Maybank has launched a limited-time campaign to celebrate the fifth anniversary of its MAE app, offering customers 5% per annum returns on eligible transfers made into their MAE Wallets. The campaign runs from 30 October 2025 to 31 January 2026 and is open to all new and existing Maybank customers who meet the participation criteria.

Earn 5% P.A. On Eligible Transfers

Under the “MAE Turns 5” campaign, customers can earn returns of 5% per annum on funds transferred from other banks or e-wallets into their MAE Wallets. To qualify, the transfer must include the phrase “MAETurns5” in the Recipient Reference field during the transaction.

The campaign is divided into several key phases. The eligible transfer period runs from 30 October to 30 November 2025, while the earning period extends until 31 January 2026. Returns are calculated daily and credited to the customer’s MAE Wallet in the month following the earning period.

How To Participate

To qualify for the campaign, participants must transfer at least RM200 from an external bank account or e-wallet into their MAE Wallet. Transfers between Maybank accounts are not eligible. The maximum qualifying transfer amount depends on the type of MAE Wallet a customer holds. Wallets without a MAE Visa Debit Card have a maximum balance limit of RM4,999.99, while those with a MAE Visa Debit Card can hold up to RM10,000.

Each participant can perform up to three qualifying transfers during the campaign period. Daily returns will continue to accrue as long as the wallet balance remains equal to or higher than the transferred amount. Returns are calculated until 31 January 2026.

Example Of Returns Calculation

A customer who transfers RM5,000 into their MAE Wallet and maintains that balance for 60 days could earn approximately RM41.10 in campaign returns. To earn the maximum possible return, a customer with a MAE Visa Debit Card who deposits RM10,000 on 30 October 2025 and maintains that balance until 31 January 2026 would earn about RM128 over the campaign duration.

Multiple Transfers Allowed

Participants may make up to three separate transfers during the campaign to maximise their total returns. Each transfer is treated as a separate eligible balance. Returns will continue to be calculated daily for each qualifying transfer, provided that the wallet balance is maintained at or above the total eligible amount. If the balance drops below the transferred amount due to spending or withdrawal, returns will temporarily stop and resume once the balance is topped up to the required level.

When Returns Are Paid

Campaign returns are credited to the MAE Wallet on a monthly basis. Returns earned between 30 October and 30 November 2025 will be paid in December 2025. Returns for December 2025 will be credited in January 2026, and those for January 2026 will be credited in February 2026. Users can view their credited returns through the Transaction History section in the MAE app.

Other Campaign Details

The campaign is open to individuals aged 18 and above who have an active Maybank2u or MAE account. Participants under 18 may join with the consent of a parent or guardian. Employees directly involved in organising the campaign are not eligible.

The campaign operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with a total cap of RM283 million in eligible transfers. Once the cap is reached, new transfers will no longer qualify for the 5% return.
