This is in line with BNM's new 5 key measures to fight financial scams in 🇲🇾 Maybank TechNave
has pledged its commitment to the call and will fully replace OTP via SMS with its Secure2u authentication system by June 2023.
In a statement today, Maybank said that the move was in line with BNM’s new measures to heighten online banking security in Malaysia. Maybank further asserted that currently, it only allows one Secure2u device per account holder to minimise the possibility of a customer’s online banking details being compromised or used by any third party.
Furthermore, Maybank also alerts a customer via SMS, push notification and e-mail when Secure2u is registered on a new device. This measure is an added security measure implemented by Maybank to ensure customer account security. Previously, Maybank also increased security measures for Secure2u activations, whereby it will only be available via the MAE app. Starting this October, customers can no longer activate Secure2u via the M2U My app.
