BDCB updates Alert List » Borneo Bulletin Online

Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) informed members of the public that the BDCB Alert List has been updated.

The BDCB Alert List is a list of persons, comprising companies and individuals, that are currently not licensed, authorised, or regulated by BDCB.

The Alert List is issued for the public to exercise caution and to avoid being misled to believe that the persons listed are licensed, authorised, or regulated by BDCB, and is issued without prejudice to any further assessment by BDCB regarding the activities of the persons concerned.

BDCB stated that the entity WCEI Group/WCEI International Ltd/WCEI Investments Holding Ltd/WCEI Academy Sdn Bhd, has been included in the Alert List for any other suspicious and/or unethical activities. The complete BDCB Alert List can be found directly on the official BDCB website.

The central bank reminded the public to only deal with financial institutions licensed by BDCB, and to avoid any unlicensed companies or individuals carrying out or offering financial services.

Among the financial products and services that must be licensed by BDCB include money remittance, money changing, money lending, and pawnbroking services. Members of the public are reminded that they will not have protection under BDCB’s regulatory framework if they deal with companies or individuals that are unlicensed or unregulated.

BDCB also advised members of the public to remain vigilant against any persons or entities who claim to represent, be affiliated with, or act on behalf of BDCB, including through the unauthorised use of BDCB’s name, logo, or official identity to solicit funds, personal information, or participation in financial schemes.

Members of the public may visit the BDCB website or follow social media for more information on the dangers of unlicensed financial entities as well as on how to identify financial scams.

BDCB remains committed to the financial stability of Brunei Darussalam and to safeguarding the nation’s financial system and the interests of financial consumers, and will continue to actively monitor any suspicious or unlicensed financial activities in the country.

Members of the public with information regarding suspicious or unlicensed financial-related activities may contact BDCB at 2380007 or 8380007, email fci@bdcb.gov.bn, or reach the Anti-Scam Helpline at 16993.
