Jakarta. Bank KB Bukopin, better known by its ticker symbol BBKP, is trying to acquire new customers with its digital app KBstar.

Bank KB Bukopin first launched the KBstar to put comprehensive and integrated banking solutions at the customer’s fingertips. According to KB Bukopin’s digital retail business manager Hutama Trinanda, the app met great enthusiasm as its users grew significantly since its release last September.

“The responses were quite great. There was a lot of enthusiasm, and people were excited to download [KBstar] and they were all curious of what the app offers,” Hutama said in Jakarta on Friday.

According to Hutama, the app offers all sorts of features and customers only need to log in once. Hutama added: “Amidst the digital banking competition, of course, KBstar will go full force. This app comes with a Plus Account, deposits with a 3 percent interest. There is an online deposit so people can open a deposit account anytime, anywhere, without having to come to our branch office.”

New customers can open accounts via KBstar which comes equipped with face recognition and liveness. Other features include a planning account that lets customers open up a savings account for their future just with the initial balance starting at a minimum of Rp 100,000.  Tons of promos are available, including fee-free BI-Fast transfer.

“Other promos include fee-free transfers and top-ups for e-wallet, Gopay, LinkAja. Customers can transfer money without the need to insert the recipient’s bank account number thanks to Pay Contact. They only need to insert the mobile phone and just split the bill,” Hutama said. 

Customers can make online deposits with competitive interests and a minimum deposit of Rp 1 million. They can also pay post-paid mobile phone bills. Making transactions on KBstar is also safe as it comes with extra verification features, according to Hutama.
