Jakarta, 19 February 2020. PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk (“Bank Danamon” or the “Bank”) today announced its full year 2019 financial results.

The Bank booked net profit after taxes (NPAT) of IDR 4.07 trillion in 2019, a 4% growth as compared to a year earlier. This NPAT is the highest recorded in Bank Danamon’s history. The NPAT growth was contributed by the divestment of 70% share ownership in the bank’s general insurance subsidiary PT Asuransi Adira Dinamika Tbk to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, a globally renowned general insurer. The proceeds from the sale of Adira Insurance is used to invest in strengthening our proposition including our infrastructure, improvement of service quality as well as potential additional shareholder return. The profit growth was also driven by the Bank’s focus in its key growth engines, namely loans to the Enterprise Banking and consumer mortgage segments as well as the automotive financing sector.

“The first full year of MUFG investment brought new milestones for Bank Danamon, from the successful merger with Bank Nusantara Parahyangan (Bank BNP), reaching a BUKU IV capital requirement, to partnership with numerous prominent institutions. These early milestones and achievements mark the beginning of the rise of the new Danamon. Going forward, we will continue to further expand our business, build solid foundation through branding, human capital and digital infrastructure development, and leverage on deeper collaboration with MUFG,” said Yasushi Itagaki, President Director of Danamon.   

“With our customer centric approach, we make sure that all of our initiatives are undertaken with the customers’ best interest in mind. Last year, our collaboration with MUFG resulted in our first business matching event, bringing together close to 80 Japanese, Indonesian and Southeast Asian corporate clients to network and explore business opportunities. Last year also saw increasing customer adoption of our digital banking service, with more than 94% banking transactions being done through digital channels, while D-Bank, our mobile banking application, where a user can open an account without visiting a branch, contributes to 13.6% of new customer acquisition, Itagaki added.

Lending Growth in Key Segments

Enterprise Banking loan portfolio, consisting of Corporate, Commercial Banking, and Financial Institutions, grew 6% to IDR 44.0 trillion. Loans to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) segment grew 1% to IDR 31.5 trillion. Meanwhile, Consumer Mortgage loans grew 16.3% to IDR 9.1 trillion.
