You will have access to both an overdraft for excess funds for emergencies, and also a cheque book, to make payments easier and faster.
What are the benefits of this account?
Other than ATM withdrawal, Kawanku phone banking, and online banking, there are perks here that are rarely seen for current accounts.
First of all, the Maybank Premier 1 account was definitely made with the traveler in mind, as you will have a special 25% discount on commission when signing off a Traveller's Cheque worth more than RM2,000.
