## About

Malaysian bank offering online banking, debit and credit cards, and multi-currency accounts for retail and business customers

## Activity summary

Restricted for Syrian customers. A community report in August 2026 documented that RHB Bank terminated internet banking, debit and credit cards, and the multi-currency account held by a Syrian customer, leaving only branch counter service. The bank's letter cites internal policy without naming a reason, and no outreach has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-08-25 — Investigated. A community report documented that RHB Bank terminated internet banking, debit and credit cards, and the multi-currency account held by a Syrian customer. The bank's letter cites only its internal policies and requirements, and offers branch counter service as the alternative. The community report attributes the termination to Syrian nationality; the letter itself does not state a reason.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
