The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) informs the public that the FinTech Lab[1] licence of Proportunity Management Company Limited expired on July 1, 2024. However, it came to AFSA's attention that the company continues marketing its products to the public, including products of Islamic Banking and Islamic Financing.
AFSA would like to emphasise that the company was previously authorised as a crowdfunding platform and never applied for or possessed a licence to provide Islamic Banking Business or Islamic Financing.
AFSA urges the public to consult the Public Register, which lists business information for legal entities authorised and/or registered by AFSA. This is a crucial step to ensure a legal entitity is authorised before using any of its financial services or products.
