Hong Kong – PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) continues to assert its prominence in the Asia-Pacific financial sector, clinching 15 prestigious awards at the FinanceAsia Awards and Asia’s Best Companies 2025 event held in Hong Kong on June 17. The recognition underscores BRI’s ability to adapt, innovate, and lead in a constantly shifting financial landscape.
At the FinanceAsia Awards 2025, BRI was recognized across key categories, including Best Commercial Bank – SMEs, Best Bank for Financial Inclusion, Best Private Bank, Best Custodian Bank, and a “Highly Commended” distinction in the domestic Best Bank category.
The honors were further extended through FinanceAsia’s Asia’s Best Companies 2025 list—an annual benchmark informed by institutional investor and analyst surveys. In the domestic segment, BRI received gold-level recognition for Best Managed Company, Best Investor Relations, and Best Managed Financial Institution.
Additional accolades at the silver level included Best Large-Cap Company, Most Committed to ESG, Best Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), and Best Use of Technology, alongside three individual awards attributed to the bank’s Board of Management.
FinanceAsia’s editorial board emphasized that leading financial institutions across the Asia-Pacific region are being recognized for resilience amid global uncertainties, including the lingering effects of the pandemic and a slowing macroeconomic environment. According to the organization, institutions like BRI exemplify how strong fundamentals and agility can yield continued growth despite challenges.
In a statement, Hery Gunardi, President Director of BRI, noted that these recognitions reflect the bank’s enduring business relevance and public trust, built on a strong foundation of inclusive financial services. “BRI sees significant opportunities to innovate and strengthen our position both nationally and regionally,” he said.
BRI’s expansive network includes over 36,600 marketing personnel—from micro-loan officers to relationship managers—supported by more than 6,000 branch offices, reaching the most remote regions of Indonesia. “This widespread presence makes BRI the most accessible banking institution across the country,” Gunardi added.
Further solidifying its international reputation, BRI was ranked 349th on the Forbes Global 2000 list in June 2025, making it the highest-ranked Indonesian public company. Key financial metrics included USD16.07 billion in revenue, USD3.8 billion in profit, USD123.83 billion in assets, and a market value of USD33.48 billion.
With over 221 million deposit accounts and 211,000 QLola users in the corporate segment as of March 2025, BRI is actively building a vast, data-rich ecosystem that positions it as a strategic force in Southeast Asia’s evolving financial services landscape.
