RHB unveils new app featuring Malaysia’s first banking widget


KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Banking Group has launched its new RHB Mobile Banking App (MBK App), offering customers a faster, simpler, and more secure way to manage their everyday finances.

In a statement, the bank said the new MBK App is a key milestone in RHB’s broader digitalisation agenda under its three-year PROGRESS27 strategy.

RHB said the app offers a more intuitive and seamless user experience, with faster load times, biometric login, SecurePlus transaction protection, and malicious app detection.

“The new RHB MBK App reflects our ongoing commitment to making banking more accessible, seamless, and secure for all Malaysians. We have designed this app with user experience at its core, empowering our customers to take control of their finances anytime, anywhere with confidence and ease,” RHB Banking Group managing director, group community banking Jeffrey Ng.

RHB said a standout feature is Malaysia’s first-ever banking widget, which lets users make payments and transfers directly from their home screen without opening the app, setting a new standard for mobile banking convenience.

The new app also features RHB’s Multi-Currency Account, enabling customers to buy and sell foreign currencies at competitive rates, all within a few taps. Additionally, customers can redeem in-app reward points earned from day-to-day banking activities, for a wide range of preferred items.

“Our new app is not just an upgrade or a refresh, it reflects our vision to reimagine how our customers manage their finances – faster, smarter and more intuitive, empowering them to take control of their finances with ease and confidence,” Ng said.

As part of the rollout, RHB has partnered with Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PayNet) to launch an exclusive customer rewards campaign, encouraging wider use of QR code payments, a space where Malaysia now ranks second globally with 66.1% adoption, just behind China.

The campaign, which runs from May 1 to Oct 31, 2025, offers customers a chance to win a share of RM450,000 in cashback rewards. Each RM10 transaction made using DuitNow QR via the app qualifies as five entries into the draw.
