Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Banten Tbk (BEKS) stated that it is in the process of developing digital services in collaboration with Amazon.com’s subsidiary, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
BEKS President Director, Agus Syabarrudin said, this collaboration is an effort made by this BPD bank to provide digital services. This cooperation has also been included in the Banten bank’s business plan, which is targeted to be realized this year.
“Our RBB has included a digitalization plan, so I hope that all preparations are in line with existing regulations, we can launch it soon, we are currently rolling to prepare the infrastructure,” said Agus, when contacted by CNBC Indonesia, Friday (16/7/2021).
As for the consideration of choosing AWS, a company engaged in the business of providing web services, cloud computing and APIs, the company is always open to parties who have competence and capabilities.
However, Agus has not detailed the amount of capital expenditure investment allocated for this collaboration, but it has been included in the company’s information and technology (IT) capital expenditure budget.
“In principle, for us to cooperate with third parties, it is open, as long as we have the competence and capability that can support our plans,” he said.
