"We extend our gratitude to the shareholders, all customers, and stakeholders who consistently trust and support Bank Jakarta. This recognition marks an important milestone in our long-term commitment to sustainability as the key to building a resilient institution amidst global uncertainties," she expressed, Friday (10/17).
