Savings campaign

Savings campaign

From Kompas

Before the 1999 school term ended, Bank Niaga conducted a savings campaign in a number of schools, among others, in SMU Negeri 81 Unggulan in East Jakarta. Apart from telling the students the advantages of saving, they also gave the students a chance to open savings accounts at Bank Niaga.

Many students took this opportunity gladly and my son was one of them. He deposited a sum of Rp 25,000, which was all the pocket money he had at that time.

Although that the year 2000 is coming to an end, there has been no follow-up to this savings campaign. Will there be a mobile unit coming to the school every month? The receipt of the first deposit is still well kept in my son's wallet as he has not received his savings book and does not know when he will. Bank Niaga has this motto for school students: "From now on I will take care of my financial matters myself". Unfortunately, they have not lived up to their words. We parents are still being troubled over this matter.
