Hoax! Elderly over 60 cannot withdraw cash at ATMs
Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A video post on the social media platform TikTok claims that elderly individuals (lansia) aged over 60 will no longer be able to withdraw cash from ATM machines starting 1 April 2026 due to a new government regulation. The post also features a figure purported to be the Finance Minister announcing the policy. The following narrative appears in the post: “Starting 01 April, those over 60 might fail to withdraw cash at ATMs due to new regulations? Today Friday, 27 March 2026.” However, is it true that the elderly cannot withdraw cash from ATMs starting 1 April 2026? Explanation: Based on investigations, no official policy from the government, banking institutions, or credible media reports has been found stating any restrictions on cash withdrawals at ATMs for the elderly. The photo in the post is identical to a clip from this press conference on the economic situation, not an announcement of transaction restriction policies. Additionally, checks show that the voice in the video is the result of artificial intelligence (AI) manipulation. Therefore, the claim that the elderly cannot withdraw cash from ATMs starting 1 April 2026 is untrue information or a hoax.
