Bank DKI Distributes Social Assistance to Fulfill Basic Needs to 219,252 Recipients

Jakarta - As a facilitator for the distribution of social assistance to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov), Bank DKI distributed social assistance to fulfill basic needs (PKSD) to 219,252 beneficiaries, with details of Jakarta Elderly Cards (KLJ) as many as 171,010 people, Jakarta Children's Cards (KAJ) as many as 27,352 people and Jakarta Disability Cards (KPDJ) as many as 20,890 people, which was symbolically carried out by the Provincial Governor DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, accompanied by the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Province, Rano Karno, Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service, Premi Lasari, and Main Director of Bank DKI, Agus H. Widodo, at the Great Hall of the City Hall of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government on Tuesday (25/3).

"Providing PKD social assistance is our (DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's) commitment and promise to the people of DKI Jakarta Province, without exception. We hope that this assistance will not only ease the economic burden but also improve the quality of life for the beneficiaries," said Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Rano Karno.

KLJ, KAJ and KPDJ social assistance (bansos) disbursement of IDR 300 thousand per month to each beneficiary is given for three months at a time, namely January, February and March. Disbursement in the first stage in 2025 will be carried out in March.

"In the first stage, aid is given for three months, namely January, February, March. Because usually regional treasuries only come in these months. God willing, starting in April, all aid recipients will be handed over every month. So that aid recipients will no longer have contact with mobile banks," said Rano.

On the same occasion, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Social Service, Premi Lasari, explained that the selection of beneficiaries was carried out strictly based on Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS). In stage 1 in 2025, the beneficiaries are existing recipients in stage 4 in 2024 who passed verification. This selection takes into account several indicators, such as matching population data from Dukcapil, asset ownership from Bapenda (car or NJOP above IDR 1 billion), status in a social institution, as well as recipients of social assistance from the APBN such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT).

He further explained that residents can check the status of their social assistance via the website www.siladu.jakarta.go.id or go directly to the sub-district office to meet the social worker. Apart from that, the public can also come to the Social Welfare Data and Information Center (Pusdatin Kesos) office.

In line with this, the Main Director of Bank DKI, Agus H Widodo, emphasized Bank DKI's commitment to continue to provide maximum support for the distribution of digitalized social assistance programs based on electronic cards. It is also easier for aid recipients to carry out various financial transactions through integration with the JakOne Mobile digital banking application.

Agus explained, JakOne Mobile allows beneficiaries to manage and monitor aid received digitally, facilitate non-cash transactions, and access various other banking services. "Through support for the distribution of social assistance, Bank DKI plays a role in distributing assistance while actively contributing to strengthening financial inclusion and advancing the quality of life of the people of Jakarta, as well as creating a more prosperous and competitive city of Jakarta," explained Agus.

Bank DKI Corporate Secretary, Arie Rinaldi also appealed to all beneficiaries to always be careful and alert when carrying out financial transactions, especially not to give PINs to other people on behalf of Bank DKI.

If beneficiaries need further information, they can contact Bank DKI Call Center Service at (021) 1500-351.
