Indonesia’s first unicorn Go-Jek joins Islamic bank haj savings scheme
JAKARTA – Indonesia’s first billion-dollar start-up Go-Jek has joined Islamic bank BNI Syariah’s haj savings program to make the pilgrimage more accessible for the firm’s drivers.
The companies share the same vision to make the haj accessible for Go-Jek drivers, Ida Triana Widowati, the bank’s general manager for haj and umrah told Salaam Gateway.
BNI Syariah’s Baitullah iB Hasanah program allows Go-Jek drivers to save in a structured manner. Drivers will save around 30 thousand rupiah ($2) per day for 28 months to accumulate around 25 million rupiah ($1,676) that they could then use as a down payment with the ministry of religious affairs to qualify for a haj place.
