Bank Rakyat Vehicle Financing-i (An Naqlu 2)
Islamic Car Financing in Sarawak
Tawarruq vehicle financing from Bank Rakyat for new national and imported cars: up to 100% margin on the on-the-road price, tenure to 9 years, minimum income RM2,000/month, with published fees (wakalah fee RM28.30, stamp duty RM10) and no early settlement fee.
An Naqlu 2's fee transparency (down to the RM28.30 wakalah fee) and 100% OTR margin are genuinely strong, but the missing profit rate means total-cost comparison still requires a branch visit. For payroll-deduction public-sector buyers it pairs naturally with Bank Rakyat's other salary-linked products. Crawled 6 Aug 2026.
Pros
- 100% OTR margin removes the down-payment barrier
- Itemised fee schedule including the Tawarruq agency fee
- No early settlement fee
Cons
- Profit rate not published - branch quote required
- New vehicles only (An Naqlu 1 hire-purchase covers other cases)
- 9-year maximum tenure produces higher instalments than 9+ year conventional-market norms

Bank Rakyat in Sarawak
Bank Rakyat offers Islamic vehicle financing relevant to Sarawak residents using a tawarruq structure. Unlike a conventional hire purchase, the bank owns, leases, or sells a real asset and earns rental or a disclosed profit rather than interest. Bank Rakyat operates across Malaysia, so Sarawak residents have full access to this product.
Our Take on Bank Rakyat
The value-and-disclosure champion for public-sector Malaysia: unmatched published rates on both sides of the balance sheet, correct contract disclosure - offset by DFI status outside PIDM deposit insurance and public-sector gating on its best financing.
How Bank Rakyat Works
Weigh the PIDM trade-off
Bank Rakyat deposits sit outside PIDM; its rates lead partly for that reason. Size deposits accordingly.
Route payroll if eligible
Biro Angkasa or employer salary deduction unlocks the 3.42%-3.95% fixed PF tiers; electronic payment costs about a point more.
Choose contract variants
Savings-i comes in Tawarruq (published profit) and Qard (historical hibah) presentations - the page separates them correctly.
Use BRICK for online applications
Applications run through the bank's BRICK portal; rates for vehicle financing still require a branch quote.
Financing Structure
Deposits and financing run predominantly on Tawarruq (commodity trades creating fixed obligations), with Qard savings variants paying discretionary hibah. As a cooperative, Bank Rakyat also operates member-shareholding structures, but its retail deposit and financing products are open to the general public.
In-Depth Analysis
Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad is a cooperative bank whose entire model is Islamic - the 2024 annual report describes all products and services as fully Shariah-compliant, guided by a dedicated Shariah Committee with Shariah advisory, review, audit and risk functions beneath it. It is a development financial institution under DFIA 2002 and its own 1978 Act, which brings the cluster's most important caveat: it is not a PIDM member bank, so the RM250,000 deposit insurance that covers commercial Islamic banks does not apply. Crawled 6 Aug 2026.
What Bank Rakyat gives in exchange is market-leading published value. Savings-i pays 1.00% from RM1,000 and 1.25% from RM100,000 (Tawarruq variant; the Qard variant presents the same tiers as historical, discretionary hibah with the correct disclaimer). The Term Deposit-i climbs to 2.30% from 12 months with a monthly-payout option above RM5,000. And the Personal Financing-i Public Sector page is the single most complete consumer-financing disclosure we have seen in Malaysia: fixed tiers 3.42%/3.61%/3.95% (salary deduction, with takaful) through 4.53%-5.22% (electronic payment), floating equivalents from SBR + 2.42%, the +1.50% no-takaful differential, income multipliers (5x-10x) and the RM400,000/10-year envelope, all printed.
Eligibility nuances matter: savings accounts are open to citizens and non-citizens (including associations, cooperatives and certain companies), while the flagship PF requires public-sector, GLC or GLC-subsidiary employment with three months' service. Vehicle financing (An Naqlu 2, Tawarruq) offers 100% OTR margin up to nine years with itemised fees but a branch-quoted rate. Governance: the committee was chaired by Prof. Dr. Azman Mohd Noor per December 2022 reports; BNM's 2021 list recorded members including Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohd Azmi Omar and Wan Rumaizi Wan Husin.
Shariah Compliance Details
- Wholly-Islamic cooperative DFI; Shariah governance under BNM's Shariah Governance Framework for Islamic DFIs, with committee reporting directly to the board
- Committee chaired by Prof. Dr. Azman Mohd Noor (reported December 2022); BNM 2021 list members included Mohd Azmi Omar, Mohammad Zaini Yahaya, Tuan Badrul Hisyam Tuan Soh, Wan Rumaizi Wan Husin
- TD-i terms state governance by BNM's Shariah Advisory Council rulings and the bank's Shariah Committee (T&Cs effective 19 December 2025)
- Not a PIDM member bank; deposit protection arrangements differ
How Bank Rakyat Compares
Against every commercial bank here, Bank Rakyat wins on published rates and loses on PIDM. Against fellow DFI Agrobank, Rakyat has better savings tiers and the PF matrix, Agrobank the better term-deposit board rate (2.50% vs 2.30%).
Fellow fully-Islamic DFI with a higher TD board rate; same non-PIDM caveat.
PIDM-protected Tawarruq shelf with formula-published PF for private-sector borrowers.
Private-sector-accessible PF with printed flat and effective rates.
Bottom Line
If you are public-sector payroll, nothing in this cluster beats Bank Rakyat's published financing tiers; as a saver, take the leading rates with your eyes open about non-PIDM status.

Bank Rakyat is an Islamic cooperative bank and development financial institution regulated by BNM under DFIA 2002, not an IFSA-licensed commercial bank.

Why It's Halal
Shariah concept (Tawarruq) named on-page, with the wakalah (agency) fee for the commodity trade disclosed at RM28.30 - the kind of granular fee transparency Tawarruq products should show. No early-settlement fee is charged. Offered by a fully-Islamic cooperative bank under Shariah Committee and BNM SAC governance. Crawled 6 Aug 2026.
