The Financial Services Authority (OJK), as the supervisory body of the financial services industry, holds a vision to protect the interests of consumers and the public, and to establish the financial services industry as a globally competitive pillar of the national economy that can advance the general welfare. To that end, OJK continues to encourage all financial institutions, including BPR, to contribute toward achieving these goals. One such effort is through OJK Regulation Number 3 of 2023 on Improving Financial Literacy and Inclusion in the Financial Services Sector for Consumers and the Public, which requires BPRs to actively provide public education on safe and responsible financial products and services at least once per semester.

This year, PT BPR Artha Mertoyudan carried out its financial literacy and inclusion initiative on Tuesday, February 25, 2026, by holding a savings education activity for students at SD Negeri Pare, Temanggung. This school was selected due to the still-limited financial management knowledge in the surrounding area, highlighting the need for greater awareness. Students were introduced to the importance of saving from an early age as part of sound financial management. They learned about the benefits of saving, the role of banks, and simple ways to manage money. The education was delivered in an interactive and child-friendly manner, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere throughout the event. The activity was held under the theme "A Bright Future Through a Love of Saving" and was attended by students accompanied by several teachers.

Through this initiative, it is hoped that students will come to understand the importance of financial management and adopt saving as a positive daily habit, enabling them to build a better future. Furthermore, this financial literacy activity is part of PT BPR Artha Mertoyudan's commitment to supporting the implementation of OJK Regulation Number 51/POJK.03/2017 on the Application of Sustainable Finance for Financial Services Institutions. Under this regulation, financial institutions are encouraged to look beyond economic performance and to also address social and environmental dimensions through various educational and community empowerment programs.
