JAKARTA – PT Bank Mandiri Tbk (BMRI) has allocated IDR 31.6 trillion in cash to meet the public's needs during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2025, marking a 5.9% increase from the previous year.

M. Ashidiq Iswara, Corporate Secretary of BMRI, stated that most of this fund will be used for ATM replenishment, which is projected to reach IDR 48.6 trillion throughout the Ramadan and Eid period this year.

"BMRI is also optimising the replenishment of 12,905 ATM/CRM units connected to the ATM Link, ATM Bersama, ATM Prima, and Visa/Plus networks across Indonesia," Iswara said in an official statement on Friday (14/3).

In addition to cash, BMRI is enhancing its digital transaction services by optimising 264,000 EDC machines and the Livin’ by Mandiri app, ensuring smooth transactions for customers during the long holiday period.

“To support the smooth operation of BI FAST, BMRI has prepared additional liquidity in the Settlement Fund Account (RSD) to anticipate transaction surges,” he added.

In line with Bank Indonesia's (BI) policy, BMRI is also providing services for exchanging small denomination currency (UPK) for the public. Orders can be made via BI Pintar with the option to select the bank location and the desired amount of money.

To ensure smooth services during Ramadan and Eid, BMRI has also formed an IT monitoring team that will be on standby throughout the holiday period.
