BRI Prepares Rp25 Trillion in Cash to Meet Customer Transaction Needs During Eid al-Fitr 2026 Period
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BRI, has prepared Rp25 trillion in cash to meet the transaction needs of the public during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2026 period. The allocation has been adjusted according to projected demand and the increase in digital transactions.
During a BRI Press Friends Iftar event held in Jakarta on 10 March, BRI Operations Director Hakim Putratama explained that the availability of Rp25 trillion in cash is projected by BRI to anticipate public transaction needs during the 7-day holiday period on 18–24 March 2026. BRI also ensures that cash distribution is carried out optimally while considering the needs of work units and regions experiencing increased economic activity during the extended holiday period.
He explained that this year’s cash requirement can be calculated more efficiently with the rising preference of the public for digital transactions. For reference, during the Eid al-Fitr 2025 realisation period, BRI’s cash requirement was recorded at Rp26.5 trillion.
“BRI projects the cash requirement for the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2026 period at Rp25 trillion, adjusting to the rising trend of digital transactions preferred by the public. This figure is lower than the realisation in the previous year during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2025 of Rp26.5 trillion, in line with a 3% year-on-year decrease in cash withdrawal transactions. Nevertheless, we continue to ensure adequate cash availability so that public transaction needs remain fulfilled during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2026,” said Hakim.
This series of measures is carried out as BRI’s preparedness in anticipating the surge in public cash demand during the momentum of Eid al-Fitr 2026. The provision of liquidity is also part of the company’s strategy to ensure the smooth conduct of economic activities and maintain the quality of banking services at optimal levels during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr period.
The reliability of service systems is also a priority for the company so that customers can transact comfortably and securely. All BRI banking service networks, including the Super Apps BRImo which offers more than 100 features, are ensured to be ready to support customer transaction needs with ease whenever required.
In addition, BRI is also optimising the e-channel network as part of strengthening electronic transaction services, which includes 19,657 ATMs and CRM, 284,670 merchant EDC terminals, and 276,717 BRILink EDC. On the other hand, BRI is also optimising the network of 1.2 million BRILink agents spread throughout Indonesia, so the public can continue to transact safely and easily.
