This study aims to examine the influence of credit risk and capital adequacy of a rural bank on financial distress, proxied by interest coverage ratio (ICR). Samples used in this research are 123 rural banks located in the Jakarta metropolitan area from 2013 to 2018. In this area, almost 70% of cash flow circulation in Indonesia was happening. The logistic regression model was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings show that both credit risk and capital adequacy had significant influences on financial distress, with positive and negative effects, respectively. Realizing the important role of credit risk and capital adequacy, this study makes some suggestions that rural banks should utilize both variables as a measure to monitor their financial performance.
