CCRIS stands for Central Credit Reference Information System. It is a system created by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) which synthesizes credit information about a borrower or potential borrowers into standardized credit reports. The information is available to financial institutions (Banks) and the individuals (or company directors) themselves upon request.
Individual banks’ systems are typically already tightly integrated to the CCRIS system and automatically extract an individual’s/entity’s credit report during the credit approval process.
Every participating financial institution (Includes all licensed commercial banks, Islamic banks, investment banks, development banks, some of insurance companies, payment instrument issuers and rehabilitation institutions) is required to submit their customer’s credit conduct to this centralised system.
