Indonesian financial institutions drive literacy and inclusion initiatives

Various Indonesian financial institutions are implementing diverse strategies to enhance financial literacy and inclusion across the country. In the insurance sector, Generali Indonesia is expanding its agency network in Tangerang Selatan to address the gap between insurance literacy (45.45%) and inclusion (28.50%). Similarly, BRI Insurance and PNM have collaborated on educational programs in Pematang Siantar to help female entrepreneurs manage financial risks.

In the banking sector, PT Bank Riau Kepri Syariah participated in the 2026 Financial Inclusion Month in Riau to expand access to Sharia-compliant services. PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) has partnered with Jakarta Fashion Week 2027 to support fashion MSMEs through its BTN Fashion Lab program. Additionally, Permata Bank is promoting sustainable business practices via Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLL), which integrate ESG targets into corporate financing.

Professional development is also a key focus, with reports highlighting the growing role of women as financial advisors. Prudential Indonesia noted that 62% of its Million Dollar Round Table members are women, reflecting the industry's role in providing flexible career paths for women.
