BNM revises RENTAS retail-settlement balance rules and FRPS+ charges from 1 September
Bank Negara Malaysia has reissued the Operational Procedures for MYR settlement in RENTAS, effective 1 September 2026. Version 1.9 is a narrow but operationally material update touching the Near Real Time Settlement module's balance mechanics, third-party payment messaging and the fee schedule. If you run treasury or payments operations against a RENTAS settlement account, these changes affect intraday funding and cost.
- Version 1.9 takes effect on 1 September 2026 and binds all RENTAS participants under section 35 FSA and section 45 IFSA.
- Clause 38.15 revises the NRTS minimum-balance mechanism and calculation formula and updates the maximum-balance threshold.
- Appendix II adds sweep-in and sweep-out charges and updates effective charges for FRPS+ utilisation and FRPS+ Overnight Charges.
- Guideline I on MYR Third Party Payments adds guidance on the usage of IFT04 in pacs.009.001.08.
