The Dedication of BRI’s Female Field Officers Serving the Central Sulawesi Islands

Eka Fitriyani Wulandari, a BRI field officer at the Salakan unit, regularly visits Bungin, Bakalan, and Bulungkobit islands in the Banggai Islands regency, Central Sulawesi, to make sure banking services are accessible. The 34-year-old makes the sea journey by boat or limited ferry just to serve the community. Joining BRI in 2014, Eka has been a field officer since 2018. She opens up financing access, visits customers, supports BRILink agents, and gives business guidance to locals, who are mostly fishermen, coconut farmers, and small grocery traders. "I chose a career as a field officer because this role is really close to the people. I get to meet them directly, mingle, and understand what customers need on the ground," Eka said. Even with infrastructure limitations and tough terrain, she’s grateful to see how eager the locals are. https://www.urbanjabar.com/news/9217313838/menerjang-ombak-dari-pulau-ke-pulau-dedikasi-mantri-perempuan-bri-menjaga-akses-keuangan-di-wilayah-kepulauan-sulawesi-tengah
