PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI, has expanded its banking services for families with the introduction of "wondrZ," a digital savings account designed for children and teenagers. This new offering can be accessed through the "wondr by BNI" application, aiming to foster early financial literacy and management skills among the youth.

The product launch is part of the BNI wondrX 2026 event, held at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD from August 21-23, 2026. The initiative also marks a celebration of BNI's 80th anniversary. Alexandra Askandar, Deputy President Director of BNI, officially launched the product, accompanied by members of the BNI Board of Directors, management, and strategic partners.

According to Okki Rushartomo, Corporate Secretary of BNI, wondrZ is developed to help children build healthy financial habits through age-appropriate banking experiences. "Through wondrZ, we want to help children learn how to save, manage money, and begin to understand transactions gradually. At the same time, parents can still accompany their children's financial journey through the available features," Okki stated.

wondrZ offers three main features. Parents can easily open and manage their children's savings within a single service. Children aged 12 and above can conduct digital transactions using their own wondr accounts, promoting financial independence. Parents can also monitor their children's financial activities, including balances and transaction history, through a dedicated monitoring feature.

To open a wondrZ account, parents need to provide a Family Card (KK) or Child Identity Card (KIA). The data must be accurate as the savings will be registered under the child's name. BNI wondrX 2026 provides an opportunity for the public to explore banking products and services designed to support family financial needs and enhance financial literacy among the younger generation.

Through wondrZ, we want to help children learn how to save, manage money, and begin to understand transactions gradually. At the same time, parents can still accompany their children's financial journey through the available features.
