Fact-checked

I’ve been looking into Webull, and I’ve noticed that many people in Malaysia are not aware of its regulatory history and the regulatory issues involving Webull and related entities in different countries.

The business is growing. In its second-quarter 2026 results, released on 19 August 2026, Webull Corporation reported revenue of US$198.8 million, up 51% year-on-year, and net income of US$24.4 million, against a net loss of US$28.3 million in the same quarter a year earlier.

The company also says it is investing in AI-powered research tools, expanding internationally and building institutional services. Those are the company’s own statements about what it is doing, recorded here as plans rather than as results, and SmartChecker makes no forecast of how they will turn out.

The regulatory record in the United States is the other half of the picture, and it concerns Webull Financial LLC — the US broker-dealer, not the Malaysian licensee.

In March 2023, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fined Webull Financial LLC US$3 million. FINRA found that the firm had not exercised reasonable due diligence before approving customers for options trading, that its system for handling customer complaints was not reasonably designed, and that it had failed to report certain written customer complaints to FINRA. Options trading can produce substantial losses, which is why a broker is expected to assess who is approved for it.

In November 2024, the US Securities and Exchange Commission censured Webull Financial LLC over suspicious activity reports that omitted required information, filed over a four-year period beginning in 2018. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to a cease-and-desist order, a US$125,000 civil penalty and a compliance review of its anti-money-laundering programme.

In May 2025, FINRA censured Webull Financial LLC and fined it US$1.6 million. The findings included a failure to supervise or retain promotional communications by more than 400 paid influencers between January 2019 and December 2022, some of which FINRA described as unbalanced or promissory, and a failure to deliver Form CRS to about 5.9 million retail customers between June 2020 and December 2022.

The action that bears most directly on Malaysian customers is the Securities Commission Malaysia’s. On 18 May 2026 the SC recorded two breaches by Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd: a failure to ensure compliance with the requirements governing withdrawals from clients’ trust accounts, and a failure to maintain appropriate and effective controls for identifying and accounting for clients’ assets. The SC issued a reprimand for each breach and imposed a total penalty of RM950,000.

That one is about the entity Malaysians actually open an account with, rather than a US subsidiary penalised over a US-specific issue. Webull’s Malaysian website identifies Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd as the holder of a Capital Markets Services Licence regulated by the SC, and states that it and the wider Webull platform business are separate legal entities under common ownership.

A licence matters, but it is not proof that a broker has never had a compliance problem. The reverse is also true: a penalty does not by itself mean a licensed broker is unsafe in every respect. Both are facts on the record, and a reader deciding where to keep their money is entitled to see them next to each other.

我在研究 Webull 时发现,许多马来西亚用户并不了解 Webull 及其关联实体在不同国家的监管历史。

业务确实在增长。2026 年 8 月 19 日公布的第二季度业绩中,Webull Corporation 报告营收 US$198.8 million,同比增长 51%;净利 US$24.4 million,而一年前同期为净亏 US$28.3 million。

公司还表示正在投入 AI 研究工具、拓展海外市场并发展机构服务。这些是公司自述的计划,本页只作为计划记录,SmartChecker 不对结果做任何预测。

另一半是美国的监管记录,涉及的是美国经纪商 Webull Financial LLC,不是马来西亚的持片实体。

2023 年 3 月,FINRA 对 Webull Financial LLC 罚款 US$3 million,认定其在批准客户进行期权交易前未尽合理审查义务,客户投诉处理系统设计不当,且未按规定向 FINRA 报告部分书面投诉。

2024 年 11 月,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)就自 2018 年起四年间提交的可疑活动报告缺漏应有资料对其公开谴责。公司在不承认也不否认的前提下,同意停止违规命令、缴纳 US$125,000 民事罚款,并对反洗钱合规计划进行审查。

2025 年 5 月,FINRA 对 Webull Financial LLC 谴责并罚款 US$1.6 million,认定其未妥善监管或保存超过 400 名付费推广者在 2019 年 1 月至 2022 年 12 月间的推广内容,其中部分被指失衡或带有承诺性;另在 2020 年 6 月至 2022 年 12 月间未向约 5.9 million 名零售客户送达 Form CRS。

与马来西亚客户最直接相关的,是马来西亚证券委员会(SC)的行动。2026 年 5 月 18 日,SC 记录 Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd 两项违规:未确保遵守客户信托账户提款规定,以及未就识别和入账客户资产维持妥善有效的控制。SC 就每项违规发出谴责,并合计罚款 RM950,000。

这一项针对的正是马来西亚人开户的那一家法人,而不是因美国本地事项被罚的美国子公司。Webull 马来西亚网站表明 Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd 持有受 SC 监管的资本市场服务牌照,并表示它与更广泛的 Webull 平台业务是同一控股下的不同法人。

持牌很重要,但它不等于这家经纪商从未出过合规问题;反过来,一项处罚也不等于一家在牌的经纪商在所有方面都不安全。两者都是记录在案的事实,要把钱放在哪里的读者,有权把它们放在一起看。

Saya telah meneliti Webull, dan saya perasan ramai orang di Malaysia tidak menyedari sejarah kawal selianya dan isu kawal selia yang melibatkan Webull serta entiti berkaitan di beberapa negara.

Perniagaannya memang sedang berkembang. Dalam keputusan suku kedua 2026 yang dikeluarkan pada 19 Ogos 2026, Webull Corporation melaporkan hasil AS$198.8 juta, naik 51% berbanding setahun sebelumnya, dan keuntungan bersih AS$24.4 juta berbanding kerugian bersih AS$28.3 juta pada suku yang sama tahun sebelumnya.

Syarikat itu juga menyatakan bahawa ia sedang melabur dalam alat penyelidikan berkuasa AI, berkembang ke pasaran antarabangsa dan membina perkhidmatan institusi. Itu kenyataan syarikat itu sendiri, dicatatkan di sini sebagai rancangan dan bukan sebagai keputusan, dan SmartChecker tidak membuat sebarang ramalan tentang hasilnya.

Separuh lagi gambarannya ialah rekod kawal selia di Amerika Syarikat, dan ia melibatkan Webull Financial LLC, iaitu peniaga broker Amerika Syarikat dan bukan pemegang lesen di Malaysia.

Pada Mac 2023, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority mengenakan denda AS$3 juta ke atas Webull Financial LLC. FINRA mendapati firma itu tidak menjalankan usaha wajar yang munasabah sebelum meluluskan pelanggan untuk dagangan opsyen, sistem pengendalian aduan pelanggannya tidak direka secara munasabah, dan ia gagal melaporkan sebahagian aduan bertulis pelanggan kepada FINRA. Dagangan opsyen boleh membawa kerugian besar, dan itulah sebabnya broker dijangka menilai siapa yang diluluskan untuknya.

Pada November 2024, Suruhanjaya Sekuriti dan Bursa Amerika Syarikat mengecam Webull Financial LLC berhubung laporan aktiviti mencurigakan yang tidak lengkap, yang difailkan sepanjang tempoh empat tahun bermula 2018. Tanpa mengaku atau menafikan penemuan itu, firma tersebut bersetuju dengan perintah berhenti dan jangan ulang, penalti sivil AS$125,000 dan semakan ke atas program pencegahan pengubahan wang haramnya.

Pada Mei 2025, FINRA mengecam Webull Financial LLC dan mengenakan denda AS$1.6 juta. Penemuan itu termasuk kegagalan menyelia atau menyimpan komunikasi promosi oleh lebih 400 pengaruh berbayar antara Januari 2019 dan Disember 2022, sebahagiannya disifatkan FINRA sebagai tidak seimbang atau berbentuk janji, serta kegagalan menyampaikan Form CRS kepada kira-kira 5.9 juta pelanggan runcit antara Jun 2020 dan Disember 2022.

Tindakan yang paling berkaitan dengan pelanggan di Malaysia ialah tindakan Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia. Pada 18 Mei 2026, SC merekodkan dua pelanggaran oleh Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd: kegagalan memastikan pematuhan kepada keperluan yang mengawal pengeluaran daripada akaun amanah pelanggan, dan kegagalan mengekalkan kawalan yang sesuai dan berkesan untuk mengenal pasti serta mengakaunkan aset pelanggan. SC mengeluarkan satu teguran bagi setiap pelanggaran dan mengenakan penalti berjumlah RM950,000.

Tindakan itu menyentuh entiti yang orang Malaysia benar-benar membuka akaun dengannya, bukan sebuah anak syarikat Amerika Syarikat yang didenda atas isu khusus di sana. Laman web Webull Malaysia menyatakan bahawa Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd memegang Lesen Perkhidmatan Pasaran Modal yang dikawal selia oleh SC, dan bahawa ia serta perniagaan platform Webull yang lebih luas adalah entiti undang-undang berasingan di bawah pemilikan yang sama.

Lesen itu penting, tetapi ia bukan bukti bahawa sesebuah broker tidak pernah menghadapi masalah pematuhan. Sebaliknya juga benar: sesuatu penalti dengan sendirinya tidak bermakna broker berlesen itu tidak selamat dalam setiap aspek. Kedua-duanya fakta yang ada dalam rekod, dan pembaca yang menimbang di mana hendak menyimpan wang mereka berhak melihatnya bersebelahan.
