On 5th April 2016 BNI Syariah for the third year running received an award for its shariah mortgage products at the Fifth Infobank Digital Brand of the Year 2016 event, held at the Hotel Le Meridien in Jakarta. The award was accepted during the ceremony by BNI Syariah Vice President, Ms Dhias Widhiyati, which was followed by a seminar hosted by the bank with representatives from the Ministry of Information and leading officials from Indonesia’s Islamic banking industry present. The seminar discussed the strengthening of the bank’s brand through the utilisation of social media as Indonesia embraces the digital era.

The bank was assessed on several criteria to receive the award, such as website appearance (based on how informative the Griya iB Hasanah product page is on the BNI Syariah website), media appearance (based on the number of mentions of Griya iB Hasanah products in local media outlets) and social media sentiment (based on the number of conversations about Griya iB Hasanah products on social media).

Through its Griya iB Hasanah products, BNI Syariah continues to make available highly-competitive mortgages for homes, which accounted for 45.33% of the bank’s financing portfolio for 2015 (See BNI Syariah Records Profit Increase in First Quarter of 2016). This demonstrates BNI Syariah’s standing as one of the foremost Islamic bank offering shariah mortgage financing in Indonesia. In winning this award, the bank showcases the popularity and reliability of its products as shariah compliant banking grows as an alternative source of financing in the country.
