Hariantono also added that as a pioneer in the banking sector in implementing open API in Indonesia through the 3S slogan, namely Sign up, Sandboxing, and Start your business, BNI has a complete number of API services and cooperation with the 3rd largest party in Indonesia. This feature reaches all segments of the digital business industry, including corporations, medium and small businesses, especially digital MSMEs.
