JAKARTA: A branch of city-owned Bank DKI is staying open late seven days a week until 10 p.m. during Jakarta Fair 2005 to facilitate visitors to the fair in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

The bank is also providing 24-hour ATM services at the Niaga Center in Kemayoran, which can also be availed of by customers of other banks who have access to ATM Bersama.
