PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero), Tbk (BNI) was originally established in Indonesia as a central Bank under the name of “Bank Negara Indonesia” on July 5, 1946. Subsequently, BNI became “Bank Negara Indonesia 1946”, with the status of a State-owned Commercial Bank. Additionally, BNI’s role as a Bank was mandated to improve the people’s economy and participate in national development.
BNI as a State Owned Enterprise was the first to became a public company after listing its shares on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange in 1996. To strengthen its financial structure and competitiveness in the national banking industry, BNI conducted a number of corporate actions, including being recapitalized by the Government in 1999, Government share divestment in 2007, and a limited public offering in 2010.

PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk, commonly known as Bank BTN, is one of Indonesia’s oldest and most prominent financial institutions. Established in 1897 under the name Postspaarbank during the Dutch colonial era, the bank initially served as a savings institution for postal services. Following Indonesia’s independence, the bank was nationalized in 1950 and renamed Bank Tabungan Negara. Over the decades, Bank BTN has evolved into a full-service commercial bank with a strong focus on housing finance, playing a pivotal role in supporting the government’s housing development programs.
