The National Bank of Hungary (MNB) today said it barred two companies, both called 5Gulden Corporation, from any activity requiring a permit from or registration with the central bank, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.
The central bank and financial market watchdog also launched a procedure against the companies, registered in Belize and the Seychelles.
The companies appear to have ties to New Zealand-based 3TG FX Financial, which has also come under scrutiny for operating in Hungary without a license, the MNB said.
