In recognition of his outstanding leadership and significant contributions to the growth of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Timur Tbk (Bank Jatim), Busrul Iman, the company’s CEO, has been awarded the prestigious Indonesia CEO Excellence 2024 award. The award, presented at the Indonesia CEO Excellence Awards 2024, acknowledges Iman’s efforts in fostering business transformation that led to the positive growth of Bank Jatim, especially in the face of economic challenges.

Held on December 21, 2024, the event celebrated innovative leadership and business excellence. Bank Jatim’s transformation under Iman’s leadership has been marked by strong strategic initiatives, particularly the enhancement of digital banking services and partnerships with other regional banks. Iman’s ability to lead the organization through economic uncertainties and implement forward-thinking strategies has made Bank Jatim one of the most successful regional banks in Indonesia.

Upon receiving the award, Busrul Iman expressed his gratitude, emphasizing the collective effort of the entire Bank Jatim team. “This recognition is a reflection of the dedication of all Jatimers in working together to ensure the continued growth of the bank. We believe that an adaptive leadership approach, especially in the face of changing market conditions, is key to success,” said Iman.

One of the cornerstones of Bank Jatim’s recent success has been the launch and continuous development of its digital banking platform, JConnect. By focusing on the evolving needs of tech-savvy customers, JConnect has become a game-changer in providing convenient banking services. As of November 2024, the platform has successfully reached 811,575 users, a clear indication of its growing acceptance and impact on the bank’s operations.

Bank Jatim’s commitment to innovation extends beyond digital banking. The bank has aggressively sought to strengthen its position in the banking sector by forging partnerships with other regional banks through the Kelompok Usaha Bank (KUB) initiative. This collaboration is aimed at creating a stronger competitive edge in the banking industry by sharing resources and expertise among participating banks. The KUB program has already seen five regional banks join forces with Bank Jatim, including Bank NTB Syariah, Bank Lampung, Bank Banten, Bank NTT, and Bank Sultra.

The synergy between Bank Jatim and its KUB partners demonstrates Iman’s strategic vision to ensure that the bank continues to grow and remain competitive. As part of his leadership, Bank Jatim has also focused on delivering financial services that are not only innovative but also accessible and beneficial to a broad segment of the population. Through these initiatives, Bank Jatim has been able to create an inclusive financial ecosystem that supports the growth of both individual customers and businesses.

Busrul Iman’s leadership, characterized by innovation, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence, has positioned Bank Jatim as a key player in Indonesia’s banking sector. This award is a testament to the bank’s strong leadership and its focus on creating positive growth in the financial industry. Bank Jatim’s journey under Iman’s guidance continues to be one of transformation, growth, and innovation, contributing to the overall development of the national economy.
