Building a more secure financial future: bank bjb’s pension fund holds 2026 campaign

Preparing for retirement should begin during a person’s working years, not when retirement is already approaching. That was the message from bank bjb’s Financial Institution Pension Fund, or DPLK bank bjb, during its 2026 Pension Fund Month event in Bandung.

The event took place on Sunday, September 6, at Saparua Field on Jalan Ambon in Bandung’s Citarum area. It formed part of the institution’s efforts to strengthen public financial literacy and inclusion, with a particular focus on the importance of building retirement savings early.

The gathering was attended by West Java Financial Services Authority head Darwisman and Dinar Sukmasari, director of pension fund supervision at the central Financial Services Authority. Bandung city assistant regional secretary Dudy Prayudi, bank bjb compliance director Asep Dani Fadillah, DPLK bank bjb supervisory board chairman Nur Hasan Kurniawan and DPLK bank bjb administrator chairwoman Rinda Merindawati also attended.

The organizers presented retirement planning as part of comprehensive financial management. Starting earlier gives people more time to build savings gradually, according to their financial capacity and circumstances. The campaign urged working-age residents to develop healthy financial habits, including managing expenses carefully, setting aside part of their income and preparing financial instruments for long-term needs.

DPLK bank bjb also used the event to explain the role of a Financial Institution Pension Fund in long-term planning. Retirement savings, it said, should not be viewed only as money needed after someone stops working, but as part of preparing to maintain an independent and prosperous quality of life in the future. The article said people do not need to wait for a large income before starting, although the supplied text ends before explaining the next step in that argument.
