RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector is available via iMoney with a free eligibility check. No documents needed at this stage.
What Is RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector?
This is a Shariah-compliant personal financing product designed exclusively for Malaysian government employees (penjawat awam). It uses the Tawarruq concept — no interest (riba) is charged; instead a profit rate is applied under an Islamic commodity transaction structure recognised by Bank Negara Malaysia.
Key advantages over standard personal loans for government servants:
- Higher ceiling (RM300,000 vs RM150,000 for most conventional loans)
- Longer tenure (up to 10 years)
- Repayment via automatic salary deduction — no risk of missed payments
- Shariah-compliant — suitable for Muslims who require Islamic financing

Bank Rakyat and BSN Offer Lower Rates
Bank Rakyat (3.42%) and BSN (4.60%) offer lower profit rates for public sector employees, but with stricter eligibility (minimum tenure in service, specific departments). RHB is worth applying for if Bank Rakyat or BSN reject you, or if you need faster processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum salary for RHB personal loan for government servants?
The minimum gross monthly salary is RM2,000. This makes RHB accessible to lower-grade civil servants such as Grade 11–19 staff who may not qualify elsewhere.
Can contract government servants (pekerja kontrak) apply?
Generally no — RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector is for confirmed (tetap) government servants only. Contract employees are treated differently and may need to apply for a standard personal loan instead.
How is the RHB government servant loan repaid?
Repayment is via automatic salary deduction (potongan gaji). RHB coordinates with your department paymaster to deduct the monthly instalment directly from your government salary before it reaches your account. This eliminates the risk of late payments.
What is the difference between RHB Personal Financing-i Civil Sector and RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres?
RHB Easy-Pinjaman Ekspres (5.02% p.a.) is a conventional loan available to all salaried employees, with a maximum of RM150,000 and 7 years. The Personal Financing-i Civil Sector (5.75% p.a.) is Shariah-compliant, exclusively for government servants, and offers up to RM300,000 over 10 years. If you are a government servant who needs a larger amount or Islamic financing, choose the Civil Sector product.
Does applying affect my credit score?
Applying for any loan triggers a soft inquiry on your CCRIS. Multiple applications in a short period can signal credit stress and affect future applications. Apply through iMoney's pre-screening to check your eligibility first before a formal application is submitted.
Can I apply for RHB loan if I already have a government koperasi loan?
Yes, but your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) must remain within RHB's limit. If your existing koperasi deductions already consume more than 60% of your salary, the remaining loan amount RHB can offer may be limited. Use our DSR Calculator to check before applying.
What happens to my RHB loan if I resign or retire from government service?
If you leave government service, the salary deduction mechanism ends. RHB will require you to set up a standing instruction or manual monthly payment. Early settlement may be an option — contact RHB's customer service at 03-9206 8118 to discuss.
