PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) is setting ambitious goals for its Hajj Savings program, targeting Rp 17.6 trillion in funds and 8.4 million accounts by the end of 2026. This represents a significant increase from the Rp 15.9 trillion and 6.9 million accounts recorded at the end of 2025 and last year, respectively.

Currently, we are the largest Islamic bank, and also a state-owned enterprise. One of the drivers for increasing third-party funds is the collection of low-cost funds through savings. Well, the savings that contribute the most are Hajj savings.

— Ida Triana WidawatiSenior Executive Vice President (SEVP) Funding & Transaction BSI, explaining the importance of Hajj savings for the bank's low-cost funds.

Ida Triana Widawati, Senior Executive Vice President of Funding & Transaction at BSI, highlighted the importance of Hajj Savings as a major contributor to the bank's low-cost funds. "Hajj savings provide the largest contribution to low-cost funds through savings. And savings that contribute the most are Hajj savings," she stated.

To stimulate public interest in preparing for the Hajj pilgrimage, BSI introduced the "Nabung Haji Dapat Hadiah Umrah" (Save Hajj Get Umrah Prize) program. This initiative requires participants to maintain a minimum average balance of Rp 1 million, with points awarded for each balance increment. A minimum end-of-month balance of Rp 5 million is also mandated. The program, which ran from August 1 to December 31, 2025, with a prize draw in February 2026, saw BSI collaborating with NRA Tour & Travel as its umrah travel partner.

Hopefully, with this collaboration, we can serve Allah's guests better.

BSI is also looking to enhance its services for Indonesian Hajj and umrah pilgrims by preparing to open a branch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. "We don't have services there yet. Hopefully, BSI's presence can provide more complete services because Indonesians are certainly more familiar," Widawati said, emphasizing the bank's commitment to better serving pilgrims.
