Getting MYR to Malaysia from Saudi Arabia
Seen from Riyadh. Gulf families send to students in KL, and Gulf firms pay Malaysian suppliers and contractors. Most banks in Saudi Arabia either won't quote MYR or route it through a second currency, adding a spread nobody discloses.
Grey quotes USD to MYR directly for senders in Riyadh and Jeddah. The MYR lands at Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong or any Malaysian bank as a domestic deposit. Nothing to install on the receiving side.
How sending to Malaysia works
Sign up
Verify with your passport or iqama and Grey issues USD, EUR and GBP account details on the spot. Share those with whoever pays you, then add Kuala Lumpur. Grey works with licensed partners serving the Gulf.
Fund
Give a foreign employer or client your Grey USD, EUR or GBP account details. When they pay, the money is ready to send to Kuala Lumpur.
Send
Malaysia needs the recipient's bank and account number, and Grey validates the account name before you confirm the MYR amount.
What the fee doesn't tell you
Grey does one conversion, USD to MYR, and shows it. What lands at Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong is what was on screen in Riyadh.
The MYR figure doesn't move
Whatever the market does after you tap send in Riyadh, the MYR amount arriving at Maybank is fixed.
For a bill with a due date in Kuala Lumpur, this removes the guesswork.
The old way to Kuala Lumpur, and why it costs more
Ask a bank in Riyadh to send ringgit and you'll often be told to send dollars instead. For years, families sent to Malaysia through dollar transfers with wide margins, or through informal agents with no recourse. Neither is right for money that covers a young person's rent.
MYR into the account, nothing else
MYR into any bank account in Malaysia. Maybank and Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong are all supported, and the credit looks domestic. The sender in Riyadh sees the same settlement confirmation in the app.
Bank delivery
MYR to Maybank and any other bank in Malaysia.
Repeat recipients
Store a recipient once. Every future payment is three taps.

Getting money onto Grey in Saudi Arabia
Senders in Riyadh don't fund Grey from a local bank. Expatriates in Saudi Arabia fund Grey from abroad: a salary paid in dollars, a client overseas, family. That balance sends home without a riyal step.
Dollar salary
Give your Grey USD details to the employer. Done.
Client invoices
Bill in USD, EUR or GBP to Grey and pay Kuala Lumpur from the proceeds.
Standing dollars
Hold USD and convert to MYR at the moment you choose.
Sending to Maybank for the first time? Check the account details twice. After that, Grey remembers them.
