Coinciding with the 22nd Anniversary of Batu City, PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Timur Tbk or bankjatim participated in the commemoration of the anniversary of this apple city.

Zulhelfi explained, the bankjatim's goal was to increase the number of students in Batu City.

Zulhelfi explained, the purpose of the CSR car shuttle assistance for Batu City Public Junior High School students is to provide adequate transportation facilities to students.

He hopes that the assistance from bankjatim can make the quality of education better and produce graduates who are highly competitive and able to build the region.

According to Zulhelfi again, the provision of CSR operational cars for students in Batu City is a concrete form of synergy between bankjatim and the city government in advancing education. In addition, it is also a form of love and concern for bankjatim to the people of Batu who have given trust to the company in developing business. "Hopefully the assistance that has been given can have a positive impact on the world of education in Batu City and hopefully this cooperation can continue," he added.

In addition to the submission of CSR, on this occasion there was also a symbolic submission of bankjatim branding in the Among Tani Main Market area in Batu City.

In addition, this market not only functions as a place to buy and sell goods / services. However, there is also a culinary tourism destination by not leaving the market function as a means of people's trade.

"Of course this can be an attraction for tourists to visit the market. Therefore, by looking at all kinds of potential, we are working with Batu City Government to do branding to increase exposure corporate image and product image bankjatim, "he said. The facilities and infrastructure branding by bankjatim include table chairs, kiosk numbers, toilet signing, evacuation signing, escalators, thematic lights, and many more.
