JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI transferred all banking services in Aceh to PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BSI.

This transfer is in line with the closure of BRI’s operations in Aceh, in order to follow up on the implementation of Qanun for Sharia Financial Institutions number 11 of 2018.

BRI Corporate Secretary Aestika Oryza Gunarto said, with the termination of BRI services, all portfolios and state-owned banking services have been transferred to BRISyariah, which is currently part of BSI.
