The Central Bank of Brunei Darussalam updated its Alert List of companies and individuals that are not licensed, authorised or regulated by the central bank, adding Loan Adakami BDCB. The Alert List is intended to help the public avoid being misled into believing that listed persons are regulated by the Central Bank of Brunei Darussalam, and is issued without prejudice to any further assessment of the activities of those concerned. The central bank also reminded the public to deal only with financial institutions licensed by it, noting that services including money remittance, money changing, money lending and pawn broking must be licensed, and that customers dealing with unlicensed or unregulated persons will not have protection under its regulatory framework.
