BAZNAS Signs MoU with Bank Negara Indonesia to Create Digitalisation Channel for Indonesia’s Zakat Management

The National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and a Collective Labour Agreement with Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), in order to create a digitalization channel to manage Zakat collections in Indonesia, according to local media reports.

Why it Matters?

The cooperation between BAZNAS and BNI is in response to a directive given by Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the Cinta Zakat Movement programme in mid-April 2021, to make it easier for the public to make payments and digitize the management of Zakat, donations and alms. In addition, the cooperation will include a joint campaign program for employees, BNI customers and the general public via various digital channels.
