  • Employed for at least 3 months with their current employer
  • Earn a minimum monthly income of RM1,600

How Much Can Applicants Borrow Under Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Instalment Method Maximum Financing Amount
Salary transfer to Bank Rakyat Up to RM400,000
Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa (BPA) Up to RM400,000

The profit rate is fixed and includes Takaful coverage, based on the instalment method chosen. Applicants who opt out of Takaful pay an additional 1.04% on top of the standard profit rate.

What Fees and Charges Apply to Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public charges zero processing fees. Applicants pay Government Stamp Duty at 0.50% of the total amount borrowed, plus a Wakalah fee for the Islamic financing structure.

Is Takaful Coverage Compulsory for Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Takaful coverage is optional, but Bank Rakyat recommends signing up through its panel of Takaful providers. Takaful settles the outstanding Personal Financing-i Public balance if the borrower dies or becomes permanently disabled.

What Is the Monthly Instalment for Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Monthly instalments start the month after the funds are disbursed and used. Approved applicants receive a payment schedule together with their loan agreement.

The fixed profit rate applies to Salary Transfer, Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa, and Salary Deduction payment methods. For floating rates:



Payment Type Tenure (Months) Profit Rate (Floating)
Salary transfer to Bank Rakyat 12 - 120 SBR + 3.78% to 4.07% p.a.
Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa and Salary Deduction 12 - 120 SBR + 2.42% to 2.77% p.a.
Electronic Payment 12 - 120 SBR + 4.42% to 4.77% p.a.

Bank Rakyat's current Standardised Base Rate (SBR) is 3.00%. Financing without Takaful adds 1.50% to the floating profit rate.

Can Personal Financing-i Public Be Settled Early?

Yes, at zero cost. Borrowers also receive an ibra' (rebate) for the deferred profit that has not yet been accounted for as earned.

What Documents Are Required for Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public is unsecured, so no guarantor or collateral is needed.

First-time applicants:

  • IC or MyTentera (front and back)
  • Latest 3 months' salary slips
  • Latest 3 months' bank statements for the salary crediting account
  • Either an Employer Confirmation Letter or an EA form

Can Blacklisted Applicants Apply for Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public?

Approval depends on the applicant's credit history with other financial institutions. Outstanding credit card, personal loan, home loan, and car loan debts are recorded in CCRIS/CTOS, a system that tracks credit information rather than blacklisting borrowers.

Applicants with a poor payment history improve their approval chances by making consistent, on-time payments going forward. Bank Rakyat is more likely to approve applications from those who show they are managing their finances rather than taking on more debt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. It runs on a Wakalah (agency) contract, which is why applicants pay a Wakalah fee alongside the Government Stamp Duty.
The fixed rate stays the same for the full tenure. The floating rate moves with Bank Rakyat's Standardised Base Rate (SBR), currently 3.00%, so instalments can rise or fall if the SBR changes.
No. It's an unsecured personal financing product, so applicants don't need a guarantor or collateral to qualify.
Yes, but approval depends on the applicant's overall credit standing. Bank Rakyat reviews CCRIS/CTOS records alongside income and employment details before making a decision.
No. A clean credit record improves an applicant's chances, but Bank Rakyat also weighs income, employment tenure, and the overall application before approving Personal Financing-i Public.
Approved applicants receive a loan agreement and a payment schedule. Monthly instalments begin the month after the funds are disbursed and used.
