2018 Bankaltimtara Target Attending in All Districts in Two Provinces This

Geographical factors and population distribution in a sub-district become obstacles faced by PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD) Kaltim-Kaltara (Bankaltimtara), in opening a new branch office. Head of Bankaltimtara Secretariat, Abdul Haris Sahilin, said that the presence of Bankaltimtara in sub-districts throughout Kaltim-Kaltara has reached 85 percent.

"In the 2018 business plan, we are targeting to be present 100 percent in every sub-district in Kaltim-Kaltara," said Haris. However, Haris admitted, there are about 5 percent of the total existing districts, it is impossible to build an office.

"Most geographical factors, no signal and population distribution. For example in Kutim, there are districts that Pemdanya say, more crocodiles than its citizens, "said Haris, with a laugh.

Most of the sub-districts with no Bankaltimtara office, said Haris, are located in the province of Kaltara. For example Malinau. Of the 16 sub-districts in the District bordering Malaysia, Bankaltimtara only present in seven districts only.

"If in East Kalimantan, almost everything already. Could be 90 percent. Most only Kutim remaining 4 districts. If Kukar, we are 100 percent. In fact, there is one sub-district more than one office, "said Haris.

Agents Smart, continued Haris, so a solution for the district that can not be reached by the office. "Next year we will add another 60 agents. Right now we have about 124 agents. By the end of 2016, we have 42 agents. Means in the last year quite a lot, "said Haris.

Haris also asserted, smart agent owned by Bankaltimtara is different from other smart agents of banking. "We're different. That is, our special agent is at a point that is not accessible to all banking offices. Including ourselves, "said Haris. (*)
