Ryt Bank is introducing itself to the world as a first-of-its-kind AI-powered bank made by Malaysians, for Malaysians, and personalization is at the heart of the experience. Led by YTL Group in partnership with Sea Limited, Ryt Bank features Ryt AI, a smart and secure banking assistant powered by ILMU, Malaysia's first homegrown large language model. Ryt AI understands Bahasa Malaysia, English, and even Manglish, and helps with everything from paying bills and tracking spending to helping people understand the basics of finance.
"By combining homegrown AI with the values and diversity of our people, we've created a bank that Malaysians can proudly call their own—one that speaks our languages, understands our culture, and sets a new standard for how banking should feel," said Dato' Seri Yeoh Seok Hong, Managing Director, YTL Power International.
