rivate lender Bank Mayapada Internasional has secured official acknowledgement by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) for its status upgrade as a BUKU III bank.
The BUKU III category, one of four groupings that divide lenders based on the size of their core capital, consist of banks with core capital of between Rp 5 trillion (US$376.1 million) and Rp 30 trillion.
It is a notch above the BUKU II status that groups those with core capital of between Rp 1 trillion and Rp 5 trillion, in which Mayapada used to be categorized.
Mayapada’s status upgrade was officiated by an OJK official letter dated June 2.
The inclusion of Mayapada into the BUKU III category is a reflection of its shareholders' commitment to strengthen the lender's capitalization, the bank's official statement circulated on Friday reads.
