Project Description

 

The project, which bodes well with IFC’s financial inclusion agenda in Indonesia, involves a loan facility to PT. Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk. (“BTPN” or the “Bank”). The proceeds will be used to fund the growth of the Bank’s micro and small and medium enterprises (“MSMEs”) businesses and loans to women borrowers. This facility will in turn allow BTPN to increase access to finance for the segments of the population that are currently underserved. As the facility will have a longer tenor than usual deposits, the project will also help BTPN to strengthen its balance sheet structure by reducing its asset-liability maturity mismatch.

BTPN is a mid-size commercial bank in Indonesia and is a valued client of IFC since 2009. The Bank, which business model centers around financial inclusion, targets low income pensioners, MSMEs and women entrepreneurs at the base of the pyramid. Since 2014, the Bank has increased its focus on digitization and adoption of technology to increase banking outreach to people in remote areas.

Associated Advisory Engagement

BTPN has successfully concluded the 1st phase of Non-Financial Services (“NFS”) project and has recently signed the 2nd phase NFS advisory project with IFC, demonstrating BTPN’s strong commitment to enhance its SME businesses. Both phases are under the umbrella of project #597067 EAP WIN. The NFS advisory project aims to improve the quality of products and services offered by BTPN and to further strengthen the capacity of the SME customers of BTPN.
