Trading forex (currencies) in Malaysia is popular among residents. Before any fx broker in Malysia can accept forex and CFD traders as clients, they must hold a Capital Markets Services License (CMSL) from the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SCM), which is the financial regulatory body in Malaysia.

Established in 1993, SCM is Malaysia’s financial markets regulatory body. In April 2018, SCM issued guidelines for Contracts for Difference (CFD) providers including brokers offering derivatives, under the Capital Markets Services Act of 2007, which will become effective July 1st 2018. As a result, we expect more regional brokers will register with SCM in order to acquire a CMSL.
