Google Cloud and PT Bank Aladin Syariah Tbk ("Bank Aladin") formed a strategic partnership to help Aladin Bank achieve its strategy and create innovative Sharia financial services innovations.
Aladin Bank strives to provide ground-breaking Sharia-based digital banking services to Indonesians by offering technology-driven products and features that fulfil their requirements and aspirations.
Powered by Google Cloud’s robust technology and best practices, Aladin Bank aims to establish a strong technology architecture and vibrant ecosystem that will be critical to the digital bank’s long-term success in the market.
Dyota Marsudi, President Director, Aladin Bank, said: “This strategic collaboration with Google will provide scalable and efficient infrastructure for Aladin Bank and enable us to further our mission to create new banking experiences for the community, to foster financial inclusion based on Sharia principles. We value Google as our partner in the Indonesian digital banking industry.”
Aladin Bank will take use of Google Cloud's fast, dependable, and secure compute, storage, and network services, which are located in Google Cloud's Jakarta cloud region, which opened in June 2020 in Indonesia. Aladin Bank can meet local regulatory and compliance requirements while also accelerating innovation closer to home by relying on local infrastructure.
“The digital banking industry in Indonesia is growing, and we are investing in local infrastructure and the developer ecosystem to power the success of our valued customers like Aladin Bank,” said Megawaty Khie, Country Director, Indonesia, Google Cloud. “As a new digital banking player in Indonesia, Aladin Bank is well-positioned to bring forth innovative solutions to benefit organisations of all sizes, particularly SMEs that are so important to Indonesia’s economy, and we are delighted to partner with them on their journey.”
Budi Kusmiantoro, CTO, Aladin Bank, a former 10-year Googler himself, also hailed this collaboration with enthusiasm: “We are excited to collaborate with Google for our long-term success, covering areas like cloud services, scalable infrastructure, data analytics, and machine learning. Our in-house team is receiving strong support and training from Google Cloud’s engineers in Southeast Asia, who will help upskill our local talent in Indonesia. Our technology team can be much more confident now because Google Cloud’s expertise is just a chat away whenever we need one.”
