The Indonesian Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) is actively fostering a strategic partnership with Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) to drive business growth and enhance the Hajj pilgrimage experience. This collaboration focuses on transforming services for Hajj pilgrims and building a more modern, integrated Hajj service ecosystem.

Harry Alexander, a member of the BPKH Executive Board, highlighted the partnership's goal during a coordination meeting in Yogyakarta. "The synergy between BPKH and Bank Muamalat is not just an institutional relationship but a strategic partnership to provide easier, faster, and higher quality Hajj services. We want this collaboration to provide tangible benefits for both pilgrims and the strengthening of Bank Muamalat's business," he stated.

BPKH is supporting BMI's business transformation through several key initiatives. By leveraging the BPKH Apps, the agency aims to optimize services for pilgrims awaiting their turn, integrating the opening of deposit and settlement accounts at Bank Muamalat. This integration is expected to expand BMI's Hajj customer base, increase cross-selling activities, and contribute to the bank's income from Hajj-related savings products.

Furthermore, BPKH and BMI are working to enhance the management of liquidity for Hajj operations by optimizing initial deposit funds and settlement funds. This improved fund management is intended to strengthen BMI's funding structure and increase its capacity for sustainable financing and business development. BPKH is also encouraging the development of a digital payment ecosystem by integrating BMI's payment gateway with various strategic partners, aiming to broaden the use of BMI's banking services for public transactions and boost fee-based income.

We want the synergy between BPKH and Bank Muamalat to yield measurable benefits. Not only improving service quality for pilgrims, but also strengthening Bank Muamalat's business through increased Hajj customer acquisition, enhanced liquidity, digital service development, and the creation of new revenue streams. When Bank Muamalat grows stronger, Hajj services will also become more optimal.

โ€” Harry AlexanderMember of the BPKH Executive Board, emphasizing the desired outcomes of the collaboration.
