Ready to Invest? Check Your Wahed Malaysia Eligibility

Wondering if you can finally hit that "Sign Up" button? The good news is that opening a Wahed Malaysia account is pretty straightforward.

The Golden Rule: You just need to be 18 or older, have a valid Malaysian NRIC (or a passport with proof of residency), and hold a Malaysian bank account under your own name.

But what if your situation is a little... unique? Let’s break down a few common scenarios:

• 🌍 Expats living in Malaysia: Yes, you are good to go! Just have your passport, proof of residency, and a local bank account ready.
• ✈️ Malaysians living abroad: Yes, you can still invest back home! But here is the catch: you absolutely must still have an active Malaysian bank account to handle your deposits and withdrawals.
• 🛑 Living overseas with no Malaysian bank account: You’ll need to skip the Malaysian platform. Instead, check if Wahed operates in your current country and use that specific version of the app.
• 🎂 Under 18: Not just yet! You’ll need to wait until your 18th birthday to hold your own account.
• 🏢 Business Owners (Sdn Bhd): Want to invest company funds? Corporate accounts are totally doable, but they aren't set up through the standard app. Just shoot a message to the support team, and they will help you get sorted.
