No Longer BI Checking: How to Check Your Credit Report Online

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesian citizens can now independently check their loan status, payment history, and creditworthiness through an official online service.

Some may be familiar with Bank Indonesia’s BI Checking service. However, this has officially been replaced by the SLIK (Financial Information Services System) managed entirely by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) since 2018.

Access to this service is freely available to all citizens via the official iDebku portal at idebku.ojk.go.id. The platform is directly connected to OJK’s central and regional offices, ensuring the data provided is accurate, centralised, and legally valid.

Through this service, Indonesian citizens can view all debts registered under their name, including those from commercial banks, financing companies, and fintech lending platforms.

What information is included in SLIK reports?

The report includes a detailed breakdown of all credit facilities previously or currently held, such as:

  • Working capital loans

  • Motor vehicle loans

  • Housing loans (KPR) or apartment loans

  • Investment loans

  • Unsecured loans (KTA)

  • Credit cards

  • Secured loans (backed by gold, deposits, or other assets)

  • Payment history and status (current, delinquent, doubtful, or default)

This information is crucial for banks and financial institutions when processing new loan applications, credit card requests, insurance claims, or business financing.

Full guide to checking SLIK and iDebku online

Follow these step-by-step instructions for registration and checking, explained for ease of use:

Stage 1: Account Registration and Application Submission

  • Open a browser on your phone or computer and navigate to the official website at https://idebku.ojk.go.id

  • On the homepage, select the ‘Register’ button

  • Go to the ‘Service Availability Check’ menu

  • Enter initial details:

    • Debtor type (Individual or Business)

    • Nationality (Indonesian or Foreign)

    • ID type (ID card or Passport)

    • ID number as per document

    • Enter the Captcha security code and click ‘Next’. If a ‘quota full’ notification appears, the daily limit has been reached. Try again during off-peak hours, such as early morning before work or late at night, as the system resets daily.

    • Proceed to enter full personal details: full name as per ID, gender, place and date of birth, complete address, province, regency/city, active email address, and contact phone number

    • Select the purpose of the request (e.g., personal use, credit application, or data verification) and enter your mother’s maiden name

    • Click ‘Next’ to proceed to document upload stage

    • Upload required document photos, ensuring each file is under 4MB and clearly legible:

      • Photo of your ID document (ID card or Passport)

      • Selfie holding the ID document

      • Selfie following the on-screen example guidelines

    • Ensure all text on the document is clearly visible, as blurry images will result in rejection.

    • After all documents are uploaded, click ‘Next’

    • Click ‘Submit Application’. Ensure the entered email address is correct, as the SLIK report will be sent directly to this email.

    • You can edit details if incorrect by pressing ‘Back’. Once verified, tick the data accuracy statement and OJK terms and conditions agreement.

    • Finally, click ‘Submit Application’

Upon successful submission, a ‘Registration Successful’ notification will appear. Make sure to copy or note down the registration number, as it is required to check the application status.

Stage 2: Checking Application Status

  • Return to the idebku.ojk.go.id homepage

  • Press the ‘Service Status’ button

  • Enter the registration number you saved earlier

  • The system will display your application’s progress. According to OJK regulations, the report will be emailed within one working day after registration is received and verified.
