OJK orders checks and freezes on 38,796 suspected gambling accounts
Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority, OJK, instructed commercial banks to strengthen checks and freeze around 38,796 accounts suspected of links to illegal online gambling, the regulator said. Banks must cross-check account holders’ identity numbers and close linked accounts where reviews identify connections. The account list rose from 38,379 in earlier reporting periods.
Banks must extend due diligence and account reviews to suspected gambling-linked customers and associated accounts.
