BCA Commits to Three Interim Dividend Distributions, First Instalment Payment Underway

PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) will distribute the first instalment of its interim dividend in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year. The distribution considers the company’s solid performance from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026, as well as its commitment to delivering added value to all shareholders. In the agenda item explanation regarding the appropriation of the company’s net profit at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on 12 March 2026, the Board of Directors informed that for the 2026 financial year, if financial conditions permit, the board with the approval of the Board of Commissioners may distribute interim dividends three times in 2026, planned on a quarterly basis. In connection with this, the company’s Board of Directors, with the approval of the Board of Commissioners, will implement the first interim dividend distribution in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year at Rp20 per share. BCA President Director Hendra Lembong stated that the first interim dividend distribution for 2026 took into account the company’s solid capital position, adequate liquidity, business development of the company and its subsidiaries, and well-maintained asset quality. Hendra Lembong also conveyed that subsequent interim dividend distributions are estimated to be paid out at the same nominal amount as the current quarter’s interim dividend, provided the company’s financial condition permits. As of March 2026, BCA posted loan growth of 5.6% year-on-year, reaching Rp994 trillion. The lending was supported by solid funding, with current accounts and savings accounts (CASA) totalling Rp1,089 trillion, growing 11.2% year-on-year. Total profit for BCA and its subsidiaries reached Rp14.7 trillion in the first quarter of 2025. The first interim dividend in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year will be taken into account against the final dividend amount for the 2026 financial year, which will be distributed following approval at the company’s AGM to be held in 2027.
