Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has included the foreign exchange (forex) trading platform OctaFX to its list of Financial Consumer Alerts. The central bank has so stated that the platform is not permitted nor allowed under BNM rules.
BNM said in its statement that OctaFX's website and official social media profiles have all been put to the Financial Consumer Alert list. These include the platform's accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
BNM also said that the Financial Consumer Alert list serves as a reference for investors, informing them of businesses and schemes that “may have been incorrectly perceived or represented as licensed or regulated by BNM.” Furthermore, the list is updated depending on information supplied by members of the public, with evaluations made on the reported businesses and schemes as needed.
Aside from BNM, OctaFX was previously listed to the Securities Commission Malaysia's (SC) Investor Alert List. It was listed on the grounds that the platform had engaged in capital market operations such as trading in derivatives without a license and running a recognized market without SC authorisation.
Meanwhile, OctaFX is a worldwide forex broker with a presence in over 100 countries. It has steadily gained attention and momentum among investors in Malaysia as a result of its massive advertising efforts, with celebrities such as Fizo Omar and Wak Doyok appearing as “ambassadors.” At the time of writing, OctaFX's website and social media profiles were still operational (such as Facebook).
