KUCHING: Maybank today announced that it is offering flood relief assistance to ease the financial burden of its individual and small and medium enterprise (SME) or corporate customers who are affected by the floods in several states in the country.
This assistance is designed to address the challenges the flood victims are facing and will include, amongst others, deferment of financing or loan payment, a reduction in monthly instalment or extension of repayment tenure.
For convenience, customers can apply for the Flood Relief Assistance via two easy channels: email to floodrelief@maybank.com providing name or company name, IC number or Business Registration, contact number, type of loan or product (for example, mortgage, hire purchase, term loan financing) and vehicle number (for hire purchase) or visit or call any of its branches, SME Centres, Business Banking Centres or Auto Finance Centres (whichever is relevant) nationwide.
All applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
In addition, the bank is also offering waiver of fees and charges for selected services, such as replacement of debit card, ATM cards or cheque books lost or damaged during the floods. It will also provide waiver for late charges for credit cards.
Etiqa, Maybank Group’s insurance arm, has also put in place a hassle-free and expeditious claim process for its insurance policyholders and takaful certificate holders, with no forms or supporting documents required.
