        "content": "<p>Behind the pulse of economic activity in every corner of the nation\u2019s\nvillages, BRI continues to bring financial services ever closer to the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>Through its BRILink Agent network, BRI is not only expanding access\nto banking services but also fostering economic activity across remote\nparts of Indonesia. As of June 2026, BRILink Agents numbered 1.13\nmillion, serving communities in more than 60,753 villages.<\/p>\n<p>This role is reflected in the high transaction activity during the\nfirst half of 2026. BRILink Agents recorded more than 501 million\ntransactions with a sales volume of Rp 841 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>This achievement underscores the role of BRILink Agents as financial\nservice infrastructure that supports public economic activity, broadens\nfinancial inclusion, and strengthens the grassroots economy throughout\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The network, which extends widely into remote areas, serves as an\nimportant foundation for BRI to broaden the economic impact felt by the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem, BRI continues to\nstrengthen the role of BRILink Agents as the spearhead of expanding\nfinancial inclusion, empowering micro-enterprises, and equalising access\nto formal financial services.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the value creation generated is reflected not only in the\ncompany\u2019s business growth but also in increased economic activity and\npublic welfare across various regions.<\/p>\n<p>BRI Micro Director Akhmad Purwakajaya emphasised that the partnership\nmodel built through BRILink Agents applies a sharing economy concept\nfocused on community empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>Owners of small stalls, market kiosks, and ultra-micro businesses in\nremote areas are now not only assisted in terms of transaction\nconvenience but also have a promising new source of income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the momentum of commemorating the Independence Day of the\nRepublic of Indonesia, BRI interprets independence as an equal\nopportunity for every member of society to grow and develop, without\nbeing limited by geographic location,\u201d Akhmad said in a statement on\nTuesday (11\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>BRILink Agents have become one of BRI\u2019s mainstays in reaching the\ntransaction needs of communities in various regions.<\/p>\n<p>This network, he said, provides services that are easily accessible\nto the public and accelerates transaction processes, so that public\neconomic activity continues to run. This role positions BRILink Agents\nas drivers of the grassroots economy.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation of BRILink Agents continues to evolve. Agents have\nnow transformed into complete community service centres, ranging from\nbill payments, mobile credit purchases, insurance services, to loan\nreferrals.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, BRI will consistently continue to provide mentoring,\neducation on advanced feature utilisation, and loyalty programmes to\nensure these financial heroes in the regions continue to grow and become\nself-reliant.<\/p>\n<p>Through this inclusive network, BRI together with the public will\ncontinue to strengthen the pillars of national economic resilience,\nensuring that every inch of Indonesia can feel the pulse of progress and\nequitable prosperity.<\/p>",
