BI Checking Has Changed: You Can Now Check Your Own Debts Online

For those planning to apply for a Home Ownership Loan (KPR), business capital loans, or new credit cards, the essential first step is to check your financial ‘track record’.

Indonesians can now easily check their loan status, payment history, and creditworthiness independently, officially, and free of charge.

It is important to note that credit history checks no longer use Bank Indonesia’s ‘BI Checking’ service. Since 2018, this authority has been fully transferred to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) through a system known as the Financial Information Service System (SLIK).

Members of the public can access this service online through the official OJK iDebku portal at https://idebku.ojk.go.id. This platform is directly integrated with OJK’s head and regional offices across Indonesia, ensuring the legal validity and accuracy of the data.

Through this portal, all debt history under your name—whether from commercial banks, finance companies (multifinance), or fintech lending providers—will be presented transparently.

What Information is Included in SLIK OJK?

The Debtor Information Report (iDeb) issued by the OJK contains comprehensive details regarding all credit facilities you currently hold or have previously held, including:

  • Working Capital & Investment Credit

  • Motor Vehicle Credit (KKB)

  • Home Ownership Loans (KPR) or Apartments

  • Unsecured Loans (KTA) & Credit Cards

  • Secured Credit (such as gold, deposits, or other assets)

  • History & Payment Status (collectability levels divided into: Smooth, Underperforming, Doubtful, to Bad Debt)

This data serves as the primary reference (scoring) for banks and financial institutions before they approve your new credit or financing applications.
