Ryt Bank gets on the pitch for its first anniversary

Ryt Bank is marking its first anniversary with a limited-edition jersey created with Malaysian streetwear label Pestle Mortar, bringing the two brands together for their second collaboration.

The Ryt Bank x Pestle Mortar Anniversary Jersey comes in two colourways and combines design cues from both brands with the visual language of sportswear and contemporary street culture. Designed as an everyday piece, the jersey can be styled with casual wear or worn to support a sports team.

The collaboration builds on the brands’ first partnership, which saw Ryt Bank and Pestle Mortar create a limited-edition jacket as the digital bank was establishing its identity.

For the latest collaboration, the brands have moved from a jacket to a jersey, using the format to bring together sport, streetwear and community. The drop also marks Ryt Bank’s first anniversary, turning the milestone into a limited-edition product rather than a conventional brand campaign.

The partnership brings together two Malaysian brands from different categories. Pestle Mortar, founded in Kuala Lumpur in 2010, has built its fashion offering around Malaysian culture, stories and communities, while Ryt Bank was built by Malaysian talent as a digital bank focused on technology-driven financial experiences.

The brands said the collaboration reflects a shared belief in Malaysian creativity and talent, with the jersey intended to show how ideas developed locally can be expressed across different industries and communities.

“The first Ryt piece came at a very different point for both brands, so coming back a year later gave us a chance to build on that relationship rather than simply repeat it,” said Hugh, chief vision officer and co-founder of Pestle Mortar.

“The jersey felt like the right format because it sits naturally between sport, streetwear and community. We wanted it to feel unmistakably Ryt, unmistakably Pestle Mortar, and still like something people would genuinely want to wear,” he added.

The limited-edition jersey retails at RM249 and is available through Pestle Mortar’s website and physical store.

Ryt Bank customers can receive 20% off when purchasing through the Ryt Bank app, using the promotional code provided in-app and paying with a Ryt Card. 

The jersey collaboration follows Ryt Bank’s debut brand campaign, “Banking done right”, created with TBWA Malaysia. The campaign positioned the AI-powered bank around simpler, more human-centric banking, using a five-part video series featuring everyday Malaysian personas to show how its AI-driven products can fit into different lifestyles.

The campaign also established Ryt Bank’s playful brand identity, building on the bank’s name and phrases such as “the Ryt way”, “the Ryt card” and “Do the Ryt thing”. The films were released in Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin, with the brand aiming to distinguish itself from more traditional financial advertising through relatable Malaysian stories and a storytelling-led creative approach.
