What BRI Danareksa does

BRI Danareksa Sekuritas (BRIDS) is an Indonesian securities firm headquartered in Jakarta, operating as a majority-owned subsidiary of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI), which acquired a 67% stake in 2018 and rebranded the firm from Danareksa Sekuritas in October 2020. The company offers a full-service capital markets platform spanning retail brokerage, institutional brokerage, investment banking (IPO underwriting, M&A advisory, rights issues, bond and sukuk issuance), and equity/fixed income research. Its core retail technology is the BRIGHTS unified mobile and web trading application, which enables trading of stocks, mutual funds, and bonds in a single interface, supported by a WhatsApp-based virtual assistant (BRIANA), digital onboarding via eform.brights.co.id, and a margin trading facility. Investment banking capabilities are anchored by Direct Market Access (DMA) institutional trading technology and a track record of landmark mandates, including the BRI Rights Issue (Rp95.92 trillion) and the Mitratel IPO (Rp18.34 trillion).

BRIDS generates revenue primarily through transaction-based brokerage commissions (~54% of revenue, with retail contributing ~52% of brokerage), supplemented by investment banking advisory and underwriting fees, margin lending (gadai efek) interest income, and third-party product distribution fees (mutual funds, government bonds). Pricing is pay-as-you-go: buy fee 0.17%, sell fee 0.27%, minimum deposit Rp100,000, with a freemium app model and free research and recommendations for all users. Distribution is hybrid: a 10-branch direct network and 14 SID outlets; ~30+ SIB partner outlets embedded in BRI bank branches via the 2021 APPE agreement; 697 IDX Investment Galleries operated jointly with IDX and Pegadaian; and a campus partnership program across 30+ Indonesian universities. Customer segments include retail investors (targeting under-40 millennials via BRIGHTS), institutional investors, corporate issuers and SOEs/government entities. In 2025, the firm reported 23% revenue growth and over 200% operating profit growth, driven by the BRIGHTS digital channel (online retail +156% YoY) and was named Most Active Securities Firm by IDX.
