Bank Mandiri Reopens Supriyono’s Account, Transactions Return to Normal

JAKARTA, Jakartaweekly.com — PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk has confirmed that Supriyono’s bank account is now fully operational after previously being placed under a transaction suspension. The move came after the state-owned lender faced public backlash, widespread attention online, and a decline in its share price.

Bank Mandiri President Director Riduan said management had followed up on the transaction suspension imposed on Supriyono’s account, allowing the account to be used normally again as of Wednesday, August 26, 2026.

“As previously conveyed at a joint press conference with the leadership of Commission III of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Bank Mandiri has followed up on the transaction suspension of Mr. Supriyono’s account,” he said in a holding statement issued recently.

Riduan expressed his appreciation for the public’s feedback and attention toward Bank Mandiri. He also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to providing the best possible services to its customers and the Indonesian public.

“We would like to thank the public for their feedback, attention, and trust in Bank Mandiri. Bank Mandiri remains committed to providing the best services to its customers and the people of Indonesia,” he said.

Previously, Bank Mandiri’s decision to suspend transactions on a customer’s account at the request of law enforcement authorities had the potential to undermine public trust in the state-owned bank.

Professor Dwi Hayu Agustini, a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics and Business at Soegijapranata Catholic University, said the political dimension surrounding the case could affect public confidence in Bank Mandiri.

She said the suspension of customer accounts is generally a common practice in the banking industry. Banks have the authority to take such action to prevent the misuse of funds or money laundering. However, the process must be carried out in accordance with applicable legal procedures.

Hayu said the Bank Mandiri case was unusual because of its political dimension. In terms of the amount involved, Rp80.9 million, she said the case was not significant, particularly because the account belonged to an individual customer.

However, she said the case was different because the account was linked to the Aliansi Masyarakat Pati Bersatu (AMPB), which, according to reports from authorities, had the potential to disrupt public order and security in connection with a planned demonstration.

Although Bank Mandiri said the transaction suspension was carried out at the request of law enforcement authorities, Hayu said the legal basis and context behind the action remained unclear.

“This indicates a weakness in Bank Mandiri’s management in making the decision to suspend a customer’s account. The ease with which the bank’s management can be influenced by external parties demonstrates the bank’s weak position vis-à-vis certain parties, particularly those with political interests,” she explained.

Based on data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) reviewed by Jakartaweekly.com, shares of the bank, traded under the ticker BMRI, fell at Wednesday’s close, August 26, 2026, to Rp4,160.

On Monday, August 24, 2026, BMRI shares stood at Rp4,200. As of the close of trading on Thursday, August 27, 2026, BMRI shares had risen to Rp4,210.
