1. Who we are
MyBank Credit Sdn. Bhd. (company no. 200001004910 (507515-H)) is a moneylender licensed by the Ministry of Local Government Development (KPKT) under licence WL7152/14/01. For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA), we are the "data user" responsible for the personal data described in this notice.
Our registered office is at Level 10, Menara Contoh, Jalan Contoh, 50450 Kuala Lumpur (no walk-in service). We serve customers entirely online, so we never ask you to bring or post documents anywhere. You can contact our data protection officer at hello@mybankcredit.example, or by calling or sending a WhatsApp message to 011-2345 9635 during business hours.
2. What we collect on this website
When you send a quote request, we collect only what we need to contact you and give you a realistic offer:
- Your full name, mobile number and, if different, your WhatsApp number
- The loan type, amount and repayment period you are interested in
- Your employment type, a monthly income range and your state
- Your preferred contact time and language
- A one-way hash of your internet (IP) address, kept only to stop automated abuse — we cannot turn it back into your address
If you use the message form on our help page, we also collect the topic, your question and, if you give it, your email address.
3. What we collect when we verify you
If you decide to go ahead, a licensed officer verifies your identity and assesses affordability with you privately, after your enquiry, never through the website form. This happens on a short video call and through our official WhatsApp number shown on this website. During that step we see, and keep copies of:
- Your MyKad (or MyPR), shown on camera during the video call and sent as a clear photo of the front and back, to confirm who you are and your age
- With your consent, a still image taken during the video call showing your face next to your MyKad, kept as our record that we verified you
- Payslips, EPF statements or business income records, sent as photos or PDFs, to assess your income
- Bank statements, to confirm your income and existing commitments
- Your bank account details, to pay the loan into an account in your own name
- With your separate written consent, your credit reports from CCRIS and a registered credit reporting agency
We do not record the video call itself unless we ask you first and you agree. Documents you send to our official WhatsApp are saved by the officer to your encrypted loan file in our own system, normally on the same working day, and then deleted from the chat and from the device. Our WhatsApp account runs only on company-managed devices, never on staff members' personal phones, and we will never ask you to send documents to any other number, an email address or a file-sharing link.
These records become part of the loan file that licensed moneylenders are legally required to keep. If you do not go ahead, we delete them as set out in section 10.
4. Why we use your data
- To contact you about your enquiry and explain the options available
- To verify your identity, on a video call and from the documents you send us, and assess whether a loan is affordable for you
- To prepare your Schedule J or Schedule K loan agreement, have you sign it electronically, stamp it through LHDN's e-stamping system and keep it
- To manage your loan: repayments, statements, reminders and settlement
- To meet our legal obligations, including record-keeping, anti-money-laundering checks and reporting to KPKT
- To protect our website and our customers from fraud and automated abuse
We do not use your data for advertising by other companies, and we do not make loan decisions by automated processing alone — a licensed officer always reviews your application.
5. Your consent
By ticking the consent box on our quote form, you agree that we may process the details you give us for purposes 1 and 6 above. Before we check your credit reports or process your documents for a loan, we ask for your separate consent during the verification step and record it in writing, for example as a consent form you sign electronically or a written confirmation in our official WhatsApp chat.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. If you withdraw it before a loan is signed, we will stop processing your enquiry and delete it, except where the law requires us to keep it.
6. How we follow the seven PDPA principles

8. Data stored outside Malaysia
Some of our IT providers may store data on servers outside Malaysia. Where that happens, we choose providers that protect data to a standard at least equal to the PDPA and bind them by contract to process it only on our instructions. This can include our electronic signing provider and WhatsApp, whose servers may be located outside Malaysia.
