Maybank has re-enabled the online application service for Share Trading (Cash Account) via its Maybank2u website, after having temporarily disabled it since 18 August 2022 for system enhancement.  

Following this update, existing Maybank customers who have registered for a Maybank2u account may once again proceed to apply for Share Trading (Cash Account) fully online via the bank’s website, following these steps:

• Log in to your account 
• Tap on the menu button at the top left of the page, and click on ‘Apply’
• Tap on ‘Investment’, followed by ‘Share Trading (Cash Account)’, and ‘Apply Now’
• Click on ‘Let’s Start’, and fill out the application form
• Submit the form and pay RM10 to open a Central Depository System (CDS) account
• Upload your salary statement to activate your account

Ultimately, all Maybank customers who apply for Share Trading (Cash Account) will end up with four accounts to facilitate their trading, namely: 

Account	Purpose
Maybank2u Cash Trade Account	For trade settlement
Maybank Share Trading Account	For trade execution on the local exchange
Nominees CDS Account (by Bursa Malaysia)	– Mandatory account that must be opened by every investor who wishes to trade on Bursa Malaysia – Represents ownership and is used to carry out transactions on Bursa Malaysia
