JAKARTA - PermataBank Syariah is committed to continuing to innovate in order to provide Sharia banking services that are more relevant, affordable and make it easier for Indonesians to carry out banking transactions. Among them by presenting the first Sharia PermataBank Branch Model in Indonesia which is located at the Al-Azhar University Building, Jakarta.
At the launch of the Model Branch which was conducted virtually Herwin Bustaman, as Director of PermataBank Syariah said, "The opening of this Model Branch is one of the expansion and transformation strategies for PermataBank Syariah branches which will continue in 2020 and the next few years."
The new PermataBank Syariah branch was created with a modern concept and appearance and provides consistent offline (with staff assistance) and online (self-service) banking services supported by various digitalized facilities through the latest technology offered by PermataBank.
The launch of the Branch Model is also in line with the growth in demand for Islamic banking in Indonesia which continues to increase from year to year, as evidenced by the growth of Sharia assets from July 2019 to July 2020 at 10%, this figure is higher than the growth of conventional banking of 5.7%.
Profits still grew by 2% where conventional banking declined by 19% in the same period. This phenomenon was also felt by PermataBank Syariah, which recorded a net profit growth of 226 billion in June 2020 - growing by almost 52% compared to June 2019. (LM)
