This Bank’s Upgraded Mobile App Comes with New Security Features
More features come with the relaunch of the mobile app, which was first introduced in 2014.
One of the pioneers of mobile banking in the country, Maybank Philippines, a member of the Maybank Group, has unveiled an upgraded version of its Maybank2U PH (M2U) mobile app. The upgraded app is available for both iOS and Android.
A launch event for the app was held at the Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater. The event had more than 500 guests, which included key business partners and valued clients. Stakeholders from the Embassy of Malaysia, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and the Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industries Philippines were also present.
“At Maybank, we strive to humanize financial services by making banking as secure and easy to use as possible,” Maybank Philippines Chairman of the Board Anthony Brent Elam said in his keynote message. “Our new M2U mobile app is a milestone in achieving these goals by enhancing customer convenience within a secure environment available 24/7 worldwide.”
“We’ve listened closely to our customers’ feedback and concerns in developing a new app that fits our customers’ lifestyle and expectations for convenience, security, ease of use and innovation,” Elam added. “The new M2U mobile app is part of our broader mission to put you, our valued customers, at the center of everything we do.”
Upgrades That Come with the New M2U App
Amidst growing data privacy concerns, app security is a crucial feature that users look for in mobile banking apps. Showing how the bank prioritizes its clients’ security, Maybank’s upgraded M2U app comes with Secure2U.
Secure2U is an enhanced two-factor authentication option that allows real-time, in-app verification to ensure security from fraud. It likewise allows real-time, in-app authorization, which is limited only to the nominated device.
In addition to this, the M2U app has a redesigned, more intuitive user interface for a more convenient mobile banking experience. It also comes with in-app tools that seek to help manage the user’s finances better. Icons, in particular, can be customized by the user to fit their lifestyle and banking needs.
Why was the App Upgraded?
According to Maybank Philippines OIC-President and CEO Patrick Dennis L. Solosa, the upgraded M2U app is a testament to Maybank’s commitment to providing convenience, security, and innovation at their clients’ fingertips.
“We have reimagined the app with enhanced features, stronger account security protection, a more intuitive interface, and cutting-edge technology to make digital banking simpler, faster, safer and more seamless than ever before,” he said.”
