On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, J Trust Bank officially announced JKT48 as its newest Brand Ambassador. The Brand Ambassador announcement ceremony took place at the JKT48 Theater, fX Senayan, South Jakarta, and was attended by the President Director of J Trust Bank, Ritsuo Fukadai, the Director of Business at J Trust Bank, Widjaja Hendra, and two JKT48 members, Shani Indira Natio and Shania Gracia.
The selection of JKT48 as the Brand Ambassador for the bank went through several considerations, one of which was the shared background from Japan. As known, J Trust Bank is majority-owned by J Trust Group, a global holding company originating from Japan, while JKT48 is the first sister group outside Japan of the idol group AKB48, which is the largest idol group originating from Japan.
The shared values between J Trust Bank and JKT48 played an essential role in selecting JKT48 as the Brand Ambassador. JKT48 has provided entertainment that radiates a positive image through their music and performances. They have the ability to inspire their fans to stay motivated in pursuing their dreams. Moreover, JKT48 is very active in various social activities, reflecting their commitment and concern for the community.
The introduction of the Brand Ambassador coincides with the launch of a special collaborative savings program with JKT48, called "Tabungan Tora x JKT48," which offers various benefits to customers. Some of the benefits include no monthly admin fees, free online interbank transfer fees for up to 10 times per month, and free cash withdrawal at Prima and Bersama ATM networks up to four times a day.
What makes it special is that "Tabungan Tora x JKT48" offers an interest rate of 4.8% per annum for the first year, which is more competitive than the regular "Tabungan Tora" with an interest rate of 3% per annum. The "Tabungan Tora x JKT48" program is exclusively offered to JKT48 Official Fan Club and Free Membership members.
For JKT48 fans, JKT48 Points are a familiar currency used for JKT48 services. J Trust Bank also offers a promotion where the purchase of JKT48 Points through J Trust Bank's Virtual Account will receive a 5% cashback credited to the customer's J Trust Bank account.
The products and benefits currently offered are just the beginning of the collaboration between J Trust Bank and JKT48. In the future, there will be various exciting products and programs for fans and the public.
The announcement of JKT48 as the Brand Ambassador is expected to receive positive support from fans who aspire to achieve financial freedom with the idol group JKT48 and J Trust Bank.
