KUCHING, SARAWAK, 11 August 2026 — RJ Group of Companies and Maybank have continued their partnership with tailored financing solutions for home buyers in Sarawak through Zai Residences, the Group's latest residential development.

The partnership sees Maybank offering end-to-end financing support that makes homeownership more accessible, including options designed for green-certified homes. Zai Residences marks another step in RJ Group's commitment to developing homes that balance quality, functionality, and environmental responsibility. Zai Residences comprises 422 service apartments ranging from 527 to 1,279 sq ft, with easy access to the city centre and surrounding amenities. Slated for completion in Q3 2029, the development is currently pursuing Green Building Index (GBI) certification.

Datuk Lily Lim, Chief Executive Officer of RJ Group of Companies, said the partnership reflects the strength of a relationship built over time.

“Building a green home is only one part of the journey. People also need financing that gives them confidence to take the next step. Our partnership with Maybank continues to be driven by a mutual goal, which is to make quality and sustainable living more accessible. We want buyers to enjoy a home that is designed for the future while having financing flexibility that makes the home ownership journey easier.”

Home buyers can choose from two financing solutions from Maybank for Zai Residences: a bundled Maybank MaxiHome + MyDeco Financing package for home and interior financing, or a standalone Maybank MaxiHome financing tailored for selected certified green properties.

The MaxiHome + MyDeco Financing bundle is designed to be an end-to-end home ownership financing solution, combining MaxiHome financing at preferential rates with additional margin of finance of up to 30% of the property price with MyDeco financing for interior design, furnishing, fittings and decoration.

Under the standalone Maybank MaxiHome financing for certified green properties, customers can enjoy up to 95% financing of the home's purchase price, plus an additional 5% to cover costs such as credit insurance/takaful, legal fees, valuation and stamp duty.

Maybank's two financing options for Zai Residences empower potential homeowners with the flexibility of convenience and value, or the long-term benefits of a sustainable home that reflects their personal preferences.
