PETALING JAYA: CRIF Omesti Sdn Bhd has obtained a credit reporting agency (CRA) licence in Malaysia from the Finance Ministry.
CRIF Omesti is a joint investment between Italy-based CRIF and Omesti Holdings Bhd, which is a unit of Main Market-listed Omesti Bhd
.
In a statement yesterday, Omesti said the operation will allow CRIF to extend its global coverage to Malaysia as a licensed CRA to provide credit reports and business information services for financial institutions, corporations, and SMEs.
CRIF Omesti Sdn Bhd director Mah Xian-Zhen said the credit reporting/information space is an area that the company believes will hold significant potential, not just in Malaysia but across the region.
