Futu Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“Moomoo MY”) is among the first global digital brokerage firms granted the Capital Market Services License by the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”).

The event was attended by Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia; Robin Xu, Senior Partner, Senior Vice President and Head of Southeast Asia and Oceania of Futu Holdings Limited; Ivan Mok, CEO of Moomoo Malaysia; and Dennis Jee, COO of Moomoo Malaysia, among other senior executives.
“Moomoo’s entry into Malaysia underscores our dedication to empowering various financial markets through technology. Guided by our mission of ‘Making investing easier, not alone,’ we strive to promote information equality, accessibility, and value creation within Malaysia’s dynamic economy. Through technology, we aim to promote information equality, making investment and wealth management more accessible, and creating value for local investors and capital markets. Malaysia’s dynamic economy, coupled with recent policy support, has seen rapid development in its capital markets. With Moomoo’s participation, we hope to inject even more dynamism into the market. As an investment platform connecting 21 million retail investors globally, we envision collaborating with exchanges, regulatory bodies, and partners in the visible future to become the gateway, connecting Malaysia’s investment products to global capital and investors.” said Robin Xu, Senior Partner and Senior Vice President of Southeast Asia and Oceania at Futu Holdings Limited.
“Malaysia with a relatively young population has seen a growing interest in self-directed investing. The country’s commitment to technological development and innovation led us to choose it as the second destination for expanding our presence in the Southeast Asia after Singapore. With Malaysia’s flourishing fintech landscape and supportive regulatory framework, there exists a clear demand for innovative investment solutions. We are confident that we can replicate the success we have seen in Singapore here and work hand in hand with investors and market participants to further enhance Malaysia’s capital markets and financial infrastructure competitiveness on both the regional and international stage.” Xu added.
