Question 1 of 28
1. Question
A new regulatory change impacting Permata Bank’s digital lending platform is announced with a very tight implementation deadline. You, as a product manager, discover that the existing platform architecture cannot fully accommodate the new requirements without significant modifications, potentially delaying the launch of a key new product. Your team expresses concerns about the feasibility of meeting the deadline given the technical challenges. Which of the following approaches best demonstrates adaptability, leadership, and problem-solving in this situation, aligning with Permata Bank’s values?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving financial landscape, Permata Bank emphasizes proactive adaptation and strategic pivoting. The scenario presented requires a nuanced understanding of several key principles. Firstly, the importance of a growth mindset is crucial. This involves viewing challenges as opportunities for learning and development, rather than as threats to one’s capabilities. Secondly, the ability to manage ambiguity effectively is paramount. This means being comfortable making decisions even when faced with incomplete information and being able to adjust one’s approach as new information becomes available. Thirdly, the value of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team is key. By openly communicating challenges and seeking input from colleagues, the employee can leverage the collective expertise of the team to find innovative solutions. Finally, the scenario underscores the need for resilience and persistence. Despite initial setbacks, the employee should maintain a positive attitude and continue to explore alternative strategies until a viable solution is found. Therefore, the most effective approach involves embracing the ambiguity, seeking collaborative solutions, and maintaining a resilient mindset focused on continuous learning and adaptation. This aligns with Permata Bank’s values of innovation, teamwork, and customer-centricity, all essential for navigating complex challenges and achieving success in a dynamic environment.

Question 2 of 28
2. Question
Permata Bank experiences a significant data breach, potentially compromising sensitive customer information. As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), what is the MOST appropriate course of action to take in response to this crisis?
Correct
The most effective approach involves a combination of proactive communication, ethical decision-making, and adherence to regulatory guidelines. The initial step is to acknowledge the potential breach of customer data and immediately notify the appropriate authorities within Permata Bank, such as the compliance department, the IT security team, and senior management. Transparency is paramount in maintaining trust and demonstrating a commitment to ethical conduct. Next, initiate a thorough investigation into the data breach to determine the extent of the breach, identify the cause of the breach, and assess the potential impact on customers. This investigation should be conducted by a specialized cybersecurity team.
To protect customers from potential harm, immediately notify all affected customers about the data breach, providing them with clear and concise information about the type of data that was compromised, the potential risks they face, and the steps they can take to protect themselves from identity theft or fraud. Permata Bank should also offer affected customers free credit monitoring services and identity theft protection services.
To comply with regulatory requirements, notify the relevant regulatory authorities about the data breach, such as Bank Indonesia and OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan), as required by law. Permata Bank should cooperate fully with the regulatory authorities and provide them with all necessary information about the data breach. Finally, review and enhance Permata Bank’s cybersecurity protocols to prevent similar data breaches from occurring in the future. This could involve implementing stronger encryption measures, enhancing intrusion detection systems, and providing ongoing security awareness training to employees.

A high-value client of Permata Bank experiences a significant service failure due to a system error that results in a delayed international transfer, causing financial losses for the client. The client is extremely upset and threatens to close their accounts. As the regional director, what is the MOST appropriate course of action to address the situation and retain the client’s business?

Question 4 of 28
4. Question
You are a procurement officer at Permata Bank. A vendor who is bidding on a large contract offers you an expensive gift as a token of appreciation for considering their proposal. What is the most ethical course of action to take in this situation, aligning with Permata Bank’s code of conduct?
Correct
Permata Bank values ethical conduct and expects its employees to uphold the highest standards of integrity. This scenario presents an ethical dilemma that requires a candidate to prioritize the bank’s interests and comply with its code of conduct.
The most ethical course of action is to politely decline the offer and report the incident to your supervisor. Accepting the gift would create a conflict of interest and could compromise your objectivity in future dealings with the vendor. Reporting the incident ensures transparency and demonstrates your commitment to ethical conduct.
While accepting the gift and disclosing it to your supervisor might seem like a compromise, it still creates a potential conflict of interest. Accepting the gift without disclosing it is unethical and a violation of Permata Bank’s code of conduct. Confronting the vendor directly could be perceived as unprofessional and might damage the relationship between Permata Bank and the vendor.

Question 5 of 28
5. Question
Mr. Budi, a high-net-worth client of Permata Bank, is irate because of unexpected charges on his credit card statement. He demands immediate reversal of the charges and threatens to close his accounts if his demands are not met instantly. As a customer relationship manager, what is the MOST appropriate course of action, aligning with Permata Bank’s values of customer-centricity and regulatory compliance?
Correct
The most effective approach involves a structured and transparent communication strategy. This includes acknowledging the client’s frustration and clearly outlining the bank’s internal review process regarding the contested charges. Providing a realistic timeframe for resolution, setting expectations for regular updates, and offering a temporary goodwill gesture demonstrates both empathy and a commitment to finding a fair resolution. Escalating the issue prematurely without a thorough internal investigation could lead to inaccurate information being conveyed to the client and potentially damage the bank’s reputation. While immediate concessions might appease the client in the short term, they could set a precedent for future disputes and undermine the bank’s policies. Ignoring the client’s concerns or providing vague assurances would only exacerbate the situation and further erode trust. Offering a clear path to resolution, coupled with consistent communication, is crucial for maintaining a positive client relationship and upholding the bank’s integrity. A crucial aspect is also to document all interactions and steps taken to ensure compliance and accountability. The temporary goodwill gesture, while not an admission of fault, shows commitment to customer satisfaction and can help de-escalate the situation while the investigation is ongoing.

Question 6 of 28
6. Question
A senior product manager at Permata Bank, Ibu Ratna, is leading a team responsible for both a well-established, highly profitable savings account product and exploring innovative new digital banking services. The team is divided: some members strongly advocate for continuing to focus primarily on the existing product, citing its proven success and low risk, while others passionately believe that the bank needs to aggressively pursue the new digital service to remain competitive in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape. As Ibu Ratna, how should you best navigate this situation to align the team and make the most effective strategic decision for Permata Bank?
Correct
The most effective approach in this scenario involves a multifaceted response demonstrating adaptability, leadership, and a commitment to Permata Bank’s values. Initially, acknowledging the validity of both perspectives is crucial. It shows respect for differing opinions and fosters a collaborative environment. Next, propose a structured discussion facilitated by data analysis. This aligns with Permata Bank’s data-driven decision-making culture. The data should encompass customer feedback, market trends, and competitor analysis related to both the established and proposed services. This ensures the decision is grounded in objective evidence, rather than subjective preferences. Furthermore, suggest a pilot program for the new service. This allows for real-world testing and minimizes risk. The pilot program should have clearly defined metrics for success, aligning with Permata Bank’s performance-oriented culture. Simultaneously, maintain and optimize the existing service based on ongoing performance data. This shows a commitment to continuous improvement, a key value at Permata Bank. Throughout this process, ensure transparent communication with the team, stakeholders, and customers. Explain the rationale behind the proposed changes and solicit feedback. This builds trust and fosters a sense of shared ownership. Finally, be prepared to adjust the strategy based on the results of the data analysis and pilot program.

Question 7 of 28
7. Question
Permata Bank has recently implemented a new software system for loan processing. You and several of your colleagues are struggling to adapt to the new system, and formal training sessions are not scheduled for another month. What is the MOST effective course of action to take in this situation, demonstrating initiative and a commitment to team success?
Correct
The optimal response demonstrates initiative, problem-solving, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Taking the initiative to learn the new software independently showcases self-motivation and a proactive approach to professional development. Identifying the training gap and proposing a solution to management demonstrates analytical thinking and a desire to improve team efficiency. Offering to mentor colleagues demonstrates teamwork and a willingness to share knowledge. Simply struggling with the software or passively waiting for training is not proactive or beneficial to the team. Complaining without offering solutions is detrimental to team morale. While seeking assistance is helpful, relying solely on others without attempting to learn independently demonstrates a lack of initiative.

Question 8 of 28
8. Question
A new fintech company is rapidly gaining market share in Indonesia by offering micro-loans via a mobile app, directly competing with Permata Bank’s existing personal loan products. The fintech company’s success is largely attributed to its streamlined application process and AI-powered risk assessment. You are a branch manager at Permata Bank, and your team’s personal loan applications have significantly decreased. Several team members express frustration and resistance to adopting new digital tools and strategies. Which of the following actions would MOST effectively demonstrate adaptability, leadership, and a customer-centric approach to address this challenge and maintain Permata Bank’s competitiveness?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving financial landscape, Permata Bank must adapt to emerging technologies, regulatory changes, and shifting customer expectations.

They will be open to learning new skills, adjusting their strategies, and collaborating with colleagues to navigate ambiguity effectively. This adaptability is crucial for Permata Bank to maintain its competitive edge, deliver innovative solutions, and provide exceptional customer service. A leader who can effectively motivate their team through these transitions, delegate responsibilities appropriately, and make sound decisions under pressure will be invaluable in driving the bank’s success. Furthermore, the bank’s commitment to diversity and inclusion necessitates employees who are culturally sensitive, value diverse perspectives, and promote an inclusive work environment. This holistic approach to adaptability and flexibility ensures that Permata Bank remains resilient, innovative, and responsive to the ever-changing needs of its stakeholders.

Question 9 of 28
9. Question
A high-net-worth client, Ibu Ratna, expresses extreme dissatisfaction with Permata Bank’s wealth management services after a significant investment underperforms due to unforeseen market volatility. She threatens to withdraw all her assets and publicly voice her negative experience. Considering Permata Bank’s commitment to client-centricity and long-term relationships, which course of action would best demonstrate adaptability, problem-solving, and effective communication to rebuild Ibu Ratna’s trust and retain her business?
Correct
The most effective approach is a combination of clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and a willingness to adapt strategies. Initially, communicating the situation transparently to the client is crucial. This builds trust and demonstrates honesty. The communication should acknowledge the issue, outline the steps being taken to rectify it, and set realistic expectations for resolution. Simultaneously, a thorough analysis of the root cause is essential to prevent recurrence. This may involve reviewing internal processes, identifying bottlenecks, or retraining staff. Offering a tangible solution or compensation demonstrates a commitment to customer satisfaction. This could be a fee waiver, a service upgrade, or a personalized gesture of goodwill. Finally, proactively seeking feedback from the client provides valuable insights and allows for continuous improvement. This shows a dedication to learning from mistakes and enhancing the overall customer experience. A reactive approach may temporarily appease the client but doesn’t address the underlying issues or foster long-term loyalty. Ignoring the client’s concerns or deflecting blame would further damage the relationship and erode trust. A purely transactional solution, without addressing the emotional aspect of the situation, may leave the client feeling undervalued.

Question 10 of 28
10. Question
During a sudden and severe economic downturn, Permata Bank faces a significant increase in loan defaults, leading to widespread concern among employees about job security and the bank’s stability. As a team leader, you notice a sharp decline in team morale and productivity. Which of the following actions best demonstrates effective leadership in this challenging situation?
Correct
The most appropriate response reflects a leader who can effectively balance empathy, decisiveness, and strategic communication during a crisis. Option a demonstrates these qualities.

Option d focuses solely on the technical aspects without considering the human element, which is crucial for maintaining team morale and productivity during a crisis.

Question 11 of 28
11. Question
During an internal audit at a Permata Bank branch in Surabaya, you, a newly appointed Relationship Manager, discover that a high-net-worth client’s account opening documentation lacks a crucial Beneficial Ownership Declaration form, a mandatory requirement under Indonesian AML/KYC regulations. The account was opened six months ago by a colleague who has since left the bank. The client, a prominent local businessman, is currently overseas. You need to decide on the best course of action that aligns with Permata Bank’s values, regulatory compliance, and client relationship management. What should you do?
Correct
The scenario presents a situation requiring adaptability, teamwork, and communication skills within Permata Bank’s context. The optimal response reflects proactive problem-solving, adherence to compliance, and a client-centric approach. The best course of action involves a multi-pronged strategy: immediately informing the AML/KYC compliance officer due to the potential regulatory breach, contacting the client to understand the situation and attempt to rectify the documentation issue (while remaining compliant), and collaborating with the branch operations team to investigate the root cause of the procedural failure. This demonstrates initiative, risk management, and a commitment to both regulatory adherence and customer service, aligning with Permata Bank’s values. It also reflects the importance of teamwork and clear communication in addressing complex issues within a banking environment. The other options represent either incomplete solutions, potential compliance violations, or a lack of customer focus. Ignoring the compliance aspect is unacceptable in a regulated environment like banking. Simply blaming the client or branch staff avoids taking responsibility and addressing the underlying problem.

Question 12 of 28
12. Question
A Project Manager at Permata Bank is leading a critical project to implement a new customer onboarding system. Halfway through the project, new regulations are announced by Bank Indonesia that significantly impact the data security and compliance requirements of the system. The initial project plan does not adequately address these new regulations. Which of the following actions best demonstrates adaptability, leadership potential, and teamwork in this situation, aligning with Permata Bank’s values?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving banking landscape, particularly within Permata Bank, adaptability and flexibility are paramount. A Project Manager who demonstrates an ability to quickly pivot strategies, maintain team morale during ambiguous situations, and proactively communicate changes is vital for project success. The ideal response reflects understanding that the initial plan, while well-intentioned, is no longer optimal given the new regulatory requirements.

It acknowledges the potential impact on the team and prioritizes open communication to mitigate any negative effects. Furthermore, it aligns with Permata Bank’s values of transparency, collaboration, and customer focus, as the regulatory changes are likely designed to better protect customer interests. Delaying communication, unilaterally altering the plan, or ignoring the potential impact on the team are all detrimental to project success and reflect a lack of key behavioral competencies. The proactive approach ensures the project remains compliant, efficient, and aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives. The response also showcases an understanding of change management principles, recognizing that people are more likely to embrace change when they are involved in the process.

She insists that the transaction is legitimate and demands that the funds be released immediately. As a Permata Bank employee, what is the MOST appropriate way to handle this situation?
Correct
The most effective approach is to calmly explain the situation to the customer, emphasizing Permata Bank’s commitment to security and fraud prevention. Clearly articulate the specific security concerns that triggered the hold, such as unusual transaction patterns or inconsistencies with the customer’s profile. Offer concrete steps the customer can take to verify their identity and release the funds, such as providing additional documentation or answering security questions. Demonstrating empathy and understanding the customer’s frustration is crucial, but it’s equally important to maintain a firm stance on security protocols. Simply releasing the funds without proper verification would compromise the bank’s security and potentially expose the customer to fraud. Blaming the system or offering vague explanations would likely escalate the customer’s frustration and erode trust. Avoiding direct communication and relying solely on email or automated messages is impersonal and ineffective in resolving the issue.

Question 15 of 28
15. Question
Permata Bank has just launched a new investment product targeting high-net-worth individuals. A week later, Bank Indonesia (BI) announces a new regulation that significantly impacts the product’s core features and tax implications. As a team leader, you are responsible for the product’s success. Which of the following actions demonstrates the best combination of adaptability, leadership, and problem-solving in this situation, reflecting Permata Bank’s values?
Correct
The optimal approach involves understanding the interplay between adaptability, leadership, and problem-solving, especially within a regulated banking environment like Permata Bank. The scenario requires a leader to navigate a sudden regulatory change that impacts a key product, necessitating a rapid strategic pivot. Option a represents the most effective response because it prioritizes immediate action (assessing the impact), collaborative problem-solving (involving the product team), transparent communication (to stakeholders), and a proactive approach to compliance (engaging with regulators). This demonstrates adaptability, decisive leadership, and a commitment to maintaining both business continuity and regulatory adherence. Options b, c, and d, while containing elements of sound management, fall short in critical areas. Option b focuses too narrowly on internal processes without addressing the external regulatory landscape. Option c emphasizes stakeholder communication but lacks a concrete plan for adapting the product strategy. Option d delays action by prioritizing a comprehensive review before taking any steps to mitigate the impact, which could lead to non-compliance and reputational damage. In Permata Bank’s context, where regulatory compliance is paramount, a swift and decisive response that balances internal adjustments with external engagement is crucial. A leader’s ability to quickly assess the situation, mobilize the team, and communicate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders is essential for navigating such challenges successfully. The chosen response reflects Permata Bank’s values of integrity, customer focus, and collaboration.

Question 16 of 28
16. Question
You are leading a project team at Permata Bank tasked with developing a new mobile banking application. Two of your team members, both highly skilled developers, are constantly disagreeing on the best approach to coding certain features, leading to delays and tension within the team. As the project lead, what is the MOST appropriate course of action, reflecting Permata Bank’s emphasis on teamwork and collaboration?
Correct
This scenario requires a nuanced understanding of teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution. While individual contributions are valuable, the primary goal is to foster a cohesive and productive team environment. Publicly criticizing the team member would be detrimental to morale and could damage their confidence. Ignoring the conflict and hoping it resolves itself is unlikely to be effective and could allow the tension to escalate. Assigning individual tasks might seem like a solution, but it doesn’t address the underlying conflict and could further isolate the team members. The most effective approach involves facilitating a private conversation between the team members to understand the root cause of the conflict and help them find a mutually agreeable solution. This demonstrates leadership, conflict resolution skills, and a commitment to building a positive team environment. It also aligns with Permata Bank’s values of collaboration and respect. The conversation should focus on finding common ground and establishing clear communication protocols to prevent similar conflicts in the future.

Question 17 of 28
17. Question
Rina, a relationship manager at Permata Bank, discovers that a long-time client, Mr. Budi, may be using his account for transactions that resemble money laundering, although Mr. Budi claims they are legitimate business dealings. Mr. Budi is a high-value client, and his continued business is crucial for Rina to meet her quarterly targets. Rina also knows that reporting Mr. Budi could potentially damage her relationship with him and impact her performance review. Which of the following actions should Rina prioritize first, aligning with Permata Bank’s commitment to ethical conduct and regulatory compliance?
Correct
The scenario presents a complex situation involving a potential ethical dilemma, conflicting stakeholder interests, and regulatory compliance issues within Permata Bank. The optimal approach requires a candidate to demonstrate a strong understanding of Permata Bank’s values, relevant regulations (especially those related to customer data privacy and anti-money laundering), and ethical decision-making frameworks. The best course of action involves transparency, adherence to legal and ethical guidelines, and a commitment to protecting the bank’s reputation and customer trust. Escalating the issue to compliance and legal departments is crucial to ensure that all actions taken are in accordance with the law and bank policies. Ignoring the potential violation, prioritizing short-term gains over ethical considerations, or attempting to handle the situation without proper authorization would be detrimental to the bank and its stakeholders. Balancing the needs of different stakeholders while upholding ethical principles is a key aspect of this scenario. This also reflects the bank’s commitment to good corporate governance and risk management. The situation necessitates a comprehensive understanding of Permata Bank’s internal policies, regulatory landscape, and ethical standards.

Question 19 of 28
19. Question
Due to a national health crisis, there’s a sudden 70% increase in Permata Bank customers using digital banking channels. Branch traffic plummets, but digital support lines are overwhelmed. As a branch manager, what is the MOST effective initial course of action, aligning with Permata Bank’s values of customer focus and adaptability, while also considering employee well-being and long-term strategic goals?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving banking landscape, Permata Bank prioritizes adaptability and customer-centricity. When faced with a sudden surge in digital banking adoption due to a nationwide movement encouraging social distancing, a branch manager needs to balance immediate customer needs, long-term strategic goals, and employee well-being. The most effective response involves a multi-faceted approach: swiftly reallocating resources to bolster digital support channels (phone, online chat, mobile app assistance) to handle the increased volume, proactively communicating with customers about the shift and available digital resources, and equipping branch staff with the skills and tools to guide customers through digital onboarding. Simultaneously, the manager should analyze the data to identify customer segments struggling most with the transition and tailor support accordingly. It’s crucial to provide clear and transparent communication to branch staff, acknowledging the changes, offering reassurance, and providing opportunities for training and upskilling to ensure they can confidently assist customers in the new environment. Ignoring the digital shift, solely focusing on branch operations, or neglecting staff morale would all be detrimental to Permata Bank’s long-term success and customer relationships. A balanced approach that prioritizes digital support, customer communication, employee empowerment, and data-driven insights is essential.

Question 20 of 28
20. Question
A high-net-worth client, Ibu Ratna, is irate because a large international transfer she initiated three days ago has not yet been processed, causing significant disruption to her overseas business dealings. She is threatening to close all her accounts with Permata Bank if the issue is not resolved immediately. As a Relationship Manager, which of the following actions would be the MOST appropriate first response, aligning with Permata Bank’s commitment to premier client service and regulatory compliance?
Correct
The most effective response is to acknowledge the client’s frustration, empathize with their situation, and take immediate action to resolve the issue while adhering to Permata Bank’s policies. This involves actively listening to understand the root cause of the problem, offering a sincere apology for the inconvenience caused, and explaining the steps that will be taken to rectify the situation. It is crucial to provide a clear timeline for resolution and keep the client informed throughout the process. Escalating the issue to a supervisor or relevant department is necessary if the initial attempts to resolve the problem are unsuccessful or if the issue requires specialized expertise.

Maintaining a calm and professional demeanor throughout the interaction is essential, even when dealing with a highly emotional client. This approach aligns with Permata Bank’s customer-centric values and commitment to providing excellent service. The goal is to turn a negative experience into a positive one by demonstrating empathy, taking ownership of the problem, and providing a timely and effective solution.

Question 21 of 28
21. Question
A high-net-worth client, Ibu Ratna, approaches your desk at Permata Bank, visibly upset. She claims a transaction you processed yesterday, transferring funds to her daughter’s account for medical expenses, was for a significantly lower amount than she authorized. You vaguely recall the transaction and the colleague who was assisting you at the time is currently on their lunch break. Ibu Ratna is threatening to close all her accounts if the issue isn’t resolved immediately. Which of the following actions is the MOST appropriate first step, reflecting Permata Bank’s values and compliance requirements?
Correct
In this scenario, the most effective approach aligns with Permata Bank’s values of customer focus, ethical conduct, and teamwork, while also addressing the immediate crisis. The primary goal is to resolve the customer’s issue swiftly and ethically, while safeguarding the bank’s reputation and compliance standards. Escalating the issue to a supervisor immediately (option b) might seem like a quick solution, but it bypasses the opportunity to demonstrate problem-solving skills and customer service. Directly accusing the colleague (option c) is unprofessional and could escalate the situation unnecessarily, potentially violating the bank’s code of conduct. Ignoring the customer’s concern (option d) is unacceptable and directly contradicts Permata Bank’s customer-centric approach. The best course of action involves acknowledging the customer’s frustration, investigating the discrepancy discreetly, and collaborating with the colleague to find a resolution. This demonstrates adaptability, teamwork, and a commitment to ethical conduct, aligning with Permata Bank’s values. The investigation must be done without disrupting the customer’s immediate experience and with respect for all parties involved. This approach allows for a fair and thorough assessment of the situation, ensuring that any necessary corrective actions are taken while maintaining a positive customer relationship.

Question 23 of 28
23. Question
A middle manager at Permata Bank is leading a project to implement a new digital banking platform. During a team meeting, several team members express serious concerns about the platform’s security features and its potential impact on customer data privacy, especially considering the latest regulations from OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan). Simultaneously, senior management is pushing for the project to be completed ahead of schedule to gain a competitive advantage. The manager also suspects some features might not fully comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Which of the following actions would best demonstrate adaptability, leadership potential, and ethical decision-making in this scenario?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving banking landscape, Permata Bank’s success hinges on its ability to adapt and innovate while maintaining customer trust and regulatory compliance. A middle manager’s role is critical in translating strategic directives into actionable plans, fostering teamwork, and navigating complex challenges. This requires a blend of adaptability, leadership, and ethical decision-making.
The most effective response involves proactively addressing the situation by first acknowledging the team’s concerns and then collaboratively exploring solutions. This demonstrates adaptability by recognizing the need to adjust plans, leadership by involving the team in decision-making, and ethical decision-making by prioritizing customer interests and regulatory compliance.
Simply pushing forward with the original plan without addressing concerns risks alienating the team and potentially overlooking critical issues. Immediately abandoning the plan without proper assessment could lead to missed opportunities and inefficiencies. A reactive approach of only addressing problems as they arise is less effective than a proactive approach that anticipates and mitigates potential issues. Ignoring compliance issues, even temporarily, is unacceptable and could have severe consequences. A leader must balance the need for agility with the imperative of ethical and compliant operations.

Question 25 of 28
25. Question
A new core banking system, mandated by Permata Bank’s head office to enhance data security and comply with updated regulatory requirements from OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan), has been implemented in your branch. The system is significantly slower and less user-friendly than the previous one, leading to increased transaction times and frustration among your team of customer service representatives. Several team members have started using undocumented workarounds to expedite transactions, potentially compromising data integrity. As the branch manager, what is the MOST appropriate course of action?
Correct
The scenario involves a complex situation requiring adaptability, leadership, and ethical decision-making. The best course of action is to first acknowledge the team’s frustration and validate their concerns about the new system’s inefficiencies. It’s crucial to emphasize the long-term strategic benefits of the system, such as enhanced data security and regulatory compliance (relevant to Permata Bank’s operations), while acknowledging the current challenges. Secondly, actively involve the team in identifying and implementing solutions to mitigate the system’s shortcomings. This could involve forming a task force to document issues, propose workarounds, and provide feedback to the IT department. This demonstrates leadership by empowering the team and fostering a sense of ownership. Thirdly, escalate the critical issues to the IT department and senior management, advocating for timely resolutions and necessary system improvements. This shows initiative and a commitment to problem-solving. Finally, continue to provide regular updates to the team on the progress of the system improvements and acknowledge their contributions. This maintains transparency and reinforces the value of their feedback. This approach balances the need for compliance with the need to maintain team morale and productivity. Ignoring the team’s concerns or blindly accepting the system’s inefficiencies would be detrimental to team morale and productivity, and could potentially lead to compliance issues if workarounds are not properly documented and approved. Implementing workarounds without proper documentation could create compliance risks for Permata Bank.

Question 26 of 28
26. Question
A high-net-worth client, Ibu Ratna, informs her Permata Bank Relationship Manager, Budi, that due to unexpected political instability announcements, she wants to drastically shift her investment portfolio from a diversified strategy to almost entirely liquid assets within 24 hours. Budi had previously spent weeks developing a long-term investment plan with Ibu Ratna. Which of the following actions demonstrates the BEST combination of adaptability, client focus, and adherence to Permata Bank’s compliance standards?
Correct
In a fast-paced banking environment like Permata Bank, adaptability is crucial. A Relationship Manager’s role involves understanding client needs, managing expectations, and resolving issues. When faced with a sudden shift in a client’s investment strategy due to unforeseen market volatility, the ideal response demonstrates adaptability, client focus, and proactive communication. The best approach is to acknowledge the client’s concerns, thoroughly analyze the revised investment strategy in light of the new market conditions, and present alternative solutions that align with the client’s risk profile and financial goals. This requires the Relationship Manager to be flexible in their approach, proactively communicate the changes, and offer tailored solutions. It’s important to avoid rigid adherence to the original plan without considering the changed circumstances or dismissing the client’s concerns, as this would demonstrate a lack of adaptability and client focus. Simply documenting the changes without providing guidance or pushing for the original strategy despite the client’s reservations are also not optimal, as they fail to address the client’s needs and concerns effectively. The key is to demonstrate a proactive and flexible approach that prioritizes the client’s best interests while navigating the changing market landscape. This scenario highlights the importance of adaptability and client-centricity in a Relationship Manager’s role at Permata Bank.

Question 27 of 28
27. Question
A new fintech startup launches a product that directly competes with Permata Bank’s flagship credit card, offering significantly lower interest rates and a more user-friendly mobile app. Initial projections for the credit card division at Permata Bank were highly optimistic. However, after three months, it becomes clear that new customer acquisition is significantly below target, and existing customers are increasingly switching to the competitor. The division head, Raditya, initially insists on sticking to the original marketing plan, believing the fintech company’s success is a short-term trend. Which course of action demonstrates the *LEAST* desirable behavioral competency in this scenario?
Correct
In a rapidly evolving banking landscape, particularly within Permata Bank, adaptability is paramount. A rigid adherence to initial plans, even when faced with significant changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements, or technological advancements, can lead to missed opportunities, increased risks, and ultimately, a failure to meet customer needs effectively. The optimal approach involves a continuous assessment of the current situation, a willingness to adjust strategies based on new information, and the ability to communicate these changes clearly to the team. This requires a leader who not only understands the initial goals but also possesses the foresight to recognize when a pivot is necessary and the communication skills to ensure that the team remains aligned and motivated throughout the transition. Ignoring shifting landscapes demonstrates a lack of strategic agility, which is crucial for Permata Bank’s success in a competitive market. Failing to adjust course could result in the bank falling behind competitors, experiencing financial losses, or facing compliance issues.

Question 28 of 28
28. Question
A Permata Bank client, Bapak Anton, is traveling overseas when his debit card is blocked due to suspected fraudulent activity. He urgently needs access to funds. He calls the customer service hotline, frustrated and anxious. Which of the following responses best demonstrates customer focus, problem-solving, and a proactive approach to resolving the client’s issue, aligning with Permata Bank’s values?
Correct
The best approach is to understand the client’s immediate need (accessing funds), acknowledge the inconvenience caused by the card issue, and proactively offer solutions that minimize disruption and demonstrate a commitment to service excellence. This aligns with Permata Bank’s client-centric values. Focusing solely on the card replacement timeline ignores the client’s immediate need. Offering only a generic apology, while polite, doesn’t address the client’s problem. Suggesting they wait for the card without providing alternatives is unhelpful and could damage the relationship.

The best approach is to understand the client’s immediate need (accessing funds), acknowledge the inconvenience caused by the card issue, and proactively offer solutions that minimize disruption and demonstrate a commitment to service excellence. This aligns with Permata Bank’s client-centric values. Focusing solely on the card replacement timeline ignores the client’s immediate need. Offering only a generic apology, while polite, doesn’t address the client’s problem. Suggesting they wait for the card without providing alternatives is unhelpful and could damage the relationship. Addressing the immediate need and offering convenient alternatives shows empathy and a commitment to client satisfaction.
