The Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) has updated its ‘Alert List’ of companies and individuals who may be wrongly perceived as being licensed, authorised or regulated by the central bank.
The central bank, in a statement yesterday, added 10 names to the list: Agent Alisya (Mariyah Alisya Maisarah); Ahmin Brunei XM trader; Azmi Johari Brunei XM Trader; GatewayMegaLending LLC; Grand CapitalFX; Izzul Hsb Trader Bn; Orbi_global_limited/Orbi_glo; Public_loan_brunei; Syarikat Azrah (FB Profile) and an unnamed listing with contact number 8807904.
The BDCB Alert List can be found on its website.
The central bank said the list is based on information available to BDCB at the time of publication, and is without prejudice to any further assessment by BDCB regarding the activities of the individuals or companies concerned.
The central bank also cautioned the public to only deal with financial institutions licensed by BDCB, as they will not have protection under the central bank’s regulatory framework if they deal with unlicensed companies or individuals.
