Maybank2u and MAE Now Requires Secure2u

According to a recent announcement by Maybank, any changes made to the settings on Maybank2u, and subsequently MAE, will require the use of the Secure2u validation process before it gets applied.

The reason for it is said to be additional security measures to ensure a “safer and convenient way to approve updates or changes made” on their online banking platform and mobile app. Features that will require Secure2u includes Interbank Fund Transfer, Interbank GIRO, cardless withdrawal, adding a new favourite account for transactions, and more.

For those of you who aren’t aware, Secure2u was introduced as another validation method aside from the usual SMS TAC method, which has since been discontinued. Typically, it’s used to approve transactions on Maybank2u and the MAE app.

If you have yet to activate Secure2u, you can do so via the MAE app by selecting “More” on the bottom-right corner, followed by “Secure2u” and “Activate Now”. From there, simply follow the instructions given and you’ll be ready to go in mere minutes.
