Samsung Malaysia Electronics announced a partnership with one of the country’s largest banking corporations, Maybank, to introduce Maybank customers its first mobile payment service – Samsung Pay. Simple, secure and accepted almost anywhere, Samsung Pay is the only mobile wallet that allows users to pay with their compatible Samsung smartphones at terminals that accept either NFC or MST payments, making shopping and dining more convenient than ever before.

Working closely with Samsung to make mobile payments widely available in the country and to deliver a truly digital wallet to Malaysian consumers, Maybank is the first bank to join the Samsung Pay ecosystem in Malaysia. Maybank is exclusively offering its customers a firsthand experience of unparalleled access, choice and flexibility when it comes to payment. More banks and merchants are expected to join Samsung’s partnership upon the official launch in the coming weeks.

Maybank Group Chief Strategy Officer, Michael Foong said that he was confident this new digital wallet would be adopted by a significant number of the Bank’s cardholders given its user friendly features and acceptability worldwide.
