Kapanlagi.com - As we approach Eid 2025, the spirit of sharing kindness is increasingly felt! The demand for new money for THR and the tradition of giving money is soaring high. Therefore, Bank Indonesia is back with online money exchange services through the PINTAR BI application.

However, there is important news you need to know: the exchange schedule is now divided into two different phases. If you do not pay attention to these crucial dates, your order could be canceled just like that!

The fourth phase of money exchange will be conducted in two phases. To ensure you don't miss out, let's check the complete guide so you can celebrate Eid with joy!

1. Schedule for Exchanging New Money for Eid 2025

Bank Indonesia has announced the exchange of new money that will take place during March 2025, with four different periods that are too good to miss! Make sure to note the important dates according to your domicile and available time.

Here are the details of the latest money exchange schedule through the Pintar BI app:

Period 4 (Latest – Important)

• Each phase only lasts for a short time and has limited quotas. If you do not make a reservation as soon as the dates open, you may have to wait until next year.

2. Conditions for Currency Exchange

Bank Indonesia has established new regulations to ensure that the currency exchange process runs smoothly and orderly. Each individual is only allowed to make a reservation once in a given period.

So remember, after exchanging currency, the NIK used cannot be used again in the same period. Ensure that your ID card is still active and that the information matches what is stated on the official website. Carefully fill in your name, NIK, phone number, and email, as this information will be used for the verification process.

After a successful reservation, you will receive proof of exchange via email. Don't forget, exchanges can only be made at the location and date you have chosen, as the cash circulation officer will not serve exchanges outside the specified schedule!

3. How to Exchange New Money Through the BI Smart Application

Now, the process of exchanging money is easier and can be done right from the comfort of your home! Just follow these practical steps:

1. Open the site pintar.bi.go.id through your mobile browser or laptop.

4. Details of Denominations and Maximum Exchange Quota

Bank Indonesia has set the maximum exchange limit of money at Rp 4.3 million per person, divided into two attractive categories: Large Denominations (UPB) and Small Denominations (UPK). You can choose according to your needs.

Here is an example of the nominal distribution:

Large Denominations (UPB):

• Rp50,000 (30 sheets)
• Rp20,000 (25 sheets)

Small Denominations (UPK):

• Rp10,000 (100 sheets)
• Rp5,000 (200 sheets)
• Rp2,000 (100 sheets)
• Rp1,000 (100 sheets)

For coins, the maximum is only 250 pieces per denomination. If the denomination you ordered is not available at the location, BI has the right to replace it with money from the current emission year.

5. Tips to Avoid Running Out of Exchange Quota

This service is currently very popular among the public, especially towards the end of Ramadan, where the booking quota can run out in just a matter of hours! To ensure you don’t miss out, there are several effective strategies to keep in mind.

First, be sure to know the exact date of the booking opening in your area. Next, prepare all the data and access the site in a timely manner. Don’t forget to check the location you choose, make sure it is close and fits your free schedule.

Remember, if you fail to make a booking, the opportunity to register again will only be available in the next period. So, don’t procrastinate, as the online queue can move as quickly as the offline queue!
