• What is the maximum financing tenure?

  Financing tenure means the period of your financing. The maximum financing tenure for Al Rajhi Bank Personal Financing-i is 8 years. Why does this matter? The longer your financing tenure is, the lower your monthly repayment will be. But it also means that you pay a higher amount by the end of your tenure.

• Who can apply for this personal financing from Al Rajhi Bank?

  Al Rajhi's personal financing-i is only open for Malaysian citizens with a fixed annual income of at least RM60,000.

• How do I qualify?

  Income: Your minimum gross salary must be at least RM5,000 per month, or RM60,000 a year. Gross salary means salary before monthly deductions such as income tax and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contribution. Only fixed-income earners are eligible.

  Age: Between 21 – 60 years old. If you apply for it at 55, this means your maximum tenure can only be 5 years or when you reach 60 years old.

  Other qualifying criteria: You must be a Malaysian citizen. Malaysian citizens working in Singapore but residing in Malaysia will also be considered.

• What is Al Rajhi Personal Financing profit rate?

  The Al Rajhi Personal Financing-i offers a tiered profit rate as follows:

  Financing value	Financing period	Your annual income	Profit rate
  RM10,000 to RM250,000	12 – 96 months	Minimum RM60,000	5.99% -11.88% p.a.

  Note: The profit rate is based on your individual risk rating. Having a higher salary lowers your risk rating as it reflects that you are less likely to default on your financial obligations (or conditions) of a financing repayment. However, that’s just one factor the bank considers when they are approving your application.

  Next, Al Rajhi Bank will require an average of 2 business days (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays) to approve and disburse your financing.

• How fast can I get my money?

  The approval process will take up to two working days, and the disbursement of your fund will be done within 24 hours of approval.

• What is my monthly commitment looks like?
