As we continue to help our readers make better financial decisions in their lives, we also constantly search for innovative ways to help simplify and speed up loan, credit card, insurance, and other application process. While working with our long-time partner, RHB Bank, we found that we can collaborate on helping Malaysians apply for a personal loan with zero hassle and almost instant approval. The rest, as they say, is history.

How does our Chatbot AI work?

As a real-time messenger-style personal loan application platform, RinggitPlus x RHB Chatbot gives you the flexibility of applying for a personal loan at any time of the day, minus the manual completion and submission of application forms.

It gives you the freedom to apply for a personal loan without the need to adhere to standard banking hours, waiting in queues, or even wait a long time for loan approvals! All you really need to do is just visit our website
, go to RHB Easy Pinjaman Express webpage, and you can start your loan application process any time of the day!

Can’t finish your personal loan application because you have other matters that require your immediate attention? That’s alright. Through our chatbot technology, you can choose to pause your application process and resume whenever you feel is convenient for you
