OJK Monitors BCA Share Ownership Rumors Involving Haji Isam
The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is closely monitoring market dynamics surrounding PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) following rumors that connect businessman Andi Syamsuddin Arsyad, widely known as Haji Isam, to a potential stake acquisition in the bank. OJK is also observing consolidation and corporate actions in the banking sector to ensure developments remain healthy and do not trigger risks to the financial system’s stability. The regulatory scrutiny focuses on whether any future transactions could shift the controlling share of a systemically important financial institution, according to regulatory statements released on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
Regulatory Review of Potential Control Changes
Head of Banking Supervision at OJK, Dian Ediana Rae, stated that the agency actively tracks all developments related to shareholder structures and bank control mechanisms. When transactions carry the potential to alter a bank’s controlling shareholder, the regulator conducts formal evaluations under prevailing laws. OJK ensures that every change in bank ownership and control adheres to prudential principles, good corporate governance, and applicable regulations governing bank ownership and control.
Tidak betul. Rumor BCA diakuisisi Haji Isam sudah dibantah resmi BCA hari ini. Kasus BYAN soal RKAB dari ESDM, bukan OJK, dan Menteri Bahlil tegaskan tak ada kaitannya dengan pembelian saham 30% oleh Jhonlin. Transaksi itu B2B biasa sesuai aturan pasar modal.
OJK evaluates large-scale corporate actions beyond simple equity trades. The prudential review process assesses potential impacts on a bank’s risk profile, exposure concentrations, related-party transactions, and governance standards.
BCA Denies Acquisition Rumors
PT Bank Central Asia Tbk previously addressed the speculation, explicitly denying any ongoing corporate actions involving the businessman. Hera F. Haryn, EVP of Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility at BCA, released a statement in Jakarta on Friday, September 25, 2026, confirming that social media rumors regarding an acquisition of BBCA shares are entirely false, stating, In response to the issue circulating on social media regarding plans for certain corporate actions against BCA, we can convey that this information is not true.

Financial records show that BCA’s ownership remains heavily concentrated. PT Dwimuria Investama Andalan (DIA) holds 67.73 billion shares, representing 54.94 percent of the company.
Broader Stability in National Banking
Despite public speculation and active regulatory oversight, OJK maintains that the wider banking sector remains secure. Dian Ediana Rae emphasized that adequate capitalization levels, healthy liquidity buffers, and strict adherence to prudential principles continue to support the stability of Indonesia’s national banking industry, noting, In general, the OJK assesses that the stability of the national banking industry remains supported by adequate capital and liquidity conditions and the application of prudential principles.
