BI Checking vs SLIK OJK — What Changed
Since 1 January 2018, OJK has taken over Indonesia's credit information system from Bank Indonesia. The scope and coverage have expanded significantly.
| Aspect | BI Checking | SLIK OJK |
|---|---|---|
| Managed by | Bank Indonesia | Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) |
| Active since | Before 2018 | January 2018 – present |
| Official name | SIDS / BI Checking | SLIK OJK |
| Data covered | Bank credit only | Banks + multifinance + P2P + cooperatives |
| Self-check method | Not available (bank only) | iDebKu OJK or Skorlife |

Although the official name is now SLIK OJK, most Indonesians still call it "BI Checking" out of habit. Both terms refer to the same underlying credit record.
