FAQ- Privacy & Security Information

At Maybank, we are committed to protecting our customers' information by employing the most secured encryption technology (128-bit Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) to safeguard all your information and transactions transmitted over the Internet.

SSL encryption will scramble all data between Maybank and your PC using a security key. Only Maybank has this key to reassemble back the data. Any other party trying to break this key will be faced with 200 trillion possible combinations.

In addition to SSL encryption, we also authenticate your unique Access ID and PIN upon logon. Both are needed together for access to your account information.
