RHB Banking Group has introduced RHB Wealth Advance (RWA) and Takaful mySmart Income Enhanced (MSIE), combining investment, protection, and income features to support customers across different life stages and financial priorities.

They seek solutions that enable them to grow, protect, and eventually transfer their wealth with confidence. With RWA and MSIE, we continue to innovate and help them achieve these objectives while offering two distinct yet complementary pathways that cater to different financial priorities, risk appetites, and life stages.”

RWA is a flexible protection and investment solution that supports wealth accumulation and intergenerational wealth transfer. It features short premium commitment options of 3, 5 or 8 years and protection coverage up to age 128. RWA offers Guaranteed Acceptance up to age 75 with no health questionnaire required. The plan also features a 100% allocation rate for basic premiums from the first year, provides access to a diversified range of investment funds, and offers enhanced protection benefits, including coverage of up to 200% of total premiums paid, with additional benefits for accidental death events.

“By committing for a limited period, customers can secure lifetime protection, access diversified investment opportunities, and benefit from features that support long-term wealth continuity for loved ones,” said Ms Kang Yu Fen, CEO of Tokio Marine Life. “Everyone deserves dependable solutions that help them build, preserve, and transfer wealth with confidence. RWA is purposefully designed to empower customers at every stage of their financial journey.”

Complementing this is MSIE, a Shariah-compliant family takaful solution distributed through RHB Islamic Bank.
