Do I need to apply for the RegionLink - Online Funds Transfer (Malaysia & Philippines) service?

5. Are the funds transfers effected immediately?

Funds transfers made to Maybank Malaysia before 4 pm or to Maybank Philippines before 2 pm (Singapore time) on any business day that falls on Mondays to Fridays, will be effected on the same business day. If the transaction falls on a Malaysian or a Philippines public holiday, it will be effected on the next business day in the respective countries.

For funds transfers made after the cut-off time as stated above (4 pm for Malaysia and 2 pm for Philippines) on a business day on Mondays to Fridays, or on Saturdays and Sundays, the transfers will be deemed as the next business day's transactions.

Note: For funds transfers made to other banks in Philippines, it is not within the means of Maybank to advise on when funds will be credited to the payee's account.

No. You cannot schedule funds transfers to payee accounts in Malaysia and Philippines in advance.

8. What is "Update Payee Account List"?
  When you transfer funds through our Online Funds Transfer (Malaysia & Philippines) service, you need to key in the details of the payee account such as the payee name and the account number.

Update Payee Account List allows you to register your favourite payee accounts in Malaysia and Philippines to which you transfer funds regularly. So you no longer have to key in the account information each time you make a funds transfer.

  • Pending - Transaction is pending confirmation from Maybank Branches in Malaysia or Philippines
  • Successful - Funds transfer has been successfully credited to the payee account
  • Unsuccessful - Funds transfer has been rejected. Please verify the details of the payee account and perform the transaction again
14. What happens if I transferred funds to the wrong payee account?
  We request customers to exercise prudence in conducting funds transfers as recovery would be difficult once the transactions are confirmed. The Bank can only assist in the recovery, but it would not be able to influence the outcome of the funds that have been wrongly transferred to a third party's account.
