Pramono added that the incident resulting in a leak of Bank DKI funds involving Bank DKI's information technology system was not the first time.

"It is not the first time. It happened three times. IT did not maintain it well. There is a leak. Only Bank DKI directors knew the amount," Pramono added.

Pramono has also appointed an independent international institution to conduct an audit, trace and monitor the flow of funds that are suspected of being leaked. The effort aims to thoroughly investigate this problem.

Pramono believes that Bareskrim will soon find out where the funds are flowing through the existing digital footprint. In addition, he also instructed all parties who have passwords and computer devices in related departments to be replaced with new personnel appointed by the President Director of Bank DKI.

Pramono ensured that this incident did not have a direct impact on customer funds despite there was a service disruption. According to him, the loss was actually experienced by Bank DKI due to a leak of funds originating from Bank DKI's reserve funds.

"No impact on customers at all. Bank DKI account at BNI Bank was impacted," Pramono continued.

Pramono emphasized that all Bank DKI transaction facilities have been returned to normal since yesterday.
