Therefore, Islamic banking system in Indonesia must operate as accordance to Internal Standard, as explained by Director of Islamic banking directorate Bank Indonesia (DPbs-BI), Mulya E Siregar to pkesinteraktif.com, at His office.
International standard does mean it has to be like foreign Bank, HSBC, CitiBank or Standard Chartered, but more toward the ICT, human capital, service and innovative products which have International banks standard. In order to be competitive in offering services and products among its conventional counterpart.
