OJK to exclude small loans from credit score database to ease homebuying

The OJK emphasized that the information displayed in the SLIK system does not automatically determine whether a loan or financing application will be approved or rejected, noting that it only serves as a consideration in the credit analysis process.

T

he Financial Services Authority (OJK) has introduced several financial support measures to accelerate the implementation of President Prabowo Subianto’s flagship 3 million homes program. 

Newly appointed OJK head Friderica Widyasari Dewi revealed that one of the key changes is that only debtor data with above Rp 1 million (US$58.18) of outstanding loans will be displayed in the OJK’s Financial Information Service System (SLIK). The system typically serves as a reference for financial institutions in approving or rejecting new loan applications.

The OJK emphasized that the information displayed in the SLIK system does not automatically determine whether a loan or financing application will be approved or rejected, noting that it only serves as a consideration in the credit analysis process.

The agency will also expedite updates on loan repayment data in the SLIK system within three working days after the loan is resolved, hoping that the move will streamline the housing finance process. 

“This will be implemented by the end of June at the latest. This is important to help our developers speed up the housing finance process,” Friderica said in a press release on Monday. 

Furthermore, OJK has granted SLIK data access to the Public Housing Savings Management Agency (BP Tapera), which is tasked with disbursing the housing finance facilities.
