Malaysia’s first NFC Mobile Wallet will be discontinued on July 20

Before Samsung Pay was available in Malaysia, Maybank had introduced MaybankPay in 2016 which enables you to make contactless payments with your smartphone. According to a notice by Maybank, the MaybankPay service will be discontinued effective July 20, 2020. The app will also be removed from the Google Play Store. Maybank recommends that you switch to QR Pay which uses the Maybank2U app. If you’re not a Maybank customer, you can always create a MAE eWallet account.
