Get sustainable with Maybank Islamic myimpact credit card
If you have always been environmentally conscious, take it an extra step with this brand-new Maybank Islamic myimpact Ikhwan Mastercard Platinum Credit Card-i as for every selected sustainable spending you make, you’ll get rewarded with cashback and TreatsPoint.
Not to mention, this Shariah-compliant credit card comes with the first-ever card features available in Malaysia known as the Carbon Footprint Tracker and Carbon Offset! But how do they work?
Well, based on the spending you make, the carbon tracker will calculate and estimate your carbon emissions using kilograms. After that, you can view and choose to offset them by making financial contributions to participating in regional reforestation initiatives by selected projects.
