News & Reviews:   MAE

Maybank has alerted customers that it will be undergoing a temporary system maintenance exercise on 14 January 2024 (Sunday). The maintenance will affect Maybank2u (web and app), MAE app and Maybank2u Biz (web and app).

With the launch of eMADANI program yesterday (4 December 2023), the Ministry of Finance Malaysia announced that over 7 million Malaysians have applied for the RM100 credit across MAE, Touch 'n Go eWallet, ShopeePay and Setel. The figure was confirmed at 5 PM yesterday on the government's official Facebook account.

Previously, we mentioned how Maybank’s Cross Border DuitNow QR includes Thailand and Indonesia. Today, Maybank announced the feature includes China as one of the eligible locations for QR payments. That said, what should you know about it?

Maybank has extended their Kill Switch service to also include Credit and Charge cards on top of your existing MAE account and access. As before, you can access the Kill Switch feature via the “…” symbol in the MAE app or go to Settings > Security > Kill Switch on the site.

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. 

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.

Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) School of Business and Economic Assoc Prof Dr Anuar Shah Bali Mahomed has lauded the recently launched Malaysia Digital initiative for its ability to reduce corruption. Specifically, the initiative’s comprehensive implementation of a cashless system will reduce occurrences of corruption as bribes are usually made in cash to avoid being traced.

Update - The services are stable now, you can now resume your transaction on the website and M2U app

Since this morning, it has been reported that both the M2U mobile app and Maybank website are experiencing service interruptions. This is the second time already since the last one about a few days ago but you can still do your transaction business on the MAE app. Wait...why isn't MAE down?

The cashless age is inevitable and Maybank is helping that future become a reality with their MAE (Maybank Anytime, Everyone) app. The name is extremely appropriate as anyone, with or without an account at Maybank, can make use of this nifty feature.
