The Central Bank of Sri Lanka has flagged Crosslink for engaging in deposit-taking activities without proper authorization, warning the public to exercise caution when dealing with the entity.
The notice comes as part of the central bank's regulatory oversight responsibilities to safeguard financial system integrity and consumer protection. Unauthorized deposit-taking represents a significant breach of banking regulations and poses potential risks to depositors who may lose their funds without legal recourse or deposit insurance protections.
The central bank has reiterated that only licensed financial institutions are permitted to accept deposits from the public. Citizens are advised to verify the regulatory status of any financial service provider before engaging in transactions, particularly those involving savings or investments.
The alert underscores ongoing concerns about informal and unlicensed operators in Sri Lanka's financial sector. The monetary authority continues to monitor suspicious financial activities and regularly updates the public on entities operating outside the regulatory framework to prevent financial fraud and protect consumer interests.
