   You will receive notifications when you have successfully performed ATM withdrawals both locally and overseas above the default cumulative threshold amount (S$500 or equivalent) or any amount set by you on your ATM/Debit/Credit card (linked to a Current/Savings Account). The withdrawal amount as stated in the SMS will be based on the total amount withdrawn on the same day. This will include withdrawals performed on Maybank ATMs (Singapore and overseas), atm⁵ – Shared ATM Network and overseas cash withdrawal via MasterCard Cirrus or Visa Plus network from your savings or current account. Please note that this service does not include Cash Advance and EPINS Cash out transactions.

   Example:
   Let’s assume that you have not changed the threshold amount of S$500. The ATM Cash Withdrawal notification will not be triggered to your phone upon your first withdrawal of S$300 (or equivalent). Only after your next withdrawal of S$300 (or equivalent), you will then receive the notification based on the total amount withdrawn on the same day. The format of the SMS is indicated below:

   Maybank SG: You’ve made ATM withdrawals of total S$600.00 (or equivalent) from your Card ending [last 4 digit of card no.] on DD/MM/YYYY. For enquiries, call (65) 6533 5229.
