Jakarta, 23 July 2026 - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) has once again held the BCA Young Community (BYC) Fest, an annual event for young business players to network, collaborate, and gain insights on various topics from numerous speakers. At BYC Fest 2026, BCA also launched the latest version of the BYC App, a dedicated application for BYC members featuring a variety of business collaboration features.
BYC is a community open to young BCA Solitaire and Prioritas customers (aged 18–35 years old), as well as the next generation of BCA Solitaire and BCA Prioritas customers. At this event, BYC members had the opportunity to explore business ideas and opportunities, as well as build partnerships with business players from various regions and sectors.
Vice President Director of BCA John Kosasih stated that BYC Fest is a reflection of the company's commitment to helping business players survive and grow sustainably by relying on collaboration with various parties.
“BCA is committed to accompanying the younger generation in navigating a dynamic business landscape. BYC is a platform that we can optimize to assist the business growth of its members, as well as create a positive impact on society and the country. Through this event, BYC aims to create a space for all members to get to know one another better, while opening up greater opportunities for collaboration for mutual progress in the future,” said John Kosasih.
BYC Fest 2026 featured a number of inspirational figures from various industries to share their experiences and insights. These figures included:
- Vice President Director of BCA Armand W. Hartono
- Vice President Director of BCA John Kosasih
- Director of BCA Haryanto T. Budiman
- Governor of North Maluku Sherly Tjoanda
- Comedian & Filmmaker Ernest Prakasa

- Co-founder of ParagonCorp & CEO of NSEI ParagonCorp Salman Subakat
- Co-founder & COO of HMNS Perfume Amron Naibaho
- President Director of VIVERE Group William Simiadi
In addition to educational sessions, the event was enlivened by dozens of curated business booths owned by BYC members. The presence of this exhibition stands as proof of BCA's commitment to supporting the growth of local MSMEs so they can advance to the next level, while helping drive the wheels of the economy and creating new jobs.
Aside from talk show sessions and a business exhibition, BCA also officially launched a new version of the BYC App to strengthen connectivity among community members. A comprehensive update was made to the technological infrastructure to facilitate communication, interaction, and business collaboration among members digitally and seamlessly.
“We at BCA believe that the key for a business to survive and grow sustainably lies in two main things: strong collaboration and proper technological adaptation. Without collaboration, it will be difficult for a business to adapt, let alone grow. If technology is ignored, business players will go nowhere and will slowly be eroded by the passage of time,” said John Kosasih.
Through the consistent annual organization of BYC Fest, BCA hopes to continue supporting the growth of an adaptive, innovative generation of young Indonesian entrepreneurs capable of creating added value for society through sustainable collaboration and business development.
