For Malaysians, few things can give a more potent dopamine boost than a shopping spree. That being said, a lot of trouble can take place in just one day of shopping. Hauling around lots of cash and having little self-control to go with it can cause shoppers endless headaches! ?
But worry not, fellow Malaysians, because Maybank has come to the rescue of shopping enthusiasts everywhere with their MAE by Maybank2u app!
Familiar with the M2U app? The MAE app has everything the M2U app has and more! You can find your favourite features such as pay bills, transfer, view account balance, order food via Sama-Sama Lokal, track your Expenses, and more.
Don’t want to carry cash and coins? Just Scan, Pay & Drive It Away with the MAE app!
The best part of the MAE app: you can go completely cashless using Scan & Pay with MAE and skip the trouble of lugging around cash and coins!
This cashless feature on the MAE app allows users to pay via any DuitNow QR codes. Just Scan & Pay wherever you shop; either in-store, online, or even when you want to pay back your buddies!
Here’s how you can Scan & Pay with the MAE app:
- Launch your MAE app and tap on the yellow QR Code button at the bottom of the navigation bar.
- Scan the merchant’s QR code or allow the merchant to scan your QR code!
Another cool part about Scan & Pay is that it is available at more than 350,000 merchants nationwide (and counting)!
And to sweeten the pot this time around, the MAE app is offering users a chance to win a Proton X50 every month! Sounds too good to be true, right? But it is true!
Until 16 September 2022, MAE app users can win THREE Proton X50’s (one for each month) throughout the campaign period!
Just download the app, sign up, and Scan & Pay while you shop with MAE! You’ll even have unlimited chances and require no minimum spend as long as you shop at one of their participating merchants! But the cool deals don’t end there.
The MAE app has so much to offer; here’s how its features can solve all of your shopping troubles and MORE!:
1. Want an app that gives the best cashback? Then MAE has your back!
The awesome deals keep coming and won’t stop, as MAE users can also enjoy cashbacks of up to RM3 for three times a month. “But what’s the catch?”, you might be asking. Well, the only catch here is you just need to spend a minimum of RM20 per transaction at any participating merchant!
2. Having trouble tracking your spending? Use MAE’s Expenses!
If you’re going on a rather extensive shopping trip, then trying to keep tabs on your expenses can be quite a hassle. And don’t even get us started on the money spent NOT doing shopping like parking, food, phone credit top-ups, and who knows what else!
But how does the Expenses function work? Here are the ways it can help!:
- Automated expense tracker – Record your spending automatically, from credit/debit card transactions or online transfers.
- Categorise & simplify your spending – Uses easy-to-read graphs and clear categorisation to better understand your spending patterns
- Add cash transactions to your tracker – You can key in cash transactions manually to record your expenses more accurately
So it’s time to do away with your bulky budget spreadsheets and make saving easier with the MAE app!
3. Guilty Pleasures are weighing you down? Save with Tabung and let it cover for you!
Don’t trust yourself with your own money when you shop? Got a few overspending habits you need to curb? Then let Tabung help you regain control of your expenses while you shop with their Guilty Pleasure Booster!
This is how you can use the Guilty Pleasure Booster:
- Set up a Tabung in the MAE app and activate your Guilty Pleasure Booster.
- Set your spending limit in a particular category (e.g. Shopping) and the amount you want transferred to your Tabung if you exceed that limit.
- If your spending in that category exceeds your limit, your set amount of money will be transferred into your Tabung.
- If you spend even more in that category, the MAE app will transfer more money into your Tabung with each transaction.
Do note that your categorical daily spending limit can be customised and turned on or off at any point according to your preference, so you won’t be stuck with the Booster if you really need to spend money.
The MAE app makes sure that you can shop guilt-free, and the Guilty Pleasure Booster is a great way to help shoppers change their overspending habits for the better! Wanna try shopping while “punishing” yourself on your own terms? Then consider yourself guilty as charged!
