The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has launched SMS short code service to disseminate information and authenticate the licensed/registered entities.
The timely and easy delivery of information to general public and stakeholders will help to mitigate the possible scams and frauds in the capital markets and provide convenience to all the stakeholders.
SECP has advised the general public to never invest in an unregistered company and avoid investment through an unlicensed entity. Before taking any decision regarding their investments, potential investors can now get confirmed status of any entity simply sending an SMS to 8181.
