Jakarta, 24 February 2023 - Booking tickets and choosing the best seats when you want to watch movies in theaters is now easier through smartphones. Responding to the digital needs of consumers, PT Bank Central Asia Tbk collaborates with Cinema XXI in providing easy access to experience in-theater movie experiences via Sakuku. Through this collaboration, customers can easily purchase tickets without waiting in line and can even select the best seats in the house.
Sakuku, which is a form of digital currency, enables customers to make various transactions such as paying for shopping using QRIS, purchasing phone credit and data packages, and more. As a result of this partnership, Sakuku can now be utilized as a payment method for transactions conducted on the m.tix app.
Enabling Sakuku on the m.tix app allows users to transfer their m.tix balance to Sakuku balance. This integration enables customers to purchase movie tickets and food/drinks at XXI without the need to switch between different apps. Additionally, users can top up their Sakuku m.tix balance without any administration fees. Sakuku Plus members can also benefit from the cash-out feature (cardless cash withdrawals) and enjoy a smooth cashless shopping experience with the QRIS feature, making transactions hassle-free.
BCA SVP Transaction Banking Business Development Dody Santosa Iswan said, "BCA realizes that the public's need for entertainment is now increasing and becoming a trend, following the recovery of communal activities after the pandemic. To cater to these needs, the company is making it easier to purchase movie tickets through a single payment ecosystem in collaboration with Cinema XXI, one of the country's top movie providers."
Dody further hopes that loyal BCA customers can always use Sakuku as a means of payment to support the non-cash movement and a cashless society. As of December 2022, Sakuku BCA users have reached around 1.8 million users.
In conjunction with BCA's 66th birthday celebration, which is just around the corner, the company will offer several enticing promotions that will benefit movie enthusiasts from February 21 to 26, 2023. Specifically, BCA will provide double advantages, including e-vouchers that offer a 30% discount on movie tickets with a maximum value of Rp20,000 and e-vouchers that offer popcorn purchases for only Rp6,600, exclusively for users who activate Sakuku at m.tix by 23 February 2023. Additionally, until 26 February 2023, customers who use Sakuku can receive a 66% discount on ticket purchases, with a maximum discount of Rp25,000. All of these promotions are available to Sakuku users.
"We express our gratitude to Cinema XXI for choosing to collaborate with us and allowing us to become part of the ecosystem of one of the biggest movie entertainment service providers in the country. Our hope is that this partnership will contribute to the development of the entertainment industry, providing added value for Cinema XXI fans as well as Sakuku users," concluded Dody.
