About Bank Syariah Mandiri

Commencing operation in 1999 Bank Syariah Mandiri (BSM) was founded after the Indonesian economy was crippled by the monetary and economic crisis of 1997 which had then lead to a national political crisis. Indonesian banks which were dominated by conventional techniques experienced very serious complications which forced the Indonesian government to take drastic measures to reconstruct and recapitalise a large number of banks in Indonesia. New policies were created that would allow the operation of alternative techniques to banking, one of them Islamic Syariah. With its vision to become the most trusted Syariah banking choice in Indonesia, BSM bases its operation on a combination of business idealism and spiritual values. It is the harmony between these two concepts that makes BSM a special alternative to the conservative Indonesian banking service.
