ustomers of state-owned lender Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) are receiving notifications from the bank over their debit cards having been deactivated to prevent them from falling victim to ATM skimmers.

Bambang said as quoted by kontan.co.id that customers who received text messages could replace their cards free of charge on Saturday at 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
