Launched in 2007, this program seeks to improve financial literacy among migrant workers, helping them manage their finances better and equipping them with entrepreneurial skills for when they return to Indonesia.

The Mandiri Sahabatku initiative aligns with Bank Mandiri’s broader strategy to support the economic independence of PMI, in accordance with President Prabowo’s vision for promoting sustainable economic growth. By focusing on financial planning education and business development skills, the program aims to enhance the financial stability of migrant workers in the long term.

MIR continues to strengthen its collaboration with Bank Mandiri to deliver increasingly inclusive banking services. Through the Livin’ by Mandiri super app, PMI in Malaysia can now easily open digital bank accounts and access a variety of financial solutions, supporting the vision of the Indonesian Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises to build resilient and independent micro and small businesses.

Fitri concluded that these initiatives reflect Bank Mandiri’s commitment to leading the digital transformation of banking, focusing on accelerating inclusive services that meet the evolving needs of the Indonesian community. The collaboration between MIR and Bank Mandiri underscores the importance of providing comprehensive financial solutions for migrant workers and supporting their role in Indonesia’s economic development.
