Bank Negara: regulates banks, less so retail forex.

Bank Negara Malaysia · est. 1959
Tier 2Public register

BNM is Malaysia's central bank — strong on monetary policy, weaker on retail forex specifically. Most Malaysian forex activity happens with overseas brokers under FCA / ASIC / CySEC. BNM-authorized banks offer FX dealing to corporate clients but rarely to retail.
