More About Bank Central Asia
Bank Central Asia, also known as BCA, has been a key financial institution in Indonesia for generations. It was founded back in the mid-1950s, starting life as the ‘NV Perseroan Dagang Dan Industrie Semarang Knitting Factory’. The deregulation of Indonesia’s banking sector in the 1980s led to Bank Central Asia undergoing an expansion, with more and more branches opening across the country.
Come the 1990s, BCA unrolled ATM machines throughout Indonesia. Today, it has well over 1,200 branches and operates almost 18,000 ATMs, making it easy for people in Indonesia to receive rupiah sent from abroad. The bank also involves itself in the community, hosting webinars promoting the role of women in culture and business, and offering mentorship and business networking festivals for small and medium-sized enterprises.
