“We are excited to be working with Maybank to accelerate the adoption of mobile payments and bring greater innovation into the marketplace, starting with Maybank’s customers. As one of the largest banks with the widest customer base in Malaysia, this partnership will offer the hundreds of thousands of Maybank customers access to one of the most convenient mobile payment systems in the world. Since we introduced the early access programme exclusively for Maybank Visa cardholders last month, Samsung Pay has been received positively and continues to gain momentum in customer adoption in the country,” said Mr Lee Jui Siang, Vice President of Mobile and IT Business Unit, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
Working closely with Samsung to make mobile payments widely available in the country and to deliver a truly digital wallet to Malaysian consumers, Maybank is the first bank to join the Samsung Pay ecosystem in Malaysia. Maybank is exclusively offering its customers a firsthand experience of unparalleled access, choice and flexibility when it comes to payment. More banks and merchants are expected to join Samsung’s partnership upon the official launch in the coming weeks.
Maybank Group Chief Strategy Officer, Michael Foong said that he was confident this new digital wallet would be adopted by a significant number of the Bank’s cardholders given its user-friendly features and acceptability worldwide.
“As a leader in the cards and digital banking segment, Maybank has always been at the forefront in leveraging technology to provide greater convenience and secured payment experience,” he said. “As mobile technology and banking converge, even more, we will work harder to create value for all our stakeholders in the future, in line with our aim to be the digital bank of choice in the region.”
