PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI continues to strengthen its commitment to promoting the development of the digital finance ecosystem in educational environments, one of which is in collaboration with Al-Izhar School under the Yayasan Anakku. Recently, BNI participated in the organisation of the Melodia 2026 Al-Izhar Music & Art Charity Festival, which will take place on Saturday, 9 May 2026, at the Lapangan Perguruan Islam Al-Izhar Pondok Labu. On this occasion, BNI presented various programmes and digital finance innovations relevant to the needs of the younger generation and educational environments to strengthen financial literacy and the digital finance ecosystem in education. “Through involvement in Melodia 2026, BNI hopes to continue to be present in various positive activities that strengthen the creativity of the younger generation, social awareness, while accelerating digital transformation in educational and community environments,” said BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo in a written statement. While enjoying a variety of interesting activities such as Art & Music Performance, Charity Programme, F&B Bazaar, Traditional & Modern Dance, as well as special performances from Kahitna and Ten2Five, visitors can also open accounts through wondr by BNI and have the opportunity to receive rewards of up to Rp100,000 or an exclusive suitcase.

In strengthening the digital ecosystem, all merchant tenants at Melodia 2026 will use cashless payment systems through BNI QRIS. This step also serves as an educational medium for the younger generation and the public regarding the convenience, comfort, and security of non-cash transactions in daily life. BNI’s participation in the event further complements the implementation of financial services and solutions running in the operational scope of Al-Izhar School as a BNI customer through BNIdirect. With this, BNI’s digital financial services are expected to accommodate the transaction needs of the school, employees, and parents of students. “BNI is optimistic that collaboration with Yayasan Anakku and Al-Izhar School can continue to develop through the utilisation of integrated banking services that suit the needs of modern educational institutions while strengthening digital financial inclusion in Indonesia,” emphasised Okki.
