Grobogan, October 25, 2016 - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) supports the culture of savings among students in order to optimize financial inclusion programs. The support was manifested by the Grand Launching of LAKU SimPel (Students Savings Financial Service) in Grobogan, Jawa Tengah. The event was also an effort to support the implementation of Presidential Regulation Financial Inclusion National Strategy (Perpres SNKI). The event was held on October 25, 2016 at Yayasan Sunniyah Selo, Grobogan. LAKU SimPel Grand Launching was officially opened by BNI Head of Business Development Purwodadi Main Branch Wahyu Hariatmanto.
“As a financial institution contributing in economic development and national prosperity, BCA fully supports Tabungan SimPel initiated by OJK. Students are the golden generation who must be encouraged to save as early as possible. With easy and simple requirements, low initial deposits, no monthly administration fees, and affordable minimum deposits, we believe that SimPel will be a student’s best friend in savings,” said Wahyu Hariatmanto.
Every Tabungan SimPel product in Grobogan will be sold through BCA LAKU (financial service) agents. BCA Tabungan SimPel targeted students in early childhood education, primary school, junior high schools, and high schools, who are under 17 years old and do not yet have an ID. The account will use the student’s name. Through Tabungan SimPel, students will be more disciplined in managing their money, develop a habit in savings, develop skills in how to prepare for their future, and introducing the banking world as early as possible.
The launching of LAKU SimPel was concrete proof of BCA’s support in various financial inclusion programs by Lembaga Jasa Keuangan (LJK/Financial Service Institution), including sales of financial products/services, education programs, and campaigns of financial inclusion programs. Previously, BCA and OJK, as well as other banks participating in the SimPel program, held an activation event for Tabungan SimPel Program in Bandung. To this date, the total number of students who have SimPel account in BCA is close to 7,000.
“Through the activation of Tabungan SimPel in Grobogan, we hope that students will trust their savings to our secured financial institution. It is time for students to develop a habit in savings and understand financial planning since an early age. We really hope that the number of students involved in Tabungan SimPel can increase in the future, so that students can manage their finances better in the future. In line with such hopes, we also will increase our service quality to become more convenient, and able to fulfill the needs of students as well as society, especially BCA’s loyal customers,” concluded Wahyu Hariatmanto.
Students opened Tabungan SimPel accounts through BCA LAKU agents during LAKU SimPel (Students Savings Financial Service) Grand Launching at Yayasan Sunniyah Selo, Grobogan (25/10). The launching of LAKU SimPel was a concrete proof of BCA’s support in various financial inclusion programs by Lembaga Jasa Keuangan (LJK).
