T
he government is cooperating with 10 financial institutions in the use of data included in the e-ID cards, which are being developed by the Home Ministry’s civil registration directorate general.
“This is a cooperation to use the citizen identity numbers (NIK) as well as other data in the e-IDs,” said the Home Ministry's civil registration director general Zudan Arif Fakrulloh as reported by tribunnws.com over the weekend.
The 10 financial institutions are state-owned PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia, PT Bahana TCW Investment Management, PT Bank Ganesha, PT Bank Maspion Indonesia, PT Federal International Finance, Sahabat Mitra Sejati Cooperatives, PT MNC Finance, PT Olympindo Multi Finance, PT Sahabat Finansial Keluarga and PT Toyota Astra Financial Services.

Mitra Sejati Cooperatives head Ceppy Y. Mulyana said his business would benefit from the cooperation because it would help officials in the cooperatives to maintain prudence in running the business.
“It will have [a positive] implication to help our businesses grow and at the same time to support the government's single identity program,” he said. (bbn)
