ACC Teaches Pekanbaru Communities the Smart Way to Manage Financing

As economic momentum in Pekanbaru drives demand for vehicle and multipurpose financing, Astra Credit Companies (ACC) believes access to financing must go hand in hand with a solid understanding of finances.

For ACC, providing financing across the Riau region goes beyond a business function. It expresses the company's responsibility to build a pillar of literacy, helping people become wise consumers who can manage every credit commitment with confidence.

ACC built this pillar of literacy through the ACC Pekanbaru Media Gathering titled "Getting to Know Financing Companies Better," held at KOI-KOI Resto, Pekanbaru, on April 7, 2026.

At the event, ACC teamed up with Pekanbaru journalists to educate the public on smart ways to manage financing. Topics included choosing a trustworthy financing company and handling installment payment challenges to minimize potential legal risks.

The next session was led by William Andriady, Regional Retail Operations Business Head at ACC Sumbagut, who presented the company profile and the product diversification designed to make financing more accessible to the people of Pekanbaru.

Through these educational efforts, ACC hopes the people of Pekanbaru and Riau will gain a deeper understanding of managing finances wisely. As the region's economic momentum grows, access to financing can be used in a healthy and responsible way.
