| Bank Kalsel expands financial access with 968 ADINK agents, bringing banking services closer to rural communities and supporting financial inclusion in South Kalimantan. |
Banjarmasin — Bank Kalsel continues to strengthen its commitment to expanding financial services access, reaching even the most remote areas. The regional development bank has now deployed a total of 968 Laku Pandai agents across South Kalimantan.
Bank Kalsel President Director, Fachrudin, emphasized that this initiative is part of the bank’s broader strategy to support national financial inclusion.
“We are committed to bringing banking services closer to rural communities,” Fachrudin said in Banjarmasin on Sunday.
He explained that the achievement aligns with the government’s mission and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in promoting equal access to financial services across Indonesia.
“This reflects Bank Kalsel’s consistency in ensuring financial services are accessible to all segments of society, including those living far from bank branches,” he added.
Strategic Role of ADINK Agents
Bank Kalsel’s Laku Pandai agents operate under the name ADINK (Agen Digital Inklusif Keuangan). These agents act as an extension of the bank, providing essential financial services directly within communities.
Through ADINK, residents can now access banking services without the need to travel long distances.
Key services include:
Opening savings accounts
Real-time cash deposits and withdrawals
Inter-account transfers
Bill payments (electricity, water, taxes, and more)
With the growing number of active agents, people in rural areas now have faster, easier, and more convenient access to financial services.
Boosting Local Economy and Preventing Illegal Finance
Beyond simplifying transactions, ADINK also plays a crucial role in improving financial literacy. This helps protect communities from illegal financial schemes, which remain a concern in many regions.
Additionally, more efficient financial transactions are expected to support local economic growth, particularly in rural areas.
Bank Kalsel believes that digital financial services through agents like ADINK are key to accelerating financial inclusion while strengthening community-based economic development.
