    BRI Museum in Purwokerto

    In this recent days, who is not familiar with Bank BRI? Bank Rakyat Indonesia
    (BRI) is the largest bank in Indonesia which has assets in about 583 trillion rupiah (data
    was taken on August 2013) and continues to grow today.

    Bank BRI is the oldest bank which has a long history in Indonesia. It was
    founded on December 16, 1895 by Raden Aria Wirjaatmadja, in the cool little town of
    lush, Purwokerto, Central Java. This museum located on Jl. Sudirman No. 57,
    Purwokerto. BRI Museum does not look like a museum building in general. The shape
    of the building resembles a regular home building.

    The items which is displayed are not too many. We can see the coins of the
    money from Majapahit, banknotes Chinese, Japanese, Dutch era, the period of
    independence, the legacy banking machines and relics belong to Raden Aria
    Wirjaatmadja. Visitors are free from charge. They only have to fill in the guest book
    which is provided there. Besides, there also guides who will show and explain to the
    visitors all about the museum.

    According to the story, in 1894, a Patih Banyumas whose name has been
    familiar since my childhood through Warta BRI, Raden Aria Wirjaatmadja, party
    invitations to attend the circumcision of a Master. In the midst of the party, he wondered
    why a teacher can have a big and luxurious party. At that time, a lavish party marked by
    the presence of the officials, the dishes are abundant and their Tayuban art that became
    the epitome of luxury party in Banyumas society.

    Further, he said, teacher salaries at that time were unlikely to be enough to


    finance the party. Then, amid a party atmosphere tayuban, he asked where did the
    teacher get enough money to fund the party. It was from moneylenders with high
    interest rates, the debt repayment burden even beyond the ability of the teacher. Raden
    Aria moved to provide assistance by providing low-interest loans to pay off the debt of
    the Master. However, a lot of the native aristocracy had the same problem with the
    Master. To help them, Raden Aria manage cash mosque into grants low interest loans.
    The condition is then known by his boss Resident Assistant (E. Sieburgh) that prohibits
    the use of cash in addition to the purposes of the mosque.

    When he published an official letter to establish the first Rural Bank for natives.
    On 16 December 1895 Hulp en Spaarbank der Inlandsce Bestuurs Ambtenaren (Bank
    Owned employee assistance and saves pradja Praja Holder Natives) operates the first
    time.

    Before Indonesia became an independent country, many banks have sprung up


    in Indonesia such as N.V. De Batakscche Bank in 1937 or Minangkabau Vereeniging in
    1917, but did not develop. Only Prijajis Bank is evolving to become Bank Rakyat
    Indonesia today. At the time of independence, it became the first bank owned by the
    government under PP 1 1946.
