JAKARTA (JP): Bank Central Asia (BCA) signed an agreement on
Monday with real-estate broker Century 21 Indonesia to provide
customers with the option of paying for their real-estate
investments with BCA housing loans.

BCA said in a statement that before the agreement, Century 21
customers had to pay cash for their purchases.

"Besides giving value-added service to our customers, this
collaboration will also serve to expand lending and increase our
housing loan portfolio," it said.
