PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Sulawesi Tenggara (Bank Sultra) successfully achieved a brilliant accomplishment by winning an award at the Bisnis Indonesia Awards (BIA) 2026. The pride of the people of Southeast Sulawesi was named the leading regional development bank in the category of assets under IDR 20 trillion, during the awarding night held at the Raffles Hotel, Jakarta, on Thursday (July 2, 2026).
The award was presented directly by the leadership of the Bisnis Indonesia Group, namely Commissioner Dorothea Samola and Managing Director Hery Trianto, to the President Director of Bank Sultra, Andi Permana Diputra Abubakar.
