About GXBank
GXBank is a Grab-affiliated digital bank that operates without physical branches and is entirely app-based. It has gained attention for its daily interest feature, but account opening requires MyKad (Malaysia's national identity card), which means foreigners cannot open accounts as a general rule. We include it here for reference when comparing options.
