RHB Bank said that it has officially enabled support for Apple Pay, allowing its customers to now add their Visa debit and credit cards/-i to the payment platform for another safer and more convenient payment method.

In a statement today, the bank said that the list of cards that can be added to Apple Pay will include the RHB Multi-Currency Visa debit card/-i, which offers customers the ability to transact up to 33 currencies at any time, with no currency conversion fees. This, of course, means an enhanced payment experience while travelling abroad. You can check the full list of eligible RHB cards that can be used with Apple Pay here.

Aside from that, note that your Apple Pay transactions will follow all the usual spending limits that apply to your debit and credit cards, including your daily spending limit (up to your available account balance). You will also be able to earn the same rewards points and cashback for your cards when you make Apple Pay transactions with them.

If you’re ready to add your RHB cards to Apple Pay, there are two ways to do it: via Apple Wallet itself or through the RHB Mobile Banking app. Here’s a visual guide from RHB to show you how you can do through both ways:

“We are excited to announce that we’re bringing Apple Pay to our customers so they can enjoy a a seamless and secure digital banking experience. This initiative aligns with our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers,” said the group managing director and group chief executive officer of RHB Banking Group, Mohd Rashid Mohamed, in announcing this update about Apple Pay.

In conjunction with this announcement, RHB is currently running a limited-time campaign that enables customers to earn up to RM30 cashback when they make three Apple Pay transactions with their RHB cards (with min spend of RM50 for each transaction). Applicable for both online and in-store promotions, this offer is set to run until 31 July 2024.

For context, Apple Pay was first made available in Malaysia in August 2022, with the support of three banks, namely Maybank, AmBank, and Standard Chartered. This support was eventually also expanded to include HSBC Bank.
