Oohh that 5k thingy huh...

Before this..
Any transactions above 5k got fee... But now they waived it..

Can transfer out 50k also no issues...

The CS would call you & confirm if indeed you doing transfer.... Security features in place...

So any scammer or hacker don't get your money easily 😁

Didn’t even know they waived it. Thanks.

Up until Raya I was still transferring 4999.99 x 10. My protest over being charged to move my money.

I guess I’m not the only one. And end up that just creates more unnecessary load on their service. I’ve been using Rize since its early days. I can only say it does not inspire confidence and reliability. There were mission critical times when I couldn’t access my money and their CS response was to ignore my calls because they do not have a solution.

My personal experience and view is that they behave unlike any other bank in Malaysia, once promo over and no reason to stay, I won’t use them at all.

So think twice if you plan to put all your money in there as your sole bank account. I keep some at GX and it has proven far more reliable and predictable.

How to explain...

Rize works like digital bank but it's not officially license by BNM... They ride on parent Al Raijhi bank license to operate digitally....

Dangerous answer.

Rize is a digital bank by Al Rajhi bank, a fully BNM licensed bank in Malaysia — and it enjoys all the feature a normal bank has, such as PIDM coverage.

It is a different license from the 5 digital bank license.

Think of digital bank license as B2 motor license. Normal bank license as B full motor license.

Both valid, but got different limitations.

Rize app is still shit. I hope the Al Laji app is better. The change of account number is quite bad for people who use it for salary account or business — damn mafan to update.

One reason why they are doing this, Rize doesn't have enough users to sustain as a separate division, operating two apps at the same time cost more money, hence absorbing everything into one is the way to go, same thing happened to Affin Bank and A1addin.

Rize failed to gain traction over the years and they are too selective in choosing which group of people to use their banking services. Fun fact: If you're self employed like Grab/Foodpanda rider, you'll get rejected automatically

Purpose of digital banking is to serve the underbanked community, Rize & Alrajhi is doing the opposite lol.

I did not know they auto reject Grab and foodpanda rider. Oh well, Rize don’t need to serve unbanked, their parent is super rich. But the whole exercise has been stupid… and the product sucks.

All banks also want to serve wealthy customers. lol. Malaysian banks all too kaya, nobody hungry for business.

Tried to transfer out DuitNow and got blocked...

receive a call later from RIZE to verify and allow maintenance bypass

and they claim digital banking. ini phone banking right. really if use rize as a bank account can die.. GX does it so well, does a facial rec to validate and straight process transfer. Pls la, I travel all over the world and nowadays eSIM for data only. I don't take phone calls and don't make calls. DIGITAL age, macam go back stone age in a bloody cave.

I've been using them since early days..and gradually the % drop.. anyhow I am moving everything away once take all benefits. can't wait to be done with this stupid bank.
