BCA Dismisses Rumors of Acquisition by Haji Isam
Rumors regarding the acquisition of BCA shares by Haji Isam were previously widely discussed on social media.
PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) has refuted claims of a planned acquisition by businessman Haji Isam. Hera F. Haryn, Executive Vice President for Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility, confirmed in a statement on September 25, 2026 that the information circulating on social media was false. She urged the public to rely on official sources like the company's website and reputable media outlets.

Customers with inquiries can reach out via Halo BCA at 1500888, the haloBCA application, WhatsApp Bank BCA at 08111500998, or email halobca@bca.co.id. The rumors gained traction after an Instagram post by @kaltimfolks claimed Haji Isam had acquired BCA shares.
Haji Isam's company, PT Jhonlin Baratama, recently engaged in a share transaction with PT Bayan Resources Tbk (BYAN), purchasing shares from BYAN founder Low Tuck Kwong and his daughter Elaine Low. BYAN Director Jenny Quantero noted that the transaction would grant Jhonlin 10,000,000,500 common shares in the company, potentially causing significant negative impacts on operational activities, legal aspects, financial stability, and business continuity.
