Information on POJK No. 24 of 2025 concerning Account Management at Commercial Banks.
What adjustments have been made to the account status management of Savings and Current accounts?
Adjustments to account status management refers to the reclassification of Savings and Current account statuses implemented by the Bank in accordance with Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (POJK) regulation No. 24 of 2025 concerning Account Management at Commercial Banks.
This regulation is intended to ensure a more standardised customer account management and to prevent account misuse.
When will the new regulation take effect?
UOB Indonesia will implement the adjustment gradually starting 6 May 2026. From that date, accounts with zero balance for six consecutive months will be automatically closed in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Which accounts are affected by these regulations?
The regulations apply to all Savings and Current accounts in UOB Indonesia for both individual and non-individual customers.
What are the difference in account status before and after the implementation of POJK No. 24 of 2025?
Before the implementation:
- Active Account is an account with deposit and/or withdrawal transactions.
- Passive or Dormant Account is an account with no transaction activity such as deposit or withdrawals for six (6) consecutive months or within the period determined by the Bank in accordance with the applicable regulations.
After the implementation:
- Active Account is an account with transaction activities, including deposits, withdrawals, or balance enquiries.
- Inactive Account is an account with no transaction activity, withdrawals, or balance enquiries for more than 360 (three hundred and sixty) consecutive days.
- Dormant Account is an account with no transaction activity, withdrawals, or balance enquiries for more than 1,800 (one thousand eight hundred) consecutive days.
Accounts with a zero balance for a maximum of six consecutive months from 6 May 2026 will be automatically closed in accordance with applicable regulations.
What happens to accounts that were previously classified as Passive or Dormant?
Upon the implementation of POJK No. 24 of 2025:
- Accounts previously classified as Passive or Dormant but meeting exempted criteria will be reclassified as Active accounts.
- Accounts previously classified as Passive or Dormant will be classified as Inactive accounts during the Bank’s system enhancement period.
- Accounts that do not meet the criteria for Active account status will be classified as Inactive accounts.
- Inactive Accounts will be reclassified as Dormant accounts after 1,440 days from the date they become Inactive account.
Why does the notification letter received by customer in April 2026 still show as Passive or Dormant?
The implementation of POJK No. 24 of 2025 at UOB Indonesia will begin gradually at UOB Indonesia from 6 May 2026, while the account status stated in the notification letter reflects the status as of 31 March 2026.
Therefore, the letter may still display Passive or Dormant status. Effective 6 May 2026, account status will be updated to Inactive account in accordance with POJK No. 24 of 2025.
Will all accounts without transactions automatically become Inactive?
