How borrowers in Indonesia can address a poor SLIK credit record

How borrowers in Indonesia can address a poor SLIK credit record

Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority, known as OJK, keeps credit records in a system called SLIK, previously known as BI Checking.

Banks and other lenders use these records when assessing loan applications, and online lending history can also affect a borrower’s record.

SLIK scores range from 1, the strongest, to 5, which indicates problem debt.

Borrowers with scores of 3 to 5 need to address their records before applying for credit, while scores of 1 and 2 can apply to banks without difficulty related to their score.

People can check their own records through OJK’s iDebKu website.

If a debt is still unpaid, the borrower must pay it; if a record appears to be wrong, they should contact the relevant party.

OJK says records are usually updated within 30 days of repayment, and borrowers can request a letter confirming the debt is paid.
