The banking sector is increasingly relying on the wealth management business line as a primary engine for revenue growth. This strategic step was taken to maintain financial performance stability amid high uncertainty surrounding global financial markets.
This positive trend is reflected in the performance of several banks that successfully recorded growth in assets under management (AUM) throughout the first half of this year. PT Bank DBS Indonesia, for instance, reported a 13 percent year-on-year (YoY) surge in managed funds within the priority customer segment as of June 2026.
In addition, the total value of assets under management per customer at the bank also climbed by 15 percent. This achievement proves that upper-middle-class interest in utilizing banking investment services remains solid, making it a supporting pillar for the national banking industry's performance.
