continues to improve its IT security system. The development of BCA's IT security system is carried out with the aim of protecting data security and ensuring that IT systems can always be ready to serve customer transactions, including preventing and anticipating cyber-crime and fraud potential.
BCA implements security strategies starting from securing networks, applications, computer systems and data. All safeguards that have been carried out are aimed to securing data with the concept of Data Loss Prevention (DLP). To ensure transaction security, BCA applies additional security in the form of two-factor authentication to ensure that application access is performed by authorized persons.
To avoid banking crimes, BCA continues to educate customers to protect personal data, such as not providing PIN, OTP, or confidential and personal information to unauthorized parties. The following tips for transaction security are:
- Beware of persons acting on behalf of the Bank;
- Do not provide confidential data to any party, such as Personal Identification Number (PIN), One Time Password (OTP), Password, KeyBCA Response, Card Verification Code (CVC), Card Verification Value (CVV), or ATM card numbers;
