You can verify the business type or license a company holds by checking Bank Negara Malaysia’s official directories. These directories list institutions regulated by BNM and provide details on their approved business activities.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Visit Bank Negara Malaysia’s official page on frequently accessed regulatory information.


2. Use the available directories to search for the company under the appropriate category, such as:
   • Licensed Banks
   • Insurance and Takaful Operators
   • Money Services Businesses (MSBs) – including remittance, money changing, and currency wholesale
   • e-Money Issuers
   • Financial Advisers / Islamic Financial Advisers


3. Check the Financial Consumer Alert List to confirm whether the entity is unlicensed or not authorised to operate.

By using these official sources, you can ensure that the company is properly licensed and operating under Bank Negara Malaysia’s regulatory framework.
