Maybank’s objective at the time of incorporation was to support the development of the then newly independent Malaya by financing economic growth and bringing modern banking services to its people. Over the years, it played a key role in meeting this objective and expanded both in network as well as products and services. Maybank was in fact one of the key drivers in supporting the country’s economic transformation and setting new benchmarks in financial services for Malaysia.
The next few decades of Maybank’s operations were periods of aggressive expansion and continuous innovation that saw it evolve into a major financial services group, offering a comprehensive range of products to customers as well as supporting Malaysians who ventured abroad for trade and investment through offices in key markets they were in. Along the way, the Group achieved numerous firsts leading the way for the Malaysian banking industry and making Maybank one of the leading Malaysian brands.
Today, Maybank has grown to become the largest company by market capitalisation on Bursa Malaysia and is recognised as one of the region’s leading banking groups. It offers an array of financial services including commercial banking, investment banking, stock broking, insurance and takaful, trustee services, offshore banking, asset management and Islamic banking. Maybank has been recognised through numerous local and international awards for its leadership, innovation, technology and corporate responsibility. It is the leading Malaysian listed company in the Forbes Global 2000 List, as well as top Malaysian bank and 134th amongst global banks in The Banker’s list of top 1,000 banks in the world. Maybank’s Islamic banking subsidiary - Maybank Islamic Berhad - is the largest Islamic commercial bank in Asia Pacific and ranked 17th worldwide.
With over half a century of experience and an ever expanding network, Maybank now has set its sights on becoming a regional financial services leader by 2015. The Group’s mission is to humanise financial services across Asia – reaffirming its commitment to provide the people access to financial services at fair terms and pricing as well as to be at the heart of the community.
As it journeys on to achieve its vision, Maybank will always remain true to its founding objectives – which is to enrich the lives of all its stakeholders and to be a continued channel for economic progress and the growth of communities it serves.
