RHB Islamic Bank Commodity Murabahah Term Financing-i (CMTF-i) for Home
Islamic Home Financing in Kedah
RHB Islamic's Tawarruq home financing for under-construction purchases, completed purchases and refinancing: the page explains that 'through Tawarruq, you pay us the deferred sale price of a commodity and get cash proceeds when the commodity is sold to help finance your home'. Margin of financing is 90% plus up to 10% for MRTT/MLTT and financing entry costs (FEC capped at 5%), minimum financing RM30,000, tenure 5 to 35 years or age 70. Open to residents and non-residents 18+, joint accounts allowed, no location cap within Malaysia. RHB's Islamic rates page prints the full pricing stack: SBRI 2.75% (effective 11 July 2025), home financing board rates from SBRI + 3.05% (effective 5.80%) for RM1,000,000+ down to SBRI + 3.60% (effective 6.35%) under RM250,000, and a standard home financing indicative rate of 4.50% for RM350,000 over 30 years with no lock-in (crawled rhbgroup.com 2026-08-06).
RHB's CMTF-i pairs plain-language Tawarruq disclosure with the most complete printed pricing stack of the six banks: benchmark, spreads by amount tier, effective rates and a 4.50% standard indicative rate, all dated. Read the board grid as the ceiling and the 4.50% as the anchor for negotiation, then benchmark against Bank Islam's printed 3.55% EPR. For buyers who value being able to check every number online before applying, this is the reference product.
Pros
- Most complete printed pricing disclosure in the cluster: SBRI, spreads, effective rates and the 4.50% standard indicative rate
- Low RM30,000 minimum makes it usable for affordable housing
- Non-residents explicitly eligible
Cons
- Printed board rates (5.80% to 6.35%) are ceiling-style reference points well above the 4.50% standard indicative rate; your negotiated spread matters
- MOF slightly trails CIMB's 95%-inclusive structure on upfront cash

RHB Islamic Bank in Kedah
RHB Islamic Bank's Commodity Murabahah (Tawarruq) home financing structure offers Kedah buyers a halal path to homeownership: instead of an interest-bearing loan, the contract is built on trade, leasing, or shared ownership of a real asset. Valuation, land office, and legal steps for a Kedah property run through the state's own machinery; RHB Islamic Bank's panel lawyers handle the process, and floating rates reprice against the Standardised Base Rate under BNM's framework. RHB Islamic Bank operates across Malaysia, so Kedah residents have full access to this product.
