Malaysia Unveils Ryt Bank: The Nation’s First AI-Powered Banking Experience
AI is revolutionizing the banking landscape, bringing forth a new era of efficiency and personalization. With cutting-edge technology capable of analyzing vast data sets and managing routine tasks with unmatched speed, it’s no wonder that Malaysia is making headlines. Enter Ryt Bank, proudly introduced as the country’s first AI-driven bank, promising to redefine banking for Malaysians.
In a groundbreaking partnership between YTL Group and Sea Limited, Ryt Bank has emerged just ahead of Merdeka celebrations. “Ryt Bank exemplifies that profound innovation can be conceived, developed, and spearheaded right here in Malaysia,” expressed Dato’ Seri Yeoh Seok Hong, Managing Director of YTL Power International. This bank embodies homegrown AI blended with our rich cultural tapestry, creating a banking experience that resonates deeply with Malaysians—one that speaks our languages and understands our unique perspectives.
Banking Tailored for Malaysians
Ryt Bank is crafted with the daily linguistic needs of Malaysians in mind. Its app is currently available in Bahasa Malaysia and English, with Mandarin support set to launch next month. This multilingual approach ensures that financial services are accessible to diverse communities, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
