Bank Mega Syariah’s Hajj savings exceeded Rp336 billion by June 2026, growing about 5.1 percent from the position at the end of 2025. The increase points to stronger public interest in preparing pilgrimage funds early.
President Director Yuwono Waluyo said the bank wants customers to prepare both their intention and financial capacity for Hajj through careful planning. “For us, growth does not stop at achieving performance figures. Growth must also be translated into benefits that people can feel,” he said at the “Di Antara Doa Vol. 1” event at Jami Bintaro Jaya Mosque in South Tangerang.
The bank is promoting early Hajj preparation through its GenHajj campaign, which carries the slogan “Hajj Made Easy for Every Generation.” Its Hajj Savings iB account is available to adults and children, requires a relatively small initial deposit and carries no monthly administration fee. The service also connects online to the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Integrated Hajj Computerized System, or Siskohat, to facilitate Hajj quota registration.
Bank Mega Syariah and the CT ARSA Foundation are also running the MeSya Berbagi Berkah program. It encourages customers to combine saving or investing with charitable giving through zakat, infak, sedekah and waqf. The religious event formed part of the bank’s 22nd anniversary celebrations and drew about 1,500 participants. The bank plans to hold similar gatherings regularly at mosques, featuring religious teachers and speakers relevant to local communities.
For us, growth does not stop at achieving performance figures. Growth must also be translated into benefits that people can feel.
