Bank Indonesia Currency Exchange Booking Quota Exhausted for Java Region

Bank Indonesia (BI) opened registration for Period 2 currency exchange bookings on 24 February. However, by Friday morning, 27 February 2026, the quota had already been completely exhausted.

Based on monitoring by Kompas.com of the Pintar BI application at pintar.bi.go.id at 10:30 WIB, the new currency exchange quota for Java Island has been filled. The Pintar BI application waiting room page displayed the message: “The quota for Period 2 currency exchanges in the Java Island region has currently been fulfilled (fully booked).”

Kompas.com confirmed this with BI’s Head of Communications Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, including inquiring about the possibility of additional quotas. However, no response has yet been received.

For context, BI currency exchange bookings have been conducted in two periods: 13 February and 24 February until the quota was exhausted. Members of the public who have successfully completed bookings through the Pintar BI application can proceed with currency exchanges at the selected locations and dates.

The currency exchange schedule will run from 28 February to 15 March 2026. Individuals must book through the Pintar BI application, as BI does not permit go-show or walk-in currency exchanges without prior reservation.
