Hong Leong Bank (HLB) has notified customers that it will be introducing a monthly limit for money transfers made from current or savings accounts to e-wallets via its HLB Connect service. Set to take effect starting from December 2022, the limit will be fixed at RM150 per month.

Aside from the new transfer limit for e-wallets, HLB Connect users are also bound by other existing transaction limits, including DuitNow/GIRO transfers to other bank accounts and transfers to third-party HLB accounts. You can find out more in HLB Connect’s FAQ here.
