Rudy Tandjung, Consumer Banking Director, PT Bank DBS Indonesia said, "Since the joint financing collaboration between Kredivo and DBS Indonesia started in September 2020, we have always been committed to continuing to provide the best and innovative services to meet the growing needs of customers, especially in the distribution of financing loans to the Indonesian people. With the expansion of the limit of the cooperation scheme from IDR500 billion to IDR1 trillion, we hope to be able to reach wider society and increase financial inclusion."
