Our Symbol of Identity
Bank Sampoerna’s symbol of identity is clearly reflected on the Bank’s logo. It depicts the three hands philosophy, representing the harmonious synergy among Bank Sampoerna, depositors who place their funds, and borrowers who receive lending facilities.
PT Bank Sahabat Sampoerna (“Bank Sampoerna”) was established as PT Dipo Internasional Bank on 27 September 1990, and commenced its operations on 9 September 1991 based on the business license issued by the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia through the Decree No.668/KMK.013/1991 dated 1 July 1991.
The Bank then changed its name to PT Bank Dipo Internasional and adjusted its Articles of Association in response to the enactment of the Law No.1 of 1995 on Limited Liability Companies.
In 2008, Sampoerna Strategic Group intended to acquire PT Bank Dipo Internasional which was controlled by PT Pahalamas Sejahtera. However, due to global economic crisis, both parties agreed to suspend the transaction. Yet, Sampoerna Strategic Group continued helping the micro and SME entrepreneurs by establishing a financial entity which was managed under Koperasi Mitra Sejati (Sahabat UKM).
