PT Bank Neo Commerce Tbk (BBYB), or BNC, has reshuffled its management, including the position of president director. The digital bank, which is part of Akulaku Group, held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in Jakarta on Thursday (29 October 2026).

At the meeting, shareholders approved the appointment of Christian Lesmana as president director, replacing Eri Budiono, whose resignation was also approved. Shareholders also approved the appointment of Yosea Iskandar as compliance director.

Both appointments will take effect after approval from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) following fit-and-proper assessments, and after the candidates meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

While Christian Lesmana’s appointment as president director awaits formal approval, the company will be led on an interim basis by acting president director Adrian Soewardjo.
