Maybank today launched MAE by Maybank2u, a new app built with a unique ecosystem designed to help Malaysians take charge of their everyday money matters, beyond their regular banking needs. The introduction of the MAE app reaffirms the Bank’s commitment in offering next-generation experience to its customers as it gives a refreshing take on a banking app and further lifts the Group’s offerings in digital banking.
MAE by Maybank2u is the embodiment of the many digital experiences that Maybank has brought to the market over the years, from mobile banking to QR Payments and the MAE digital wallet, and now adding on new exciting features to help its customers better manage their finances.
Tabung is another new feature, designed to help Maybank customers save consistently and regularly to achieve their goals. It makes saving more fun, progressive and convenient by aligning the process to their lifestyle. There are two types of Tabung which can be created - Individual and Group. The group savings feature, the first of its kind by a Malaysian bank, allows customers to jointly save with friends or loved ones towards a goal such as an annual vacation.
To help accelerate the saving process, Maybank has also introduced new complementary features called Boosters which transform micro-spending moments into saving moments. Currently, there are 3 Boosters:
i. Spare Change, which rounds up expenses and transfers the balance into Tabung
ii. Scan & Save, which credits savings earned from promotions used during QR transactions
iii. Guilty Pleasure, which allows you to set a daily spending limit in any category of your choice and an amount to be credited into your Tabung if the limit is exceeded.
For day-to-day spending, Maybank has introduced the all-new MAE Visa Debit card which complements the MAE wallet. It comes with a host of benefits including competitive foreign exchange rates and exclusive perks to enjoy locally and abroad. You can apply for the debit card via the MAE app and it will be delivered directly to their doorsteps. When traveling is safe again, the amount in the MAE wallet will auto convert to the country where the customer is in, which will help customers know exactly how much is available for spending.
Besides the money tools, MAE by Maybank2u also has a fun new feature called the Makan Mana wheel which helps to recommend dining options while allowing Maybank customers to enjoy promotions from thousands of its partner merchants all across the country.
For non Maybank customers are able to conveniently open a MAE wallet via the app and complete the application without having to visit a branch. Once the application is successful, they may start using the app, and have access to all the banking features and money tools within.
