Rancak Media MEDAN – PT Bank Sumut (a regional government-owned enterprise) has announced the distribution of a substantial cash dividend totaling Rp587 billion from its Fiscal Year 2025 profits. These dividends are allocated to its 33 shareholder regencies/cities and the North Sumatra Province (Sumut) government, underscoring the regional bank’s commitment to its stakeholders.

According to Bank Sumut Corporate Secretary Suwandi, this significant dividend payout represents 85% of the regional development bank’s net profit for 2025, which reached an impressive Rp690.6 billion. The decision to distribute such a large portion of earnings was finalized during the Bank Sumut General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) held earlier in April. “The distribution of this cash dividend is in line with the GMS decision from early April, where shareholders agreed to disburse 85% of the net profit as dividends, with the remaining 15% allocated to general reserves,” Suwandi stated on Thursday (30/4/2026).

Beyond the immediate payout, the shareholders of Bank Sumut have also made a strategic agreement: to reinvest 15% of the received cash dividends back into the bank as additional capital. This crucial move was announced by North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution, representing the North Sumatra Province as the controlling shareholder, following the Bank Sumut GMS on April 6, 2026.

Governor Nasution emphasized the importance of this capital injection, stating, “Of the total dividends distributed by Bank Sumut, 15% will be returned or re-deposited as capital in 2026.” This initiative is a clear demonstration of shareholder support aimed at propelling Bank Sumut into the Core Capital Based Commercial Banks Group (KBMI) II category, which mandates a minimum core capital of Rp6 trillion. This strategic capitalization is vital to prevent Bank Sumut, currently in KBMI I, from being reclassified as a BPR (Rural Bank) if its capital base is not strengthened.

Highlighting the bank’s current financial standing, Governor Nasution noted that Bank Sumut’s capital has now reached Rp5.2 trillion. “This means that by 2029, we still need approximately Rp800 billion more. Hopefully, this target can be achieved,” he added, outlining the long-term vision for the bank’s growth. The North Sumatra Provincial Government, as the controlling shareholder with a 45.61% stake based on Bank Sumut’s audited 2025 Financial Report, received a substantial cash dividend of Rp265.7 billion. In line with the GMS agreement, Pemprov Sumut has reinvested 15% of this amount, or Rp39.85 billion, back into the bank’s capital.

Similarly, the South Tapanuli Regency Government, holding an 8.6% share, received Rp50.1 billion in cash dividends and returned Rp7.5 billion to bolster Bank Sumut’s capital. In total, the collective reinvestment from shareholders, stemming from 15% of the distributed cash dividends, amounts to Rp88 billion, as confirmed by Corporate Secretary Suwandi. This concerted effort by shareholders not only ensures a return on their investment but also strengthens the bank’s financial foundation for future expansion and stability.
