About PT. Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, Osaka Sub-Branch
PT. Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, Osaka Sub-Branch is the second office Indonesia's state bank BNI operates in Japan, after its branch in Tokyo. BNI opened the Osaka office in early 2013 as a sub-branch reporting to the Tokyo branch, giving the bank a second foothold in the country beyond the capital. The office occupies the third floor of the Tatsuno Honmachi Building at 3-5-2 Honmachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, an address BNI lists on its own global networks page alongside Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, New York, London, Amsterdam, and Sydney.
In its early years the Osaka sub-branch worked mainly as a marketing and business-development arm for BNI Tokyo, introducing the bank to corporate clients and trading partners across western Japan's Kansai region rather than serving individual customers directly. According to Indonesian financial press coverage from 2019, the bank planned to broaden the office's role toward retail banking, with a particular focus on international remittance services and savings products aimed at kenshushei, the Indonesian trainees and migrant workers who make up a significant part of the community in and around Osaka. At the time, the Tokyo branch and Osaka sub-branch together employed 34 staff, including a manager based in Osaka.
The office gives Indonesians living in the Kansai region, which includes Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, a nearer alternative to traveling to Tokyo for banking matters tied to home, such as sending money to family in Indonesia or maintaining savings accounts with an Indonesian institution. It complements the much larger BNI Tokyo branch, which has operated in Japan since the 1960s and relocated within Tokyo's business district in 2022.
No public phone number, email address, or posted office hours for the Osaka sub-branch could be confirmed through BNI's own site or through Indonesian news coverage of the office, so those fields are left blank here pending a more detailed primary source. Visitors or customers are advised to confirm current contact details and hours directly with BNI before making a trip, since representative and sub-branch offices of Indonesian state banks abroad sometimes operate on more limited public-facing schedules than full retail branches.
