The Securities Commission (SC) has warned the public against investing or dealing in any way with Hap2py, as they are unauthorised to operate in Malaysia.<\/span><\/p>\n Hap2py is a peer-to-peer financing platform, which means that they provide services such as loans, fixed deposits, and investment products.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the statement released by SC yesterday, SC has already taken numerous steps to block Hap2py from preying on unsuspecting victims, such as placing them on <\/span>SC\u2019s Investor Alert List<\/span><\/a>, <\/b>blocking Hap2py\u2019s multiple websites, and issuing cease and desist letters.<\/span><\/p>\n However, SC stated that Hap2py continues to entice Malaysian investors in multiple ways, such as using variations of their websites, and social media advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n This has led to a number of queries and complaints from the public regarding this entity.<\/span><\/p>\n In the statement, SC also reiterated that Hap2py is not an authorised Recognised Market Operator (RMO). It is currently operating a P2P platform without first obtaining the SC\u2019s authorisation as an RMO, which is an offence under the Capital Market Services Act 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n As such, SC will not hesitate to take further action if Hap2py continues to flout their non-compliance of the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n From their website, some of the services provided by Hap2py includes a fixed deposit investing account, and a savings investing account. It is also offering attractive high return rates.<\/p>\nHap2Py not an authorised Recognised Market Operator in Malaysia<\/h2>\n
