Weekend Banking at GATF

This operation allows opening an account or debit card from any type of account on weekends. This service is only valid at 1 outlet, namely at the BNI Weekend Banking outlet at Senayan City Mall.

Corina said that this BNI weekend banking is a banking service provided on Saturdays and Sundays, which in the future BNI will routinely present in several crowded places with visitors.

This outlet is an effort by the company to improve services and maintain customer convenience in having transactions and opening savings with outlet operating hours starting at 10.00 - 16.00 WIB.

"Meanwhile, this weekend banking service applies specifically to support the implementation of the GATF 2021 event and the BNI Senayan City Festive 2021 event during the period of 11 December 2021 to 09 January 2022," she concluded.

Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Touched

When opening the GATF 2021, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno said the government was continuing to try to restore the tourism sector which was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This is both in terms of recovery of tourism industry players and demand for domestic tourists by strengthening purchasing power.

"We also continue to campaign the spirit of traveling in Indonesia to encourage domestic tourists to be motivated to choose their vacation destinations by visiting tourist destinations in Indonesia," said Sandiaga Uno.

Sandiaga Uno also appreciated the holding of the GATF 2021 travel exhibition which will support the movement of tourists so that they can encourage economic growth by involving the tourism industry such as travel agencies, hotels, and destination managers.

"Today I am very touched to see your enthusiasm, after a year and a half we have experienced a period of concern. Hopefully what we are doing will be able to support tourism, open up business opportunities and employment opportunities," he added.
