As Singapore commemorates 60 years of nationhood, Maybank marks its own six-decade journey with the city-state—a journey defined by trust, transformation, and community commitment.

Since establishing its presence in 1960, Maybank has grown alongside Singapore’s economy, serving generations of individuals and businesses with a people-first approach, deep regional expertise, and long-term vision. Today, as one of Singapore’s Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), Maybank plays a vital role in maintaining financial stability and empowering progress.

Putting People at the Heart of Banking

Maybank’s mission of Humanising Financial Services shapes every customer experience—from its award-winning service culture to proactive digital innovation. Programmes like “Own Your Stripes” empower employees to take personal ownership of service quality, ensuring customers are seen and heard—not just processed.

This people-first mindset also extends to the broader community. Initiatives such as the Maybank Family Fund and Momentum Grant offer financial literacy, matched savings, and catalytic support for charities. The newly launched Community Leaders Roundtable further reflects Maybank’s belief in strengthening social resilience through collaboration.

“Banking should uplift lives—not just manage money,” says Alvin Lee, Maybank Singapore’s CEO.

A Trusted Regional Connector

With strong roots in both Singapore and Malaysia, Maybank plays a strategic role in the Malaysia-Singapore corridor—especially as cross-border economic initiatives like the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone take shape. The bank’s ASEAN-wide network gives clients seamless access to regional opportunities in trade, investment, and wealth management.

Future-Ready: Digital, Sustainable, and Client-Centric

Maybank is investing heavily in digital platforms and sustainability-linked solutions to meet the evolving needs of Singaporean customers and SMEs. The myimpact SME Hub is a one-stop ecosystem offering green financing, business advisory, and access to partners for sustainable growth.

With Singapore emerging as a global wealth hub, Maybank is sharpening its focus on private banking, family offices, and Islamic wealth solutions—helping clients preserve and grow assets across generations.
