tate-owned lender Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) has sealed a series of memorandums of understanding (MoU) with the Healthcare and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan) to widen the healthcare services network.

The partnership is expected not only to help boost the numbers of BNI customers and BPJS Kesehatan members, but also to increase people's financial literacy, said BNI institutions and transactions director Adi Sulistyowati during the signing event in Jakarta on Monday.

The publicly listed lender will open registration for BPJS Kesehatan agents to become Agen46, branchless banking agents, so that they can receive insurance premium payments through the bank's application.

The partnership will also cover the financing supply chain from BPJS Kesehatan's partners, especially hospitals, to accelerate patients' bills payments, Adi Sulistyowati said.

"We hope this [the cooperation] can improve service quality for BPJS Kesehatan's members," she said.

BPJS Kesehatan membership and marketing director Andayani Budi Lestari expressed a similar hope.

"As many as 171.9 million members made 194 million visits [to health facilities] as of December last year," she said. "This means this program is highly needed by the people." (bbn)
