QUICK ANSWER
Looking for a Loan Using MyKad? What Should You Prepare?
MyKad can be the main identity document, but “using only MyKad” does not mean no other information or checks are needed.
Depending on the provider, you may still need to complete eKYC, provide employment, income and bank-account information, and undergo a financing assessment. For Jomdana-i, the current process includes NRIC and selfie verification, personal, employment and bank-account information, and a financing assessment. Supporting documents may also be requested when needed.
MyKad helps begin and verify an identity. It does not guarantee approval.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
What should you prepare?
These five items can help you begin a digital financing application with the right information at hand.
| Prepare | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| MyKad / NRIC | Identity verification |
| Active phone number | Registration and communication |
| Your own bank account | Application and disbursement details |
| Employment and income information | Supports the assessment process |
| Supporting documents, if requested | Additional checks when needed |
In a digital process, you may also complete eKYC: electronic Know-Your-Customer, which verifies identity electronically during digital onboarding. See Bank Negara Malaysia’s eKYC policy.
- Valid MyKad
- Correct phone and bank details
- Employment and income details
- A repayment amount that fits your budget
