Indonesia orders banks to block 31,382 gambling-linked accounts
Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) ordered banks to block 31,382 accounts suspected of supporting illegal online gambling. OJK banking supervisor Dian Ediana Rae said banks must investigate those accounts, close other accounts linked to the same national identification numbers and strengthen due diligence.
The orders require Indonesian banks to expand account investigations and controls against financial links to illegal gambling.
