KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia has updated its financial consumer alert list with the addition of Financial.org Malaysia and Time Travel & Explorer Sdn Bhd.
Bank Negara had on its website stated these two companies were neither authorised nor approved under the relevant laws and regulations administered by the central bank.
The latest list consists of 416 companies but it said the list was not exhaustive and only serves as a guide to members of the public based on information and queries received.
However, Financial.org Malaysia’s website could not be accessed.
Bank Negara said the list will be updated regularly for public's reference. Click here for the list: http://www.bnm.gov.my/documents/2018/FCA_20180409_EN.pdf

Britain’s financial watchdog was conducting inquiries into an unregulated company that sponsors a Formula One team and has attracted investors from countries across Asia, according to a source familiar with the situation, according to the wire report.
Reuters reported that separately UK-based Financial.org has told investors it will close their accounts and take 20% percent of their money if they do not raise their minimum investment to US$10,000 from US$3,000, according to a notice posted on its website and seven investors from China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the UAE and Vietnam.
