As a bank institution which commitment is to focus in innovation and technology, DBS Indonesia strives in complying the regulations and implements the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, through fun and convenience way. The KYC function is to identify and verify the prospective customers as a part of required process in order to check the validity of customers.
Leonardo Koesmanto – Head of Digital Banking of PT Bank DBS Indonesia said, “it is Digibank by DBS commitment to maintain closer relationships with the costumers. This time, we want to introduce a unique way in opening bank account, by doing biometrics verification in e-KYC store. This is the way we demonstrate digital innovation in banking industry.” Leo also mentioned that since the launching, digibank by DBS has implemented a unique and innovative customer verification process, for example in the use of biometric technology.
Since its first launch, identity verification of prospective customer has been conducted through a digibank agent who visits the potential customer at their current location. Appointments has been made easy as to book an online transportation.
Furthermore, Leo explained, “Currently, digibank by DBS comes closer to accompany daily activities for people who tend to do their activities in more convenient places such as coffee shops while enjoying their coffee and relaxing, but are still able to do banking activities, including opening account. Thus, this is what we call as Live More, Bank Less.”
A Unique way in opening digibank account
DBS Indonesia has committed to always provide banking experience for customers in an easier, seamless, and fun way, and digibank by DBS is becoming the proof commitment.
Currently, DBS Indonesia has initiated collaboration with several coffee shops in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bandung and Surabaya in order to improve customers convenience in terms of banking activities. This unique collaboration then enable people to open accounts at several coffee shops as easy as enjoying their favorite coffee. Coffee trends that had become a part of the lifestyle for urban communities, especially for millennials, is one of the reasons for DBS Indonesia in establishing collaboration with several coffee shops. Later on, at the coffee shops, there will be a biometric verification tool to assist the verification process of identifying on the prospective customers.
There are already 21 coffee shops across Jakarta, Tangerang, Bandung and Surabaya that has officially cooperated with DBS Indonesia for e-KYC program. The coffee shops will also provide a free cup of coffee for new customers of digibank by DBS who had successfully conducted the process of biometrics verification.

Furthermore, these are digibank by DBS innovative features that enables customers to experience seamless banking activities:

As for customers who prefer the convenience of activities in the coffee shops, they able to conduct biometric verification in the e-KYC store that is located in Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya.

Customers will be able to converse with digibank’s AI-powered virtual assistant to conduct fund transfer transaction. They can type “Transfer 100 thousand to Digor” and the Virtual Assistant will do the transaction. This feature is similar with having a Relationship Manager who helps the transaction service, without having call with Call Center.
- SPENDING TRACKER – An intelligent financial planning and monitoring feature that helps customers be smarter in managing their funds. People often lose track of their spending, especially during festive months, birthdays, graduations, and other occasions.
