1st of all...sorry for being skeptical
1. approved as Shariah compliant doesn't mean anything in protecting our hard earn money
2. anybody can being featured in the media as long as we pay them
I think we need some sort of solid guarantee that our investment is safe with you
No apologies needed. I completely understand. It would be much easier to just say that we are under the purview of a particular regulatory body, but unfortunately precious metal is not regulated in Malaysia. The reason for me pointing out those articles is actually to draw attention to the companies mentioned within those articles; namely Aeon Credit and Axiata. Being companies who hold strong reputations for themselves in their respective industries, one would of course consider the fact that they would have done their due diligence when partnering/ venturing into business with another entity. The last thing such companies would want to do is to jeopardize the entire company just for 1 partnership.
Secondly, Datuk Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, who is the Chairman of the Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia (SAC), is the leader of Armanie Advisors. I am also confident that the esteemed Datuk would not risk his position by way of not conducting thorough checks into HelloGold before issuing the Fatwa to us.
Talking about HelloGold abroad, The FinLab, Singapore’s first corporate fintech accelerator, selected 8 innovative fintech businesses for its second cycle of acceleration and HelloGold was one of them. The FinLab is a joint venture between United Overseas Bank Ltd (“UOB”) and SGInnovate (“SGI”). Last year,
HelloGold won the Critics’ Choice Most Innovative Islamic Retail Product Award organised by the UK-based financial intelligence house, Cambridge IF Analytica.
Trying to be as compliant to Malaysian regulations, we keep everything as transparent as possible, following KYC procedures and ensuring that customer's data is secure.
At this point in time, this is all I can offer to anyone who has doubts about us. Of course, there's tonnes of information online that everyone can access to but these I believe are some of the stronger ones around.
