PT. BRI is a vigilance for customers

Kuningan, Controversinews | PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) which has been expected to be one of the trusted banks in storing money safely, is now faced with various problems. These conditions give rise to vigilance for customers and are in the spotlight of the Joint Communication Forum for Organizations/NGOs (FK-GOL).

The Chairperson of the Barracks, Nana Rusdiana, S.IP, said that there were a number of alleged cases in the BRI body, ranging from alleged corruption, ransomware attacks, to the problem of procuring EDC machines that are now handled by the KPK.

“This certainly triggers the concerns of customers. If it is not handled seriously, the BRI Bank has the potential to experience fraud or losses which will ultimately harm the country,” Nana said.

Nana also highlighted corruption cases in Kuningan, precisely in one of the BRI Ciawi Gebang units. In that case, BRI was allegedly suffered a loss of around Rp4.6 billion by involving Mantri and the head of the unit. Both are now prosecuted with a sentence of 7 to 15 years in prison.

“This case proves the great potential of the state loss due to the practice of corruption in BRI,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Gibas, Bung Manap, considered that the problem that occurred showed the weakness of the BRI internal supervision system.

“Weak supervision opens opportunities for abuse of authority and manipulation of customer data. If this is left unchecked, it can cause a crisis of public trust, especially in Kuningan, against BRI,” he concluded. ***
