Ryt Bank customers can access a credit line of up to RM1,499 without submitting income documents, or apply for a documented limit of up to RM100,000 through Ryt Credit. Rates range from 0% to 31.72% a year depending on how long you take to repay.
The RM1,499 tier requires no income documents. For a higher limit, submit your EPF statement through the Ryt Bank app, Ryt Bank says approval can take as little as five minutes. Once approved, you can accept the full limit offered or choose a lower amount, then enable Ryt Credit on your Ryt Card before using it for purchases.
The higher credit limit isn’t available yet to gig workers, self-employed customers, or civil servants and pensioners under the KWAP pension scheme. Ryt Bank hasn’t given a reason for this, although one possible explanation is that these groups may not have an EPF statement to submit for the application. Ryt Bank says affected customers will be notified when the higher-limit option becomes available to them.
Repayment periods range from one to 24 months. The 24-month option is only available to selected customers.
Customers with existing Ryt PayLater plans keep their current instalment amount, repayment date and rate. No action is needed.
| Tenure (Months) | Effective Interest Rate Before 23 Sept | Effective Interest Rate From 23 Sept |
| 1 | 0.00%* | 0.00%* |
| 3 | 26.80% | 31.72% |
| 6 | 30.23% | 31.72% |
| 9 | 31.32% | 31.72% |
| 12, 24 | 31.72% | 31.72% |
*Applies only if all purchases in the current billing cycle are paid in one instalment before the due date, four calendar days after the statement date. Table from Ryt Bank’s fees and limits page, updated August 2026.
From 23 September, every tenure moves to 31.72% a year, so a three-month plan that costs 26.80% today will cost more after that date. Plans already converted into instalments before 23 September keep their original rate.
For comparison, Bank Negara Malaysia caps credit card interest at 15% to 18% a year. Ryt Credit’s rates above the one-month tier sit above that range.
Ryt Bank’s product disclosure sheet gives a worked example: a RM1,499 balance repaid over three months, quoted as a flat rate of 8.87% a year with an effective rate of 26.80% a year, working out to a monthly instalment of RM510.74 and RM1,532.23 in total. Under standard reducing-balance calculations, that same RM33.24 in interest works out closer to a 13% to 14% effective rate, not 26.80%. If the same pattern holds at larger balances, a RM100,000 loan over 24 months, which we calculate at roughly RM36,300 in interest using the stated 31.72% rate on standard reducing-balance terms, could in practice cost closer to half that.
An unpaid balance is automatically converted into instalments, and any amount due on the repayment date that isn’t settled is deducted from your Ryt Bank Current or Savings Account.
Ryt Credit carries no late-payment charge, but Ryt Bank may suspend your credit line if payment remains outstanding one day after the repayment date. Ryt Bank’s PDS also states that missing payments may affect your credit score, making credit more difficult or expensive to access in future. You can settle early through the app at any time without penalty.
The Ryt Bank app is available on the App Store or Google Play.
