金融监管局回信 :
Message Classification: Restricted Dear Sir/Mdm, Thank you for your feedback of 8 June 2017 regarding Finnciti. We wish to highlight that FinnCiti is not licensed or authorised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to provide financial services in Singapore. We will, however, review the information which you have provided for any potential breaches of our laws. We will take appropriate regulatory actions where there is evidence of a breach of our laws. You may also wish to note that FinnCiti is listed on the MAS Investor Alert List (IAL), available at http://www.mas.gov.sg/ial.aspx. The IAL contains a non-exhaustive list of unregulated entities who, based on information received by MAS, may have been wrongly perceived as being licensed or authorised by MAS. While being on the IAL does not imply that there is wrongdoing on the part of the entity, the IAL is intended to alert consumers that these listed entities are not regulated by MAS. Regardless of whether an entity is regulated by MAS, it is an offence to run a fraudulent or deceptive business in Singapore. If you have reason to suspect that there may be criminal wrongdoing or fraud, you may wish to lodge a police report via https://app.police.gov.sg/Feedback/SPFfeedback.aspx. As Singapore’s financial sector regulator, MAS strongly encourages consumers seeking investments and financial services to deal only with persons regulated by MAS. MAS aims to safeguard the interests of investors by ensuring that only professional persons are allowed to provide financial services. The laws administered by MAS also require disclosure of information on investment products being recommended to consumers. These safeguards are not available to consumers who deal with unregulated entities or schemes. To empower consumers to conduct checks on entities they intend to deal with and critically assess investment opportunities, MAS has provided a number of resources on our website and through MoneySENSE, the national financial education programme. The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has also published an online information guide which provides a checklist of what consumers should watch out for when considering whether to make significant financial decisions with some business entities*, and how consumers can use ACRA’s information services to conduct background checks on them. These resources, which we encourage you to share with your friends and family who may be considering investments in Singapore, are available at the following web links: · MAS’ Financial Institutions Directory (https://masnetsvc.mas.gov.sg/FID.html), which contains a list of financial institutions licensed or regulated by MAS, and the regulated activities they are authorised to provide.· Offers and Prospectuses Electronic Repository and Access (OPERA) portal (https://opera.mas.gov.sg/ExtPortal/), which contains an exhaustive list of offers of securities for which prospectuses have been registered with MAS. · MoneySENSE Consumer Alerts, including: § Pitfalls of dealing with unregulated persons http://www.moneysense.gov.sg/Understanding-Financial-Products/Investments/Consumer-Alerts/Dealing-with-Unregulated-Persons.aspx § Avoid falling prey to “get-rich-quick” schemes http://www.moneysense.gov.sg/Understanding-Financial-Products/Investments/Consumer-Alerts/If-it-is-too-good-to-be-true.aspx § Common unregulated schemes http://www.moneysense.gov.sg/Understanding-Financial-Products/Investments/Consumer-Alerts.aspx Please note that an entity being registered with ACRA does not mean that it is regulated by MAS. Please check the MAS Financial Institutions Directory to ascertain if an entity is regulated by MAS. We hope that you find the above information useful.
