Bank bjb Syariah Partners with DMI Bogor Regency and iSalaam to Support Mosque Digital Transformation
Bank bjb syariah is fully supporting the mosque digital transformation initiative spearheaded by the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI) of Bogor Regency and iSalaam, demonstrating its commitment to advancing digitalisation in the religious sector.
The mosque digitalisation effort has received special attention from the central government through Chief of Presidential Staff Muhammad Qodari, who directly invited the stakeholders to the Presidential Palace for a socialisation session and presentation.
Present at the digitalisation programme presentation were DMI Bogor Regency Chairman H TB Irwan Kurniawan, iSalaam CEO Prof H Munawar Fuad, and Bank bjb syariah President Director Arief Setyahadi.
The mosque digitalisation agenda discussed included integrated mosque data collection — a comprehensive and verified database of all mosques in Bogor Regency. It also covers the digitalisation of administration and finance, namely the management of donations, infaq, zakat, and financial reporting through a transparent and accountable digital system.
Additionally, the programme encompasses sharia banking integration through synergy with Bank bjb syariah within the mosque financial ecosystem, as well as a congregation service platform and a mosque ecosystem based on community empowerment.
Bank bjb syariah President Director Arief Setyahadi said the mosque digitalisation transformation through collaboration with DMI Bogor Regency and iSalaam aims to shift mosque management from conventional methods to a more transparent and accountable system.
Through digitalisation, mosques under DMI’s umbrella are expected to manage finances, administration, and the distribution of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah (ZIS) more professionally.
“Mosques are not merely physical places of worship; they are also centres of civilisation and the community’s economy. With digital transformation, we open the door to transparency and easier access for congregations,” said Arief in a statement on Tuesday (24/2/2026).
According to him, Bogor Regency, which has thousands of mosques spread across various remote areas, is a crucial region for implementing mosque digital transformation as it will address the challenges of the times, where society is increasingly accustomed to the digital ecosystem.
With support from Bank bjb syariah, congregation trust is expected to increase as open financial reporting gives congregants greater confidence in channelling their contributions.
Administrative work will also become more efficient as mosque administrators will no longer be burdened by manual record-keeping that is prone to errors. Economic self-sufficiency will be strengthened as mosques can become centres of sharia-based economic empowerment for their surrounding communities.
“Bank bjb syariah continues to strive to be the primary partner in strengthening the sharia economy in West Java, particularly in ensuring that Islamic values remain relevant and competitive in the digital era,” said Arief.
iSalaam CEO Prof H Munawar Fuad expressed shared enthusiasm for continued synergy with the central government, regional governments, banking institutions, and all communities in prospering mosques and society through digital transformation.
“This is a form of collaboration between iSalaam, Bank bjb syariah, and the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI) Bogor that continues to progress and grow stronger,” explained Munawar.
DMI Bogor Regency Chairman H TB Irwan Kurniawan echoed these sentiments, having enlisted iSalaam and Bank bjb syariah to support mosque digitalisation in Bogor Regency, including in data collection.
“Hopefully this process can be completed in the near future. This is a very urgent need so that all mosques are properly documented,” said Irwan.
