Director at unit of Indonesia richest family's bank makes Forbes Asia's Power Businesswomen list

BCA Digital, a digital banking subsidiary of Indonesia’s largest bank by market capitalization, BCA, has been recognized by Forbes Asia for placing one of its executives, Lanny Budiati, on its Power Businesswomen list. Budiati, who leads BCA Digital, has been instrumental in transforming the unit, which was formerly known as Bank Royal and acquired by BCA in 2019.

Since its launch of the blu mobile banking app in 2021, the digital lender has become profitable, expanded substantially, and now holds the sixth position among digital banks in Indonesia. Despite a sluggish domestic economy and intense competition from rivals such as SeaBank and Bank Jago, BCA Digital has managed to grow, recording an 85% increase in loans and a 59% rise in deposits, with a client base of 3.1 million as of December 2025.

Younger Indonesians, particularly Gen Zers and millennials, have been key to the digital lender’s expansion, as it positions itself as a mobile-first banking experience tailored to their financial needs.
