Frequently asked questions
Cancel Rhb: The Right Way
How to cancel RHB banking, insurance, and payment services in malaysia
Understanding RHB and what you might want to cancel
RHB is a major Malaysian financial group offering banking accounts, credit cards, instalment products, and insurance policies. Your cancellation route depends entirely on which product you hold, because RHB insurance operates under different rules than a recurring card payment or a bank account facility.
The distinction matters because Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (amended in 2010) sets out your right to cancel certain contracts within a cooling-off period, but insurance and banking services are governed by additional sector-specific rules. Yafee specialises in helping Malaysian consumers navigate these overlapping frameworks so you cancel the right way the first time.
RHB products and what they cost
RHB operates several distinct product lines. Your savings account options include My1 Account (RM15 annual fee), MaxCash Account (RM0), and RHB Smart Account (RM0). RHB also offers instalment features such as Dial-An-Instalment at a 2.50% one-time upfront rate for 6 months, and credit cards with varying fee structures.
RHB Insurance is a separate entity within the group, offering motor, home, travel, and personal accident cover. Premiums vary by policy type and duration. Crucially, according to RHB Insurance's published terms, cancellation does not trigger a premium refund once the policy is active. This is the primary trap that confuses customers who expect to recover unused coverage costs.
Where cancellation confusion starts
RHB customers often struggle because they conflate different products under one brand. You may hold an insurance policy and a bank account simultaneously, but each cancellation follows a separate legal and procedural path. Furthermore, RHB does not operate as a typical app subscription sold through Google Play or the Apple App Store, so the standard smartphone subscription-cancellation route does not apply. Instead, you must contact RHB directly or use your in-app options within the RHB Mobile Banking platform.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your legal entitlements when cancelling RHB products are grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and supplemented by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) guidelines and insurance industry regulations.
The consumer protection act 1999 and your cooling-off period
Under Section 50 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel most consumer contracts within 10 calendar days of signing, provided you have not used the service substantially. This cooling-off window applies to credit card applications, personal loans, and some insurance policies sold away from RHB's premises (such as policies sold by a broker or online without direct branch involvement).
However, if you signed up inside an RHB branch or via direct negotiation with an RHB representative, the cooling-off period may not apply because the Act carves out transactions concluded in face-to-face negotiations. Consequently, your legal position depends on how and where you opened the product, not just which product it is.
Bank negara malaysia guidelines and deposit protection
If you are closing a RHB bank account, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) regulations require the bank to transfer any remaining balance to you within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 business days). BNM also oversees fair banking conduct, so if RHB delays your refund or wrongly charges closure fees, you can escalate to BNM's Financial Services Customer Complaint Centre.
Insurance act 1963 and policy cancellation
RHB Insurance policies are governed by the Insurance Act 1963. This law states that an insurer may refuse to renew a policy but must act in good faith. If you cancel within the first 30 days (the statutory cooling-off period for insurance), you may recover most of your premium less a proportional admin charge. Beyond 30 days, no refund is guaranteed unless RHB's policy wording specifies otherwise. This is why checking your policy documents is critical before you cancel.
Your legal position: what RHB must do
RHB must: acknowledge your cancellation request within 2 business days (standard banking practice); process it without delay once it is confirmed; provide written confirmation of cancellation; cease all charges immediately; and transfer any refundable balance to your nominated account. RHB cannot: hold your money pending "verification", refuse to cancel without legal grounds, or charge you a cancellation fee unless your contract explicitly permits it and you were informed in writing before you signed.
If RHB breaches these obligations, you can lodge a complaint with the Financial Services Customer Complaint Centre (FSCCC), a free, independent ombudsman scheme. Yafee recommends recording all communication with RHB so you have evidence if you need to escalate.
Methods to cancel RHB services
RHB offers multiple cancellation routes depending on the product and your access to channels. Each route has different processing times and proof requirements.
Cancellation via RHB mobile banking app
If your product (such as a recurring card payment or instalment plan) is managed through the RHB Mobile Banking app, you may be able to cancel directly within the app interface. Log in, navigate to the relevant product or payment instruction, and look for a "Cancel" or "Stop Payment" button. Once you select it, confirm your request and take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
Cancellation by phone
Call RHB's customer service team at 603-9206 8118. Lines are open Monday to Thursday 8:45am to 5:45pm, Friday 8:45am to 4:45pm, and Saturday 9am to 1pm (excluding public holidays). Customer service is also available daily 9am to 9pm via in-app chat in RHB Mobile Banking. When you call, have your account number, policy number (if applicable), and the exact product name ready. Ask the agent to confirm your cancellation in writing via email the same day, and request a reference number.
Cancellation by email
Email your cancellation request to [email protected]. Include your full name, account number, product name, reason for cancellation, and preferred refund method. Send the email from the email address registered to your RHB account to speed up verification. Yafee advises sending this via registered/tracked email so you have proof of delivery, especially for insurance policies.
Cancellation for RHB insurance by phone or letter
RHB Insurance operates a dedicated cancellation process. Call 1300 220 007 (toll-free) or write a formal letter to RHB Insurance with 14 days' notice as specified in their policy terms. The letter must include your policy number, cancellation date, and signature. Send it via registered mail to ensure it reaches RHB within the notice period. Be aware that RHB Insurance does not refund premiums after the policy is activated, so cancelling mid-term typically means losing your unused coverage cost.
Cancellation at an RHB branch in person
You can visit any RHB bank branch and request cancellation face-to-face. Bring your account or policy documents and a government-issued ID. The branch staff will complete a cancellation form and provide you with a signed copy. In-branch cancellation often processes faster than phone or email because the staff can verify your identity immediately and flag your account on the spot.
Step-by-step guide to cancel RHB services
Follow this procedure for a clean, documented cancellation that protects your legal position.
Step 1: identify your exact product and contract terms
- Log into your RHB account or find your physical policy document.
- Take a screenshot of the product summary page showing the product name, account/policy number, and current status.
- Note the date you opened the product and the date of your most recent charge.
- Check the policy or terms document for cancellation clauses, refund policies, and notice periods.
- For insurance, look for the cooling-off period (usually 30 days) and post-cooling-off refund terms.
- For bank accounts and card payments, confirm whether there are early closure fees or minimum commitment periods.
- Record the exact billing descriptor as it appears on your bank statement (e.g., "RHB MOTOR INSURANCE" or "RHB INSTALMENT PAYMENT").
- This descriptor helps customer service identify the exact charge if multiple RHB services are active on your account.
Step 2: contact RHB using your preferred channel and confirm your intent
- Choose your cancellation method: in-app, phone, email, or in-branch visit.
- Phone or in-branch are fastest if you need same-day confirmation.
- Email is best if you want a written record automatically.
- State your cancellation clearly: "I wish to cancel [product name] account/policy number [your number] effective immediately" or with 14 days' notice if RHB's terms require it.
- Do not use vague language like "I want to stop charges." Be explicit.
- Explain your reason briefly (optional but helpful for customer service notes).
- Yafee notes that RHB staff may offer retention incentives if you state a reason; you are not obliged to accept them.
- Request a confirmation number or reference code on the spot.
- If by phone or in-app, write it down immediately.
- If by email, request a reply confirmation within 2 business days.
Step 3: document the cancellation and set a verification date
- If you cancelled by phone, send a follow-up email to [email protected] the same day summarising: date called, time, agent name (if noted), confirmation number, and the product cancelled.
- This email creates a paper trail and forces RHB to respond if anything goes wrong.
- If you cancelled by in-app or in-branch, take a screenshot or request a printed copy of the cancellation form.
- Save these files with the date and your reference number in the filename.
- Mark your calendar for 5-7 business days after cancellation to check your account.
- Verify that charges have stopped and any refund has been processed.
Step 4: monitor your account and confirm charges have ceased
- Log into RHB Mobile Banking and check your statement daily for 10 days after cancellation.
- Look for any new charges under the cancelled product's billing descriptor.
- If a charge appears post-cancellation, screenshot it immediately and note the exact date and amount in RM.
- This is evidence of a billing error that RHB must remedy.
- Contact customer service again if you see a post-cancellation charge, referencing your original cancellation confirmation number.
- Demand an immediate reversal and written confirmation of why it occurred.
Step 5: handle refunds and final balance
- If a refund is due (e.g., insurance policy within cooling-off period, bank account balance, or overpayment), check your nominated bank account after 5-10 business days.
- RHB must process refunds to the original payment method unless you provided alternative bank details.
- If the refund does not arrive within 10 business days, contact customer service with the cancellation reference number and request a refund status update.
- Ask for the exact date the refund was processed and the amount in RM.
- If RHB cannot locate the refund, ask them to issue a replacement payment or credit to your RHB account immediately.
- Do not accept delays beyond 14 business days from the cancellation date.
Refund policy and what you can expect to recover
Your refund entitlement depends on which RHB product you are cancelling and how long you have held it.
RHB insurance refunds
| Cancellation timing | Refund eligibility | What you recover |
|---|---|---|
| Within 30 days (cooling-off period) | Entitled to refund (minus admin fee) | Approximately 90-95% of premium paid |
| 31 days to policy end date | No automatic refund | RM0 unless policy wording specifies prorated refund |
| At or after policy renewal date | No refund | RM0; new term treated as separate contract |
RHB bank account closures
When you close an RHB bank account, you recover your full remaining balance in RM (less any outstanding charges such as unpaid overdraft or late fees). RHB processes this refund to a nominated account within 5 business days. If the account is in debit (you owe RHB money), RHB may offset the balance against your refund or initiate recovery proceedings. Yafee advises settling any debit before you cancel to avoid complications.
RHB card recurring payments and instalment plans
Cancelling a recurring card payment stops future charges immediately but does not refund past payments. If you have overpaid or been charged in error, you can request a chargeback or dispute the transaction with your card issuer within 60 days of the charge date. Instalment plans typically cannot be cancelled mid-term without paying the full outstanding balance, so review your instalment agreement before you cancel to understand any early settlement fees.
Pricing and fees associated with RHB services
Understanding the cost structure helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move.
| RHB product | Cost / annual fee | Typical charge frequency |
|---|---|---|
| My1 Account | RM15 annual fee | Annually (or monthly at RM1.50) |
| MaxCash Account | RM0 | No annual fee |
| RHB Smart Account | RM0 | No annual fee |
| Dial-An-Instalment | 2.50% upfront fee (6-month term) | One-time upfront, then repayment schedule |
| RHB Credit Cards | RM0 to RM300+ per year (varies by card type) | Usually charged annually on approval date |
| Motor/home insurance (avg.) | RM200-RM1,500+ per year (varies) | Monthly or annual premium |
Common mistakes when cancelling RHB services
Most cancellations fail not because of RHB's obstruction but because customers make preventable procedural errors. Take heart; these mistakes are avoidable if you follow a documented process.
Mistake 1: cancelling via the wrong channel
Customers often try to cancel RHB products through iTunes or Google Play, as if RHB were a subscription app. It is not. The only cancellation channels that work are RHB Mobile Banking, phone, email, in-person, or (for insurance only) registered mail. Attempting to cancel through an app store creates a paper trail of failed requests and delays your actual cancellation by weeks.
Mistake 2: not confirming cancellation in writing
If you cancel by phone or in-app, you have no written proof that RHB received or processed your request. Always follow up with an email to [email protected] summarising the cancellation, including your reference number and the date you called. This email is your legal shield if RHB later claims you never asked to cancel.
Mistake 3: assuming all refunds are automatic
RHB does not automatically refund overpayments or unused insurance premiums. You must request the refund explicitly and monitor your account to ensure it arrives. If it does not arrive within 10 business days, escalate to customer service with evidence (your cancellation confirmation email).
Mistake 4: not checking for post-cancellation charges
Some customers cancel and never verify that charges have truly stopped. Recurring billing errors happen, especially if RHB's system treats a cancellation as a "pause" rather than a permanent stop. Check your statement for 14 days post-cancellation. If a charge reappears, you can claim it back as an unauthorized debit.
Mistake 5: missing the insurance cooling-off deadline
Insurance policies offer a 30-day cooling-off window with a partial refund, but only if you cancel within that window. Once 31 days pass, no refund is due. Many customers delay, miss the deadline, and then cannot recover their premium. Calculate your deadline now: if you bought your RHB insurance on 15 March, you must cancel by 14 April to qualify for the refund.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end with a confirmation number. You must take several follow-up steps to ensure the cancellation is truly final and no surprise charges occur.
Verification period: days 1 to 14 post-cancellation
After cancellation, monitor your RHB account daily for at least 14 days. Check for any lingering charges, recurring debits, or system glitches. If a charge reappears, screenshot it and contact RHB immediately with your cancellation reference. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for day 5 and day 10 post-cancellation as checkpoints.
Refund tracking
If you are due a refund (insurance, account closure, or overpayment), track it daily after day 5. Log into your receiving bank account and confirm the deposit. If it does not arrive by day 10, request a refund status from RHB customer service in writing. Ask for the exact amount, date processed, and recipient account details.
Archive all documentation
Save all cancellation emails, screenshots, confirmation numbers, and refund receipts in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage. Label the folder with the product name and cancellation date. This archive is your evidence if you need to lodge a dispute or complaint with the Financial Services Customer Complaint Centre.
Inform linked services if applicable
If you cancelled an RHB insurance policy and your vehicle or property policy was tied to it, notify your insurer that RHB Insurance is no longer your provider. Confirm that you have replacement cover before the RHB policy lapses to avoid any protection gap.
Escalation: what to do if RHB refuses to cancel
If RHB fails to cancel your service, charges you an unjust cancellation fee, or withholds a refund, you have formal complaint routes under Malaysian law.
Step 1: escalate within RHB
Submit a formal written complaint to the RHB complaints department. Email [email protected] and copy in the subject line "FORMAL COMPLAINT: CANCELLATION DENIAL [YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER]". Include your cancellation request date, reference number, all supporting emails, and a clear statement of what RHB has failed to do. RHB must respond within 14 days under the Malaysian Code of Conduct for Credit Card Issuers.
Step 2: escalate to bank negara malaysia or the insurance regulator
If RHB does not resolve the complaint within 14 days, lodge a complaint with the Financial Services Customer Complaint Centre (FSCCC) at www.fsccc.org.my or by calling 1-300-886-800 (toll-free). The FSCCC is Malaysia's ombudsman for banking and insurance disputes, and it is free. Provide FSCCC with all your correspondence with RHB, your cancellation confirmation, and proof of any refused refund. FSCCC will investigate and issue a non-binding recommendation within 30 days.
Step 3: consumer advocacy and legal remedies
If FSCCC's recommendation is not binding and RHB ignores it, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The MDTCA can impose fines and order compensation. Alternatively, you can initiate civil court proceedings to recover the wrongly withheld refund or claim damages for breach of contract. Legal aid is available if you meet the income threshold; contact the Legal Aid Bureau Malaysia for eligibility details.

Why customers cancel RHB services and when you should keep them
Cancellation is not always the answer. Before you proceed, ask yourself whether cancellation serves your actual goal.
Valid reasons to cancel RHB services
- You have found a cheaper alternative provider (compare premiums or fees explicitly in RM before cancelling).
- You no longer need the product (e.g., sold your insured vehicle, closed the business account).
- RHB has failed to deliver the service (missed claim payments, repeated billing errors).
- You are charged unfairly or without your consent (recurring payment you did not authorise).
- You want to consolidate services with one bank for simplicity.
Reasons you might want to keep your RHB product
- Insurance gap: Cancelling insurance mid-term leaves you unprotected. Ensure replacement cover is active before you cancel.
- Credit history impact: Closing a credit card or bank account affects your credit score; keep accounts open if you do not need to close them.
- Instalment commitment: Cancelling an instalment plan early may trigger early settlement fees that exceed the benefit of quitting.
- Loyalty rewards: Some RHB products accrue reward points; closing them forfeits unused points.
| Scenario | Action | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance premium too high | Compare other insurers first | Cancel only if replacement cover starts before RHB lapses |
| Credit card not used | Consider downgrading to zero-fee card or keeping it dormant | Keep it open to preserve credit history; do not cancel |
| Recurring charge you did not authorize | Cancel immediately and dispute the charge | Cancel now; RHB must refund unauthorized charges |
| Instalment plan with early settlement fee | Calculate: remaining balance + fee vs. benefit of cancelling | Cancel only if total cost is lower than completing the term |
| Moving overseas | Confirm which products can stay active abroad | Cancel only the products RHB cannot service overseas |
| Better deal elsewhere | Lock in new provider's rates first, then cancel RHB | Cancel once replacement is active |

Yafee is a specialised contract-cancellation platform that has helped thousands of Malaysian consumers cancel RHB services, mobile subscriptions, insurance policies, and fintech products without legal drama or surprise charges.

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling RHB banking, insurance, or payment services is straightforward if you follow a documented process and keep written proof at every stage. Your legal rights are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (cooling-off periods and fair cancellation), Bank Negara Malaysia (account closures and refunds), and the Insurance Act 1963 (policy cancellations within 30 days). Yafee has walked you through the exact steps: identify your product, contact RHB via your preferred channel, document the cancellation in writing, monitor your account, and escalate to the Financial Services Customer Complaint Centre if RHB fails to comply.
The key to a successful cancellation is consistency. Use only official RHB channels (not app stores), keep all emails and reference numbers, and verify charges have stopped within 14 days. If RHB refuses to cancel or withholds a refund, you have a free escalation route to FSCCC, which is Malaysia's independent ombudsman for banking and insurance disputes.
Do not delay if you have already identified an RHB service you want to cancel. Every day you wait is another day of charges, and insurance policies have strict cooling-off deadlines that pass quickly. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel RHB services without penalty, and your cancellation can be processed just as cleanly if you act now.
