KUALA LUMPUR: Ten credit reporting agencies in Malaysia have renewed their registration certificates for the 2026/2027 period, according to the Ministry of Finance (MoF).
In a statement, the ministry said the renewals were completed under Section 14 of the Credit Reporting Agencies Act 2010 (Act 710).
"The certificates are valid for one year, from Sept 15, 2026, to Sept 14, 2027," it said.
