Hi bro,
My name is Ross and I am the Community & Education Lead for Luno Malaysia.
I can help to explain this new regulation.
We call this the "Foreign Exchange Notice"
- This is nothing new, it's something that BNM already has implemented in our banking system
- We are just following their regulation and adding it to Luno
Who is NOT AFFECTED by this regulation?
- Basically, if you do not have any loans = Not affected at all
- Also, if you are sending crypto from Luno to other local regulated exchanges = Not affected at all
- If you only have 1 house loan = Not affected at all
- If you only have 1 car loan = Not affected at all
- If you have only 1 house & 1 car loan together = Not affected at all
Who IS AFFECTED by this regulation?
- If you have more than 1 house and car loan combined = Affected
- If you have 1 personal loan = Affected
- If you have 1 business loan = Affected
What happens if you are affected?
- Basically you will have a limit of RM 1 Million per year to send crypto from Luno to any other overseas exchange/Private wallet.
- If you hit the 1 Million per year limit you just need to apply for permission from BNM to transfer more (it can be done from the app)
- Most users still won't be affected by this because very few people transfer more than 1 Million per year unless you are a whale.
Hope this explains it a bit better
If you have any follow up questions just let me know
Happy to answer and clarify

Thanks for the tips.
