SPECIFIC TERMS & CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO RYT BANK SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Account Opening

The opening of a Ryt Bank Savings Account (Savings Account) with us is subject to the Bank’s requirements including, without limitation, as to age, capacity, identification documents, account verification requirements, minimum initial deposit, and the minimum account balance to be maintained at all times. The Bank may have different requirements for different legal personalities.

Information on the eligibility requirements, minimum initial deposit and the minimum account balance are available in the Schedule hereto, on our App, and/or our website at https://rytbank.my. The eligibility requirements, minimum initial deposit and minimum account balance may be updated from time to time and can be viewed on our App and/or website at https://rytbank.my.

The Bank may allow you to open, maintain and operate only one Savings Account in your sole name for personal use. This means that each retail customer can only open one Savings Account at any one time. If the Bank becomes aware that you are maintaining more than one Savings Account, we reserve the right to close and terminate any additional Savings Accounts with notice to you.

An application for a Savings Account is subject to approval by the Bank. You understand and agree that we have sole and absolute discretion to determine whether to provide a Savings Account to you.

We reserve the right to reject any application (including any application that does not fulfil our criteria) and shall be under no obligation to provide any reason for or information in respect of any unsuccessful application.

For account verification purposes, you must fulfil the Savings Account funding requirement within 90 days from the date of account opening. Failure to do so may result in closure of your Savings Account.

You agree that you will only use your Savings Account for personal savings purposes. If your Savings Account is used for business purposes or purposes other than for personal savings, the Bank reserves the right to close your Savings Account and/or terminate the provision of any service or product to you.

The Savings Account is denominated in Ringgit Malaysia only.

You shall operate and administer the Savings Account in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, as well as directives on international and domestic currency transactions including the foreign exchange policy (FEP) administered by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Prior to opening a Savings Account and as and when required, we may require you to provide relevant information and/or documents required for account opening, including to ensure compliance with the FEP and applicable laws and regulations.

Once a Savings Account is successfully opened and you fulfil the Savings Account funding requirement within 90 days from the date of account opening, you may perform fund withdrawals and fund transfers, denominated in Ringgit Malaysia only, to and from the Savings Account. Funds transferred into your Savings Account will be deposited into your Savings Account.

We may also impose a maximum account balance to be maintained in a Savings Account. Information on the maximum account balance, if any, is available on our website https://rytbank.my.

Where a limit has been imposed and the maximum account balance is reached, you agree that:

  1. you are responsible for ensuring that such limit is not reached; and
  2. where such limit has been reached, you agree that we, in our absolute discretion:
    (i) need not accept any Instruction or allow any transaction on the Savings Account, which would cause the balance to go above the maximum account balance; and/or
    (ii) may take any other action to ensure that the maximum account balance is not exceeded.

A Savings Account is an interest-bearing account.

Interest will be calculated daily based on the balance in your Savings Account at the end of each day, or using such other methods as the Bank may determine and notified to you from time to time.

The accrued interest will be credited to your Savings Account on a daily basis, when the accrued interest payable is at least RM0.01. The Bank will not credit any amount to your Savings Account if the accrued interest payable is less than RM0.01.

We reserve the right not to pay you any interest on the credit balance in your Savings Account if you breach any of your obligations under the Banking Agreement (including these Specific Terms).
