On that day, customers were able to make transactions at the BSI branch network and ATMs throughout Indonesia. Gradually, BSI Mobile services can also be accessed by customers with basic features.

The BSI banking service has had an error since last Monday (8/5). A number of customers also complained that they could not access mobile banking applications or ATMs.
