This regulation standardizes account management at commercial banks by defining active, inactive, and dormant account classifications based on 360-day and 1800-day inactivity thresholds. Banks are required to implement specific governance, risk management, and consumer protection procedures, including mandatory notifications, fee restrictions, and enhanced monitoring for dormant accounts. The rule imposes obligations on banks to manage dormant accounts for up to 30 years without claiming ownership, while requiring customers to maintain activity to keep accounts active. Non-compliance triggers administrative sanctions ranging from written warnings to business suspension.

STATE GAZETTE OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA YEAR 2025 NUMBER [Number]
As an institution that collects funds from the public, Banks play an important role in conducting banking business activities, including managing Customer accounts. Account management conducted in accordance with good governance principles is necessary to ensure protection for all Customers and to prevent fraud or misuse practices. The application of good governance over Customer account management aligns with the provisions of Law Number 7 of 1992 concerning Banking as amended several times, most recently by Law Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector.
Account management at Banks regulated by the internal policies of each Bank results in variations in practices regarding account opening, closure, and reactivation procedures, the determination of criteria for inactive or dormant accounts, and the notification mechanisms to customers. These variations cause uncertainty in Customer rights and obligations and differences in banking service implementation across Banks.
Based on this, the standardization of regulations for Customer account management is necessary to minimize differences in treatment, protect Customer interests, and ensure transparency and procedural certainty for all interested parties, thereby necessitating the establishment of a Financial Services Authority Regulation concerning Account Management at Commercial Banks.
Generally, this Financial Services Authority Regulation contains main materials arranged systematically, including criteria for accounts (active, inactive, and dormant), Customer account management, policies and procedures for account activation, Bank communication with Customers regarding account status, and Customer obligations to maintain accounts in active condition.
Sufficiently clear.
Sufficiently clear.
Paragraph (1)
Letter a
Example:
Customer "ABC" opens a Savings Account at Bank "XYZ" on January 1, 2027. From January 1, 2027, to November 1, 2027, Customer "ABC" does not withdraw or deposit funds into the Savings Account. Customer "ABC" checks the balance of the Savings Account on November 30, 2027, via mobile banking, so Customer "ABC"'s Savings Account is classified as an active account.
Letter b
Accounts are classified as inactive accounts starting from the 361st day.
Example:
Customer "KCB" opens a Checking Account at Bank "LCM" on January 1, 2027. Customer "KCB" last performed a cash withdrawal on February 15, 2027, and thereafter did not conduct deposit, withdrawal, or balance inquiry activities on the Checking Account for 360 (three hundred sixty) days, until February 9, 2028. Thus, Customer "KCB"'s Checking Account is designated as an inactive account starting from February 10, 2028, which is the 361st day.
Letter c
Accounts are classified as dormant accounts starting from the 1801st day.
Example:
Customer "KCB"'s Checking Account at Bank "LCM" was designated as an inactive account starting from February 10, 2028. Subsequently, Customer "KCB" did not request reactivation through channels available at Bank "LCM" until February 14, 2032, so there were no deposit, withdrawal, or balance inquiry activities on the Checking Account until the 1800th day. Thus, Customer "KCB"'s Checking Account is designated as a dormant account on February 15, 2032, which is the 1801st day.
Paragraph (2)
Account activities for Checking Accounts and Savings Accounts generated by the bank's system include, among others, payment of account interest, deduction of tax obligations, imposition of administrative fees, and automatic debit based on standing instructions from Customers owning Checking Accounts and Savings Accounts.
Paragraph (3)
Letter a
Examples of Checking Accounts and Savings Accounts owned by Customers for specific purposes:
Basic savings accounts, Hajj savings accounts, Cash Waqf Linked Deposit savings accounts, pensioner accounts, accounts blocked as credit guarantees, escrow accounts, accounts in the context of government programs (including People's Business Credit, social assistance, and foreign exchange proceeds from natural resource exports), and Customer investment funds accounts.

Example:
The balance of Customer "CRJ"'s account as of December 31, 2026, is Rp9,000.00 (nine thousand rupiah). The monthly account administrative fee is Rp10,000.00 (ten thousand rupiah), so in December 2026, the Bank only imposes an account administrative fee of Rp9,000.00.
(nine thousand rupiah) up to a zero-balance account. There are no incoming transactions to the customer's account in January 2027, and the Bank does not charge administrative fees because the account balance is zero. If in February 2027 there are incoming funds amounting to Rp200,000.00 (two hundred thousand rupiah) into the account, then the Bank begins charging an administrative account fee of Rp10,000.00 (ten thousand rupiah) in February 2027.
