PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI continues to strive to be closer and become the first choice of loyal merchant partners in transactions. Together with Jaringan Prima, BNI held the BNI Wonderful Movie Day 2024 event on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at XXI Senayan City, Jakarta, as a form of appreciation for BNI's loyal merchants.
BNI Wonderful Movie Day 2024 was attended by Director of Digital and Integrated Transaction Banking, Hussein Paolo Kartadjoemena, and Retail Digital Solution SEVP Rian Eriana Kaslan, along with more than 630 participants, ranging from cashiers to directors, who came from various business sectors, such as groceries, F&B, hospitals, hotels, beauty clinics, and other retail industries.
This event is an annual agenda as an appreciation for the increase in transactions from all merchants who have loyally worked with BNI. Through this event, BNI management has the opportunity to meet directly with the management and merchant representatives. “The event aims to strengthen the relationship between BNI and merchants, and encourage merchants to make BNI the first choice in transactions,” said Paolo.
As one of the leading financial institutions in Indonesia, BNI is committed to giving partners and customers the greatest possible service. This accomplishment would not be possible without the cooperation of merchants who make BNI a partner in digital transaction services. Up until October 2024, BNI recorded a minimal 27% increase in merchant transactions and a very notable nominal 208% increase in QRIS transactions over the prior year.
This momentum was also used by BNI to encourage the adoption of QRIS-based digital payments in various business sectors. On July 5, 2024, BNI introduced Wondr by BNI, an innovation that facilitates more straightforward and practical QRIS transactions and is backed by a number of alluring promotions at BNI merchants.
BNI continues to innovate with various solutions, including Android EDC, acceptance of new principals American Express and UnionPay, easy transactions with BNI ECR, Sameday Settlement QRIS BNI 3 times a day, BNI Merchant App, and contactless transactions for all card principals.
In alignment with Bank Indonesia's steps in accelerating digital transformation in the payment sector, BNI will soon launch QRIS Tap, an innovation that will make it easier for businesses and consumers to make digital transactions more practical and secure.
BNI management expected that this event will provide an opportunity to improve ties with BNI merchants who have been loyal to make BNI a means of payment. “With increased collaboration and closer engagement between BNI and merchants, it is hoped that a solid partnership will be created, providing mutual benefits, and encouraging sustainable growth between BNI and business partners,” said Paolo.
