Operating profit grew by 22% to IDR 2.9 trillion on the back of lower credit cost and Danamon’s ability to manage its operational efficiency.

“We continue to enhance Danamon’s products and service offering to better serve our customers. In the first half of the year, Danamon expanded its digital channels through the launch of D-connect, which provides an integrated online and mobile banking solution for businesses.

Adira Finance’s loans stood at IDR 44.6 trillion at the end of the first half of 2017.  Micro Banking loans, through Danamon Simpan Pinjam (DSP), declined 32% to IDR 8.5 trillion due to competition and weaker demand.

Fee income (non-credit related) grew 6% year-on-year
