Singapore (Antara Bali) - PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jabar Banten (Bank BJB) said it will open a remittance service office in Singapore.

The bank, which is owned by the West Java and Banten regional administrations, is seeking the license this year, its President Bien Subiantoro said.

"We hope to secure the license this year, but for the time being we will team up with a local partner offering the service," Bien said  here on Wednesday.  
   
The local partner has a chain of remittance offices with virtual banking system , he said on the sidelines of a meeting between West Java business delegation and  Singaporean counterparts held at the Indonesian embassy.
