Frequently asked questions

What rate does Tambadana MY charge?+

The headline cost is an APR of 18%, a steep figure next to cheaper personal loans. Interest in the published example is charged on the amount borrowed for the days the loan stays open, so holding it longer adds to the total repayable.

How much can I borrow?+

Loan sizes run MYR 300 to MYR 10,000, so the product suits short-term needs rather than major expenses. The types on offer are personal, payday and secured, and Tambadana MY lends direct, which means the decision sits with the lender itself.

How long do I have to repay?+

Terms are 3 to 6, so the balance has to clear inside a short window. In the worked example the borrower repays in a single quarter, with interest shown for the days the loan runs and the total repayable stated.

What credit check will I face?+

Applications run a hard credit check, recorded as hard, and the lender is set up for poor credit files. A hard search stays on your record, so apply when you are comfortable with that.

Who is eligible to apply?+

Eligibility covers Malaysia citizens or residents who are salaried workers with an active bank account and a valid MyKad, and a minimum annual income applies. Self-employed applicants sit outside the stated eligibility rules, and the smallest loan is MYR 300 to MYR 10,000.

How fast do the funds arrive?+

The lender lists same day funding, and money is sent to your bank account within working hours after the agreement is signed. Same-day money still depends on signing that agreement, so the transfer follows approval rather than the application.

Is Tambadana MY regulated?+

It holds a licence from Kementerian Pembangunan Keritagean Tempatan (KPKT), the Ministry of Local Government Development, listed as WL6646/14/01-6/301127. The lender is based in Malaysia and the loan agreement sets out what you owe.

How do I get help with my loan?+

Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre are all listed. Phone and email sit alongside the self-service help centre, which is useful when the agreement or an instalment date needs explaining.
