News & Reviews:   MAE app

Getting malware on your phone can be detrimental, especially when you go into any suspicious links or install them. In a continuing effort to fight against scams, Maybank has announced a new security feature on the MAE app to counter those.

Today, Maybank rolled out a new update on the MAE app that allows users to switch between individual and sole proprietor access. To use this new feature, customers must update the MAE app to the latest 0.9.25 version on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery.

Since the eMADANI launch two days ago, many Malaysians have successfully claimed while others didn't. That being said, it turns out that the RM100 credit has quite a few restrictions. 

The eMadani program has begun today and in case you missed it, the four platforms that will give away the free RM100 credit are none other than Maybank's MAE app, ShopeePay, Touch 'n Go eWallet and Setel. And like before, there are some differences between each of them and if you're not sure which to claim, here's a breakdown of what you can get from each platform. 

Yesterday, our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the official distribution date for the RM100 e-Madani (formerly known as e-Tunai). Eligible participants can redeem the RM100 credit starting from 4 December 2023 but the providers were not mentioned until today. 

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?

If you are a new Maybank user, you ought to quickly activate Secure2u as soon as possible. According to Maybank's latest statement, all first-time Secure2u activations and activation on new devices will require activation through a Maybank ATM. 

A few hours ago, some MAE app users spotted a new Google Pay advertisement. At the time of posting this news, the advertisement has since then been removed but still, what goes online stays online. 

Maybank today announced that it has completed the migration from SMS OTPs to Secure2u for its online banking services. These include bill payments and DuitNow, FPX and IBG transactions.

As we reported before, Maybank will move the Secure2u authorization to the MAE app permanently on 1 July 2023. With this, getting Secure2u on the app is the only authorized method to approve all transactions made through the Maybank2u web, M2U MY app or MAE app.
