RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres: Quick Approval But High Interest Rates

Consider the RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres if you need urgent financing. This plan offers a quick loan approval of within 24 hours and on-the-spot disbursement.

However, it does have relatively high interest rates. It also charges a 0.5% stamp duty fee on your loan amount, as well as additional fees if you settle your loan early.

Best for: Those looking for a quick-approval loan with low income requirements.

Rates

RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres’ interest rates start from 8.18% p.a. to 13.45% p.a. But the lowest rates are only applicable if you borrow between RM100,000 and RM150,000. Smaller sums, such as below RM50,000, could mean dealing with interest rates of over 11% p.a.

These rates are higher compared to other plans in the market, especially if you are a government servant, as some loans have low interest rates that are exclusive for the public sector. For example, these personal financing plans have lower interest rates than RHB:

PlanEligibilityMinimum incomeApproval durationProfit rate
Bank Rakyat Personal Financing-i Public SectorGovernment servantsRM1,000Up to 3 business days2.31% p.a. - 5.65% p.a.
Public Islamic Bank BAE Personal Financing-iGovernment servantsRM1,5001-2 weeks3.99% p.a. -  4.45% p.a.
AmBank Islamic Personal Financing-iGovernment servants and private sector employeesRM1,5002 business days4.08% p.a. - 7.90% p.a.

However, compared to these plans, RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres does have the fastest loan approval duration. So even with its higher rates, it could make sense if you need financing urgently (and you’re sure you can cover the repayments).

Fees

Like most personal loans on the market, it charges a 0.5% stamp duty fee on your approved loan amount and a late payment penalty of 1% on your outstanding payment.

Another thing to note is that this loan has a lock-in period of six months. This means that if you settle your loan early during this period, you will be charged an early exit fee. This would be RM100 or 1% of your total loan approved, whichever is higher.

We like

  • Fast approval. RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres has a fast approval duration of within one working day.
  • Low minimum income requirements. You just need a minimum income of RM1,500 a month to qualify for this loan.
  • Flexible tenures. You can choose a tenure of within one to seven years.

Things to consider

  • High interest rates. Interest rates start at 8.18% p.a. Many personal financing plans in the market have lower starting profit or interest rates.
  • You’ll need to pay a 0.5% stamp duty, as well as early exit fees if you settle your loan early.
  • Linked bank account. You may need to open a bank account with RHB Bank or RHB Islamic Bank for the loan amount to be credited to your account.
