### 2/5 — An Absolute Horror Show of an App.

*2026-03-30, version 0.9.45*

Maybe it should be called Maybebank, when I love Maybank
So. 

When she works shes a dream, when she fails shes Georgy Soros’s worst nightmare. 

Its like a lot of things in Malaysia, when they work, they’re very very good, but by God, when they don’t, they’re an absolute horror show who’s bureaucratic antics and machinations are liable to the the sanest of men into a psychiatric ward somewhere North of Ipoh, somewhere north of the snail river, The Cape of the Hairy Fruit. 

Maybebank how I love to hate to love you. But it could be worse. After all, there are those of us from the analogue  age who remember the endless queues and sxtended lunchbreaks to pay bills.

So thank God for small mercies, its better than nothing I guess. And like anything Malaysian, this is a country that actually DOES learn from its mistakes and improves politely and gently. 

Just be patient, it takes time but it gets done, eventually.

### 2/5 — Don’t force updates

*2025-05-25, version 0.9.36*

I’m trying to pay at a store and all the sudden you force me to update the app because it’s a week old? Unacceptable!

### 1/5 — Mae

*2024-12-13, version 0.9.32*

Pikir panjang sikit boleh tak lepas ni? Sumpah menyusahkan orang

### 1/5 — Fix your app.

*2024-11-30, version 0.9.31*

Fix your app. I’m in a different country and I can’t access the nearest ATM. Let your customers verify through OTP at least. Fix your app. I swear. Fix your app. This is the first time in my life I’m writing a review for an app. Fix your app. I’ve never had an emotional outburst towards an app before. Fix your app. Don’t send notifs about cashback offers, fix your app.

### 1/5 — Very So slow apps for otp

*2024-08-03, version 0.9.26*

Hi , Request otp 1 time cannot receive. And wait against next again not receiving and again wait request! Very slow stupid apps ever!!! Lousy

### 2/5 — Unable To send or take my own money online.

*2024-07-19, version 0.9.26*

I tried To transfer money from Maybank To my overseas account , it wont let me . 
I use my Maybank card in the shop several times even i use pin , still wont let me , so embarrasing for me .

### 2/5 — Unable to login

*2024-07-07*

I cannot write password longer than 12 characters so I am not able to link another account. Why limit password to 12 characters?

### 1/5 — A little than CIMB Clicks

*2024-05-20, version 0.9.25*

I was denied access to the website despite using the same password as the app, leading to the frustrating need to reset my password repeatedly. 

Additionally, the system requires a password every time I want to access features such as paying bills or reloading.

Moreover, I cannot transfer money until I set up Secure2u, which necessitated a trip to the ATM.

This is far from user-friendly! Please improve your backend security system to prevent identity theft and online fraud, rather than relying solely on excessive authentication screens as a frontline defense. Constantly resetting passwords and navigating through multiple authentication steps just to access basic features is frustrating. This approach not only diminishes user experience but also raises concerns about the overall security of the platform. Implementing more robust backend security measures would enhance user satisfaction while providing better protection against identity theft and online fraud, creating a safer and more user-friendly environment for your customers.

### 2/5 — please update

*2024-03-27, version 0.9.24*

boleh tolong tak kat bahagian reset password. untuk masukkan no fone, kami yg ade masalah ni ade option untuk tukar contry code. Penat lah camni. dah ade email, ic bagi pun tak guna kalau contry code tu takleh tukar. Kami dah link kan no international tapi takleh nak tukar contry code ke internasional.

### 1/5 — Poor user experience

*2024-03-06, version 0.9.24*

This app never works properly. It requires me to put in an OTP but i never receive it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-11-28, version 0.9.21*

Trash. Made everything so complicated

### 1/5 — Never works as it should

### 1/5 — Barely functional at times

*2025-11-17, version 0.9.40*

The app is great at pushing ads, but when it comes to secure2u function it almost never successfully prompt the approval page. This hiccup happens over and over again and caused many awkward inconveniences when making payment.

### 1/5 — Account show locked when trying to log in after MAE app update

*2025-11-14, version 0.9.40*

Tried to use the app, prompted to update and after the update, app shows message that account is logged due to ‘multiple log ins’. Same problem when then trying to login to online banking. Forced to reset password and because their app doesn’t work for the authentication, this then requires getting a pin by physically going to the bank ATM. Absolutely too burdensome to force customer reset passwords so frequently. App support link here on store does not actually work, just goes to a page saying their server cannot process. If a bank requires customer to use their app for authentication, the technology should at least be working and not lock the customer out or require customer to change new passwords multiple times a year.

### 1/5 — Jijik

### 1/5 — Buggy apps - bad experience

*2025-06-07, version 0.9.36*

The apps will be closed directly if user selected to upload document for credit card application and leave user with no record to continue the application, so what? User only allowed to take photo? Didn’t even go through a proper test before going online, disgusting experience, please attend physical to their counter for service, never use this apps please
