Cinch subscriptions are currently available to individuals aged 18 years or older with:

Malaysian Citizens (MyKad holders)

As part of our verification process, all customers must complete an identity check (via MyKad, or MyTentera) through SumSub and a credit check through our Credit partners.

Question 2

Which payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept Debit, Visa, MasterCard or American Express card. We do not accept any prepaid cards.

Question 3

Is the product brand new?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All devices from Urban Republic are guaranteed to be brand new and sourced directly from authorised suppliers.

Question 4

When do I pay the first month’s subscription?

Accepted Answer

Your subscription is billed monthly in advance. Your first payment is taken when your order is confirmed. Future payments are charged monthly from the date your product is received, and you’ll only be billed for the time you have the item. For full details, please see our Help Centre articles: When is my first payment due and what is my billing date?

Question 5

Can I buy my device?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can buy your device anytime after your first month. Your buyout price is always shown in your account. It generally goes down the longer you've been subscribed, and it can change over time.

Buying is optional — you can also choose to upgrade, extend, or return your device at the end of your plan.

For full details, please see our Help Centre article: Can I purchase the device?

Question 6

Can I purchase the product immediately?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can buy your device after the first month payment, but it may cost more than buying it retail. Our subscription is designed to spread out costs while offering flexibility and protection.

If you are keen to purchase immediately, we recommend going to your local retailer.

Question 7

How is the purchase price of a device calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your buyout price is based on factors such as the device's original value, how long you've been subscribed, and the device's current value and condition. It generally goes down the longer you've been subscribed, and it can change over time. Check your account for your latest price.

For full details, please see our Help Centre article: Can I purchase the device?

Question 8

How do you make sure my data is safe?

Accepted Answer

We only use your data to manage your relationship with Cinch and our services. Through our Know Your Customer “KYC” Partner, SumSub, we receive standard-format personal data including income information. We only use privacy and encryption protocols that are approved by Bank Negara Malaysia according to the Malaysian Data & Privacy Laws. We take data privacy extremely seriously. For full details on how we protect and manage your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Question 9

Can I upgrade to another model or changed of mind after receiving my order?

Accepted Answer

Once you collect your device in-store, your Urban Republic x Cinch subscription is activated and confirmed. No changes can be made after collection, as you will have verified the device’s condition at handover.

If you need help after pick-up — whether with setup, features, or your subscription — our Customer Experience Team is ready to assist.

Question 10

Am I eligible to subscribe to Cinch?

Accepted Answer

Cinch subscriptions are currently available to individuals aged 18 years or older with:

Question 12

Can I increase my credit limit?

Question 13

What if I am late on my payments?

Accepted Answer

If you miss a monthly payment, a RM35 late fee will be charged for each late payment, and your device usage may be restricted. Repeated missed payments will be reported to the Malaysian credit bureau, which may affect your credit score and result in your Cinch account being suspended until all overdue amounts (including late fees) are cleared.

For full details, please see our Help Centre article: What happens if I miss a payment?

Question 14

I want to add a new payment card.

Question 15

Can I cancel my order after placing an order?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your order as long as it is still being processed and you have not yet received the “Ready for Collection” email.

Please contact our Customer Experience team via Whatsapp or send us an email at support@cinch.my as soon as possible so we can assist with the cancellation.

Question 16

Can I change my chosen minimum subscription period after I have received my device?

Accepted Answer

You may extend or renew your subscription during the final month of your current term. Your monthly fee will then follow the rate of the new term selected. However, you cannot shorten your minimum subscription period unless you choose to terminate your subscription early, which will incur a RM350 early termination fee. If you wish to extend or terminate your subscription, please contact us via WhatsApp or email support@cinch.my

Cinch Damage Coverage covers 90% of repair costs for accidental damage and you’ll be responsible for the full retail price only in cases of theft, loss, wilful damage, water damage, or if the device is beyond repair. Once you return the product in its original packaging, our team will assess and repair the device. If accidental damage is found, you’ll only be charged 10% of the repair cost.

Please do not attempt to repair the device yourself or use third-party repair services, as we cannot cover devices repaired externally.

Question 19

Can I repair or modify my device by myself?

Accepted Answer

We appreciate the intention, but please do not repair or modify the device yourself. To maintain device quality for all customers, only the Cinch Repair Team is authorised to carry out repairs and refurbishments. Devices that have been repaired or altered by third parties cannot be accepted for return, and you may be required to purchase the device.

Question 20

What happens if I lose my device or if it’s stolen?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide reimbursement for lost or stolen devices. You will be responsible for paying the full retail price for a replacement. You may, however, be able to obtain your own insurance that covers loss or theft of rented items—please check with your insurance provider.

For full details, please see our Help Centre article: What should I do if my device is lost or stolen?

Question 21

I didn’t return, extend, or purchase my device, but my rental period has ended. What happens next?

Accepted Answer

If your subscription term ends and no action is taken, your plan will automatically switch to a pay-as-you-go subscription at the same monthly rate. You can still choose to return the device, purchase it, or extend your subscription at any time.

For full details, please see our Help Centre article: What happens when my subscription term is about to end?

Question 22

How and when do I return my device?
