JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority has said it will summon PT Bank Central Asia Tbk following the discovery of a Rp 70 billion, around $4.2 million, breach in client fund accounts. The regulator emphasized that consumer protection remains its primary concern as it seeks an official explanation from the bank.
Friderica Widyasari Dewi, the head of the supervision of financial services conduct, education, and consumer protection at the agency explained on Friday, Sept 26, 2025, that the authority would call the bank in for clarification.
“The key is that we must always put consumer protection first. Today we will summon the bank to provide an explanation of what happened yesterday,” Friderica, widely known as Kiki, said during the Ijtima’ Sanawi XXI 2025 in Jakarta.
Friderica noted that the agency, also known as OJK, has not yet determined whether sanctions will be imposed, saying the first step is to obtain a formal explanation from BCA. “We already know what occurred, but we want an official explanation since this has already been exposed by the police,” she said.
BCA has previously stated that its internal systems remain secure and that no customers have suffered financial losses. EVP of Communication and Social Responsibility at BCA, Hera F. Haryn, said the bank consistently applies multi-layered security standards and risk mitigation measures to safeguard client data and digital transactions.
Hera added that BCA is fully supporting an in-depth investigation by the affected securities firm. “We are committed to cooperating with all relevant parties, including regulators,” she said.
