SME & Commercial
In 2015, the Commercial and SME loan portfolio grew 8.8% to Rp 144.0 trillion. In line with declining business activity over the last two years, commercial and SME lending posted a slower growth than in previous years. The slowdown in economic growth in 2015, characterized by a decrease in purchasing power, has correlated with slower growth in business revenue including for commercial and SME companies.
BCA continues to maintain its prudent lending policy with loans prioritized for borrowers who have solid financials and already have a good relationship with the Bank. The loan portfolio is closely monitored for each branch, region and industry sector. The increase in non-performing loans in the commercial segment, especially in the sea and river transportation industry, was foreseen, and the necessary steps were taken to mitigate the negative impact of deterioration in this sector. At the end of 2015, the Non- Performing Loans (NPL) ratio of the commercial and SME segment as a whole was at a relatively manageable level of 1.1%.
In the commercial banking segment, the Bank prioritizes services for mid-sized entities engaged in the trade, manufacturing and services industries by positioning itself as a trusted business partner that can offer end-to- end financial solutions for their businesses. BCA defines commercial loans as ranging from Rp 10 billion to Rp 350 billion with most of the Bank’s commercial loan customers being regional business players in Indonesia. In 2015, the commercial loan portfolio grew 10.0% to Rp 91.2 trillion and contributed 63.4% to the Bank’s total commercial and SME loan portfolio.
BCA utilizes Commercial Business Centers at the regional
level to manage the customer base and the commercial loan
portfolio. As of year end 2015, there were 14 Commercial
Business Centers located in major trading centers across
Indonesia, including Jakarta, Semarang, Bandung and
Surabaya as well as in cities outside Java, such as Medan,
Palembang, Makassar and Denpasar. The Commercial
Business Centers allow BCA to provide better quality
service and ease of access through account officers, who
61
PT Bank Central Asia Tbk 2015 Annual Report
are experienced in offering banking solutions that cater to
the needs of commercial customers.
In the SME segment, the majority of BCA’s SME customer base consist of family business owners, shopkeepers, restaurant owners, and small-scale factory owners. Defined as business loans with a value of up to Rp 10 billion, SME lending is done at the branch level and is supported by an online and centralized loan application scoring and risk management system. This approach allows for centralized control of risk while maximizing the potential of the Bank’s network of branches that are strategically located in the trading centers of Indonesian cities. In addition, the Bank cooperates with several partner institutions, such as rural banks and cooperatives, to provide direct lending through channeling programs and indirect lending, in support of business development in the SME segment outside of the reach of the Bank’s branch network. BCA also works closely with its subsidiary, BCA Syariah, in the development of products and services for micro, small and medium enterprise customers. BCA Syariah is strategically positioned to complement SME financing services. By the end of 2015, BCA’s SME loans increased by 6.8% to Rp 52.8 trillion and contributed 36.6% to the total commercial and SME portfolio.
On an ongoing basis, Commercial and SME Banking works closely with BCA Corporate Banking to develop value chain business initiatives in various industries, such as the communities of capital markets, futures markets, oil and gas, cement, telecommunication, modern market, airline services and general public services. Recruitment of new account officers continued in 2015 to meet the increasing need for skilled human resources at BCA. The Bank also continued to train employees in order to enhance the quality of service and the ability of account officers in establishing effective relationships with customers; a skill that is much needed in an increasingly competitive environment.
Looking Forward
BCA understands the importance of CASA in sustaining a solid long-term funding structure. The Bank continues to enhance its payment settlement services to drive CASA growth through the development of a variety of payment settlement features, products and services.
BCA will continue to develop the Bank’s branch network and expand electronic channel coverage supported by continuous improvements in the capacity and capabilities of BCA’s information technology infrastructure. Internet banking and mobile banking will continue to be developed and improved in order to enhance operational efficiency in the future. Several new electronic banking initiatives that were launched in 2015 include ‘Sakuku’ (My Pocket) server-based e-money smartphone application, ‘Laku’
no-fee savings product, and ‘Duitt’ electronic money.
In developing various business initiatives in the field of payment settlement services, BCA maintains its focus on ease, security, and convenience in customer transactions.
In the commercial and SME segment, the Bank will focus its lending to customers with strong business prospects and proven durability in uncertain economic conditions. BCA continues to improve lending facilities and infrastructure by strengthening the role of Commercial Business Centers in the regional offices and increasing the number of quality account officers and relationship officers through recruitment and training programs. The Bank also aims to improve the synergy of corporate – commercial and SME financing through value chain financing, both for distributor financing and supplier financing, and focuses on leading companies in growing industry sectors.
Leveraging off its extensive network and solid position in
the field of transaction banking, BCA stands ready to meet
the lending needs of commercial and SME customers,
particularly when the Indonesian economy returns to faster
growth.
