Maybank’s ‘Kill Switch’ solution adds card blocking security feature in case of compromise


Customers can only reactivate the card by verifying themselves at the nearest Maybank branch or through the customer service hotline at 1300 88 6688. The company said this measure will prevent scammers or any unauthorised parties from further performing any transactions with their cards. 一AZMAN GHANI/The Star

Maybank has announced a new add-on function to its Kill Switch feature, allowing customers to temporarily block the usage of their credit and charge cards if they suspect that their cards have been compromised.

The company said the new additional feature can be activated via the Maybank2u website or Mae app. Once the feature has been activated, all outgoing transactions on the blocked card will not be processed.
