News & Reviews:   Maybank Malaysia

In a recent announcement, Maybank confirmed that certain older version phones and browsers may not be able to run their sites and services safely in Malaysia. This includes phones below Android 10 and iOS 15.

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.

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.

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.

So this just came in, Maybank Malaysia has just announced that its classic Maybank2u website will be discontinued. The decommissioning will begin in January 2022 but don't worry, the company said you can still log in with your existing username and password, as well as bank online with the current Maybank2u.

Please take note that starting from 11:30 pm until 11:59 pm on 11 December 2020 (Friday), there will be some services from Maybank that are will not be available during this period. To minimize any inconvenience, please perform your transactions in advance.

Starting from 3 December 2020, Maybank Malaysia will no longer send any SMS notifications to your smartphone. So whenever you make a Debit Card transaction, the notification will be sent to your Maybank2u (or M2U MY) app instead. 

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.
