If you haven't login your MAE app or the Maybank2u website yet, you'd be pleased to know that there is a new Kill Switch feature. It's a new security feature and just got rolled out today. 

In just the wee hours of this morning, a tweet was sent out alerting our Minister of Communications and Multimedia of Malaysia, Fahmi Fadzil about another data breach. This time, 13 million Malaysian user data from Astro, Maybank and SPR may have been compromised in the black market.

Maybank recently announced support for DuitNow Request, an easy way to ask for money from friends and family or request payments from business partners. With the new feature, Maybank2u web or MAE app users can easily send a DuitNow Request, with the payer only having to click ‘Pay’ to send the money.

Apple Pay arrived in Malaysia last month, and the local banks are trying to make their cards work with the payment service. Today, Maybank has announced that its American Express cards can also get linked to Apple Pay, starting from now on. 

Previously, we reported that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) told banks in our country to migrate from OTP to more secure authentication. Today, Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has pledged its commitment to the call and will fully replace OTP via SMS with its Secure2u authentication system by June 2023.

Maybank has recently announced that activation of its secure verification feature Secure2U will be permanently moved from the M2U MY app to the MAE app. The bank said that this is part of its continuous effort to safeguard customers’ online banking security.

From now on, Maybank customers can download the monthly statements for their savings accounts right off the Maybank2U website. The bank announced the feature today, and only statements from July 2022 and above will be available for download.

Earlier today, AmBank published a web page revealing its support for Apple Pay. However, due to unknown reasons, it has been taken down. Until now, Maybank goes through the same thing by publishing a web page dedicated to the payment service and deleting it afterwards.

Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has announced that it will be conducting a system maintenance exercise this Sunday, 19 June 2022 from 3am to 7am. Hence, a few of its services will be temporarily unavailable during that time.

Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has warned its consumers to be wary when making online transactions as scammers are now utilising new and sophisticated scam tactics to trick them. These include creating fake apps, phishing sites and creating scam ads on social media.
