Earlier today I gave a short 60 mins online webinar on the various fintech laws and regulations in Malaysia that aspiring fintech entrepreneurs should know.
In the online webinar, I provided a high-level summary:
- on the different roles and duties that regulators namely the Securities Commission of Malaysia, Central Bank of Malaysia and Labuan Financial Services Authority play in promoting and continually adjusting to the emergence of new FinTech solutions
- on the different laws and guidelines affecting FinTech startups, including legal, regulatory, and policy issues associated with cryptocurrencies, crowdfunding, initial coin offerings, online lending, new payments system, and wealth management technologies and insurance aggregators
- overview and familiarity with the legal and regulatory aspects of the FinTech startups in various sectors and how to address them
- to help you identify the relevant regulator you need to go to if you wish to seek the necessary approval if you are a regulated FinTech startup.
You can watch the recorded webinar on Izwan & Partners‘ Facebook page (click here)
