This new features only available on the new Maybank App. Which can be downloaded from Google Play Store and Apple Store.
What is the Difference between Secure Verification, Secure TAC and SMS TAC

According to MyCert, there is 3921 fraud cases reported in Malaysia last year. With the advance of technology and IT, phishing email can sometime look genuine. Once you click the given link, you will not aware that you are in a fake bank website.
Thus Maybank would like to introduce new security upgrades on Maybank2u website and mobile app to ensure online transaction is secure and protect from online threat. The 2 security upgrade will take effect on 4th March 2017.
Maybank2u Login Upgrade
User will be required to validate their security image and phrase upon login to Maybank2u. Before this user only have to check their security image and phrase after entering username.
This will ensure that user are accessing to Maybank’s official website or app and not a FAKE site. Enhanced Maybank2u Login also will protect user online banking transactions with Maybank.
No More Access from Jailbroken and Rooted devices
Today smartphone user prefer to Jailbreak and Root their devices to install third party software or to upgrade their smartphone kernel. Maybank decided not to allow rooted or jailbreak phone to use Maybank apps. Because rooted and jailbreak device are vulnerable to fraudulent attacks.
So if you want to install Maybank App on your jailbreak or rooted smartphone, you have to format it back to factory setting. Or you can login to Maybank2u using internet browser.
Believe it or not, even smart highly educated can be tricked into this phone scam.
The fraudster can be so calm and professional thus make you believe that he is from the bank.
He/She will create an emergency situation regarding your bank account. It can be anything. From to confirm a credit card transaction that was charged to your card. Or someone just called to confirm that you have apply for new credit card. If you deny it, the fraudster will give a fake number of Bank Negara for you to call.
The complice from Bank Negara will ask for your confidential information and bank details.
If you are panic and in a hurry you might fall to this trap. So please be very careful whenever you received a call from a bank.

Nowadays with new online technology and security there are still some of my friend that go to Bank ATM to make payment and money transfer. They still feel insecure about online banking or have a lot of free time.
As for me, Maybank2u is my trusted online banking since living outside Malaysia. Every month I will make money transfer and payment from my Maybank saving account. Although before this I had a problem to receive TAC code.
This is because Maybank do not recognise overseas phone number to send TAC code. So I have to bought a prepaid U Mobile and register with Maybank2u.
Luckily, I can receive TAC Maybank2u code thru sms even using U Mobile prepaid sim card. UMobile using Vodafone Network in Turkey. So every month I need to top up my UMobile prepaid with Maybank2u. I will use the U Mobile credit accumulated when I’m back in Malaysia. Yes, you can use Malaysian telco to receive TAC code as long as your mobile use local network provider when travel to oversea.
