RJ Group and Maybank expand financing options for Zai Residences
A strengthened banking partnership gives prospective homeowners more flexibility to fund both their purchase and the finishing touches that turn a property into a home.
KUCHING — RJ Group and Maybank have expanded their partnership with tailored financing for buyers of Zai Residences, aimed at making green-focused homeownership more accessible.
The Kuching development will feature 422 serviced apartments between 527 and 1,279 square feet. It is targeting completion in the third quarter of 2029 and is pursuing Green Building Index certification.
Making sustainable homeownership more attainable
RJ Group chief executive officer Datuk Lily Lim described sustainable design and practical financing as two essential parts of the same homeownership journey. While a green home can offer lasting value, she noted that buyers also need a financing structure that gives them the confidence to move forward.
She said RJ Group’s long-standing relationship with Maybank is grounded in a shared aim: making well-designed, sustainable homes accessible to more people. By combining a future-ready residence with greater financial flexibility, the partnership is intended to make each step—from purchasing the property to preparing it for everyday living—feel more manageable for buyers.
Homebuyers may consider two Maybank options. A bundled MaxiHome and MyDeco package offers preferential rates and, subject to eligibility, additional financing of up to 30% of the property price for interior work and furnishings. A standalone MaxiHome option for selected certified green properties may finance up to 95% of the purchase price, plus another 5% for eligible costs including insurance or takaful, legal, valuation, and stamp-duty expenses.
The choices are intended to support buyers through both the purchase and furnishing stages.
Financing eligibility, margins, rates, and related benefits are subject to Maybank’s assessment and prevailing terms and conditions. Prospective buyers should obtain current product details directly from Maybank or an authorised representative before making a financial commitment.
