To safeguard yourself from such misuse, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the methods available for verifying whether your KTP is being utilized for online loans or not.

A highly convenient approach to confirm this is by making use of the OJK’s SLIK service. Through this service, you have the option to solicit details about any loans or credits linked to your identity. Consequently, you can thoroughly examine each loan request that utilizes your KTP information.

In addition, the process of checking the OJK’s SLIK has now been simplified and can be done online through the official website idebku.ojk.go.id. With this convenience, you no longer need to spend hours waiting in queues at the OJK office.

However, before you initiate the checking process, there are several supporting documents that you need to prepare in advance, such as your ID card (KTP), a self-portrait photo, and a photo of yourself with your ID card.
