JAKARTA – Bank Mandiri strengthens its commitment to eradicating online gambling which is increasingly troubling the public. This is a form of the company’s consistency in maintaining the integrity and security of the national financial system.
Bank Mandiri Corporate Secretary Teuku Ali Usman stated that his party had implemented various strategies to ensure Bank Mandiri’s services were not misused by parties involved in online gambling activities.
Bank Mandiri has integrated three main steps in identifying accounts that are indicated to be used for online gambling. First, actively search online gambling sites using Bank Mandiri (web krawling) accounts.
“With this step, Bank Mandiri can detect sites that are indicated to abuse Bank Mandiri’s account as a holding fund for online gambling proceeds,” said Ali in a press statement, Tuesday, July 9.
Second, Bank Mandiri conducts an anomalous analysis of transactions to find out an unnatural spike in transactions in certain accounts. With this method, Bank Mandiri can immediately identify suspicious transaction activities, including online gambling-related transactions, so that handling actions can be taken immediately.
Third, Bank Mandiri utilizes advanced algorithm analysis technology or external cyber threat intelligence) in cybersecurity data from various sources to identify online gambling websites that illegally misuse Bank Mandiri’s identity.
In addition to internal efforts, Bank Mandiri is also actively cooperating with authorized agencies such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo), as well as the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). This collaboration aims to obtain information related to accounts indicated to be involved in online gambling activities.
According to him, through collaboration between Ministries and Institutions, further action can be taken effectively to block accounts that are proven to be used for illegal activities in accordance with applicable regulations and regulations. Furthermore, Bank Mandiri also conducted an Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) against the owner of the blocked account, for the process of verifying and updating customer data. In addition, the account owner’s data is also blacklisted so that it cannot open new accounts at Bank Mandiri in the future.
“To strengthen efforts to eradicate online gambling, Bank Mandiri also strictly implements the principles of Know Your Customer (KYC) at the opening of a new account,” he added.
Through the application of this principle, Bank Mandiri ensures that every prospective customer has been carefully examined to prevent and minimize account abuse by online gamblers. This step is part of Bank Mandiri’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of banking services and protecting customers from potential risks due to illegal activities.
“Bank Mandiri is committed to continuing to increase supervision and monitoring of suspicious transaction activities. We ensure that our banking services are not misused by irresponsible parties. We also urge the public to play an active role by reporting suspicious activities related to online gambling to the authorities or directly to Bank Mandiri,” he concluded.
