PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten, Tbk.

Bank bjb is the commercial brand of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten Tbk, an Indonesian regional development bank headquartered in Bandung. It was established by the West Java provincial government on 20 May 1961 as PD Bank Karya Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat. Its history reflects its role as a regional government-owned banking institution and its later development into a public company operating under the Bank bjb name. The bank provides banking services through conventional and sharia channels. It began providing sharia banking services in April 2000, becoming the first regional development bank in Indonesia to operate a dual banking system, according to the supplied history. It became a foreign-exchange bank in 1990, with its foreign-exchange banking status also described in the historical account as taking effect in 1992 under a Bank Indonesia decision. The supplied material does not detail its individual account, lending, card, or digital product ranges. The institution's name and legal form changed as it developed: it became Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat in 1978, adopted the Bank Jabar name in 1992, converted from a regional company into a limited-liability company in 1999, and was renamed Bank Jabar Banten in 2007. It adopted the Bank bjb name in 2010 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that July. The supplied Indonesian-language account describes it as a regional government-owned bank belonging to the provincial governments of West Java and Banten. Its official website uses the Bank bjb brand.

Bank bjb traces its institutional origins to the nationalization context following Indonesian Government Regulation No. 33/1960, which addressed Dutch-owned companies in Indonesia. One nationalized institution identified in the supplied account was De Eerste Nederlansche Indische Shareholding N.V., a mortgage bank based in Bandung. The West Java provincial government subsequently established PD Bank Karya Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat. Its establishment was documented through notarial deeds dated 21 March and 13 May 1961 and confirmed by a West Java Governor's decree dated 20 May 1961. The initial capital was provided from the regional treasury. The bank's legal status and name evolved over the following decades. A 1972 West Java regional regulation set out its legal position as a regional company in the banking business. In 1978, the name was changed to Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat. In 1992, the bank adopted the Bank Jabar name and a new logo; the supplied account describes its foreign-exchange banking status as arising under a Bank Indonesia directors' decision that year. A separate introductory passage in the same evidence states that the bank had been a foreign-exchange bank since 2 August 1990, so the supplied material gives both dates. In 1999, following regional regulations and the relevant incorporation documents, the bank changed its legal form from a regional company (PD) to a limited-liability company (PT). A further service milestone followed in 2000: with Bank Indonesia approval, the bank began offering sharia banking alongside conventional banking from 15 April. The supplied history identifies it as the first regional development bank in Indonesia to operate this dual banking system. The brand changed again in the 2000s. In November 2007, Bank Jabar became Bank Jabar Banten. In 2010, it adopted the Bank BJB name. The supplied account states that it became the first regional development bank in Indonesia to list on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in July 2010. The official homepage supplied for this dossier presents the current commercial identity as Bank bjb. The evidence describes the institution as a regional government-owned bank associated with the provincial governments of West Java and Banten and headquartered in Bandung. The supplied Indonesian-language account also reports a corruption investigation concerning alleged irregularities in advertising expenditure during 2021–2023. It describes audit findings and subsequent KPK investigative steps, including the issuance of an investigation warrant in early March 2025. These are allegations and reported investigative developments, not a finding of guilt. The account says five suspects had been named by 10 March 2025, without officially identifying them in that text.
