The AMBD Alert List is a list of individuals, companies and websites which are neither authorised nor approved under the relevant laws and regulations administered by AMBD or whose activities raise a suspicion of illegal financial activity.

This list is without prejudice to any further assessment by the central bank regarding the activities of the companies concerned.

Furthermore, AMBD would like to remind the public to not deal with any entities or individuals carrying out or offering financial services, such as money changer, money remittance and money lender without a license or any activities that raise suspicion of illegal financial activity that may breach the relevant laws under AMBD.
