Mandiri

Mandiri is an Indonesian adjective meaning independent or self-reliant. In Indonesian branding and naming, the term is often used to convey autonomy and resilience across organizations and programs.

The most prominent use of the term is Bank Mandiri, the largest financial services group in Indonesia by assets. PT Bank Mandiri Tbk was established on 2 October 1999 as part of a government-led consolidation of several state-owned banks during the Asian financial crisis. The merger aimed to create a stronger, more competitive bank. Bank Mandiri operates a nationwide network of branches and ATMs and offers retail and corporate banking, treasury, payments, and digital banking services. It serves individuals, small businesses, and large corporations and maintains international correspondent banking relationships. Bank Mandiri is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Beyond the bank, mandiri is commonly used in other Indonesian names and programs to emphasize independence or self-reliance, including educational, social, and corporate initiatives. The exact entities vary over time, but the branding generally signals reliability and self-sufficiency.
