Beware! How to Know if Someone else’s KTP is being used by Pinjol

How to Check Whether Your KTP is Used for Online Loans

Applying for an online loan (pinjol) requires several requirements, one of which is a Population Identification Number (NIK). NIK is an important identity for every Indonesian citizen. However, with the development of online crime, NIK can be misused by other people for personal interests such as applying for loans. Here’s how to check whether someone else is using your KTP to borrow money.

The NIK on the Resident Identity Card (KTP) is used for various purposes, such as applying for letters, permits, etc. Unfortunately, there are a number of illegal loan providers who do not check the documents carefully. This causes the use of NIK to be unsupervised, making it vulnerable to misuse of personal data by irresponsible people.

To find out whether your KTP is safe from interference from other people, you can check it via the OJK SLIK. By checking this, you can find out whether your KTP is safe or has been misused to borrow money.
