Founded in 2004 with the initiative of Bank Negara Malaysia, the Malaysia Financial Planning Council (MFPC) is dedicated to advancing the financial planning profession both nationally and internationally. With strong support from the Malaysian government, financial companies, and practitioners.

Registered Financial Planner (RFP)
The Registered Financial Planner (RFP) programme was launched by the former Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz in November 2002. The RFP designation was approved by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in March 2005 as the prerequisite qualification to apply for the Financial Adviser’s Licence and Financial Adviser’s Representative Licence. The Registered Financial Planner (RFP) designation was also approved by Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) in November 2005 as one of the qualifications to apply for the Investment Advisers’ Licence under the Securities Industry Act 1983.The RFP designation has also been approved by the SC for the application of the Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL) with the implementation of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007
The RFP serves as a mechanism for the MFPC to help fulfil the national objectives of making Malaysia a Centre of Educational Excellence. The RFP signifies the twin pillars of professionalism in financial planning – Professional Education and Practice Excellence. Most importantly, the concept of the RFP is defined by Malaysians. As of September 2012, RFP designees are licensed Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) distributors/consultants. The Federation of Investment Managers Malaysia (FIMM) which regulates PRS consultants grants RFP designees automatic recognition as PRS consultants.
