Bandung (Antara Bali) - A state-owned lender PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) has set a target of five million transactions of e-commerce or worth Rp250 billion in nine months to come, the bank official has said.

"Since BNI e-commerce launching was conducted in April 2013, its transaction has reached 3,000 times or worth Rp1 billion," Assistant Vice President E-Banking Business Development BNI, Rudi Indriarto said here on Sunday.

According to him, the realization of e-commerce transaction and its value was still far below the target, so the bank should work hard to reach its target.

"This is a new product, so publication and education regarding the e-commerce should continue to be conducted," he noted.

BNI actually had tried to publicize the e-commerce in 2009/2010 through the short message (sms), but it couldn't be developed and BNI neither made it as the focus of its attention, he said, adding that e-commerce is a trading mechanism through internet.

"If BNI so far conducted its transaction services through credit cards, the bank currently issued debit cards as a new alternative,"  Rudi pointed out. (*/DWA)
