BTN Customer Due Diligence (CDD) & Kyc Policy
PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (“BTN”) implements a comprehensive Customer Due Diligence (CDD) framework as part of its Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CTF), and Counter Proliferation Financing of Weapons of Mass Destruction (CPF) programs. These procedures are governed through internal policies, including:
-
KK.6-B – AML/CTF & PFWMD Implementation Procedures;
-
PT.6-B.1 – AML/CTF & PFWMD Operational Guidelines; and
-
PT.9-I.1 – Customer Information File (CIF) Management Procedures.
BTN conducts comprehensive CDD at the commencement of a business relationship through identification, verification, and monitoring to ensure that transactions align with the profile, characteristics, and/or transaction patterns of Prospective Customers, Customers, or Walk-in Customers (WIC). The scope includes:
-
Identification by requesting customer information and supporting documents to understand the customer profile;
-
Verification of the accuracy and consistency of information and documents provided by Prospective Customers;
-
Monitoring of transactions that deviate from the customer profile;
-
Risk profiling (low/medium/high) for ML/TF/CPF risks relating to Customers, countries or geographic areas, products, services, transactions, or distribution channels; and
-
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for Prospective Customers, WIC, or Customers classified as high risk, including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), to assess potential money laundering and terrorism financing risks.
If CDD or EDD identifies indications of suspicious financial transactions, BTN submits a suspicious transaction report to PPATK.
Non-Face-to-Face CDD (Digital Onboarding)BTN implements non–face-to-face onboarding procedures in accordance with KK.6-B Chapter III Section 1.1.33–1.1.34, including:
-
Use of BTN-owned or approved third-party electronic applications (software/hardware);
-
Identity verification using at least three authentication factors, such as:
- Biometric (facial recognition, fingerprint, iris/retina);
- Possession factors (e-KTP + OTP, digital signature, or equivalent); and
- Knowledge factors (password, PIN, or confidential credentials).
-
Certification/validation of uploaded documents; and
-
Independent contact with the customer when necessary.
These methods ensure that digital onboarding maintains security and assurance equivalent to face-to-face verification.
Terrorist Financing ScreeningBTN screens customer information against official terrorist designation lists issued by:
-
PPATK (SIPENDAR); and
-
OJK (SIGAP).
Screening is conducted during onboarding and throughout the business relationship.
