Rules for firms and products
Sections ↑The defining point in Labuan money broking is the intermediary role. Labuan FSA describes the business as arranging transactions between buyers and sellers for brokerage or commission, excluding buying or selling foreign currency as principal. A profile should therefore identify the execution counterparty rather than calling every money broker a market maker.[3]
Operating scope in the authority’s guidance
| Topic | Published position and meaning |
|---|---|
| Currency | The published money-broking page restricts business to foreign currency, with ringgit permitted for administrative and statutory expenses.Source 3 |
| Customer eligibility | The page describes restrictions on dealing with residents other than authorised dealers. A website’s global sign-up form does not override those restrictions.Source 3 |
| Business category | Money broking, fund management and securities activities have separate permission categories. Confirm all material services rather than inferring them from a single licence.Source 2 |
Client assets and protection boundaries
Sections ↑Complaints and dispute resolution
Sections ↑For an account dispute, retain the money broker’s agreement, the execution counterparty details, payment evidence and the provider’s complaint response. Labuan FSA’s site supplies an enquiry/complaint contact route; the complaint should identify the Labuan licensee and distinguish the intermediary’s conduct from the actions of a different execution firm. Supervisory sanctions under the authority’s legislation are not equivalent to a customer damages award.[3][5]
Reporting misconduct and enforcement
Sections ↑Labuan FSA publishes named enforcement actions, including suspension of money-broking licences. Check those decisions alongside the institution directory and surrendered/revoked lists. A historical licence certificate can remain online after the current permission has changed.[4]
Compensation and firm failure
Sections ↑The sources checked for this reference do not establish a general per-client investor-compensation entitlement for a Labuan money-broking account. A licence, capital requirement or enforcement power should not be converted into an insurance figure. Any contractual indemnity or overseas-counterparty protection requires its own terms and entity match.[5]
