In a concerted effort to enhance financial literacy in Indonesia, Tokio Marine Indonesia (TMI) and BOT Finance collaborated in organizing an insurance literacy initiative attended by 60 students from Politeknik Negeri Semarang. As the Financial Services (PUJK), both entities recognize the responsibility to provide comprehensive education on insurance and finance to the young generation.

The literacy program focuses on understanding financing and credit management, along with an in-depth introduction to general insurance. By engaging with students, TMI and BOT Finance aim to equip them with valuable knowledge regarding the benefits and essential role of insurance in everyday life.

Participants displayed significant enthusiasm during the presentation, particularly during the interactive Q&A session. This direct interaction provided students with the opportunity to delve deeper into the concepts taught and explore practical applications in their daily lives.

"In this ever-evolving era, a profound understanding of insurance and finance is key to addressing various risks and challenges. We take pride in contributing through this literacy initiative and hope that the knowledge imparted will serve as a foundation for students to make informed financial decisions," stated Hadi Sutopo, Head of the Motor Business Department of Tokio Marine Indonesia.

Both TMI and BOT Finance are committed to making this literacy initiative a part of their ongoing efforts to make positive contributions to Indonesian society. The aspiration is that the understanding of insurance continues to grow, and communities become increasingly prepared to face various risks in the future.

About BOT Finance

PT. BUMIPUTERA-BOT FINANCE (“BBF”) is a joint venture company established in 1982 together with AJB Bumiputera 1912, a major Indonesian life insurance company. It is the second overseas subsidiary to be established by BOT Lease Co., Ltd. In business for over 40 years, PT. BUMIPUTERA-BOT FINANCE is one of the oldest Japanese leasing companies in the region.
The head office is located in the center of Jakarta's main street, Sudirman Street with branch locations in Bandung and Surabaya. Since the company was established, its business infrastructure has expanded mainly because of its car financing business (private and commercial vehicles), a sector where vigorous demand is always present. Recently, however, the company has also been active in providing equipment leases to Japanese companies that are strongly advancing in the region, providing equipment leases to regional enterprises, and providing construction machinery leases. The company aims to expand in each of these four main business areas.
BBF’s goal is to become a finance company capable of responding to the diverse needs of customers.
