You can now use Maybank cards with Google Pay: Here’s how


Maybank customers can now add their Visa and Mastercard-branded credit and debit cards to the Google Wallet app on their Android devices. This would allow them to make payments using their device via Google Pay’s contactless payment feature.

What’s the difference between Google Pay and Google Wallet?

Before we move on, let’s discuss two factors that may have confused some users out there when it comes to performing contactless payments with Android devices: Google Pay and Google Wallet.  

Google Pay is essentially Google’s payment service. It has existed in Malaysia for quite some time for in-app payment and e-commerce sites but its contactless payment feature was only made available in our market in November 2022.

On the other hand, Google Wallet is the app where you store the details of your payment cards as well as other passes including boarding passes, loyalty cards, transit passes, and digital keys. So, when you tap your device to make a payment, Google Pay essentially receives the details of your payment cards from the Google Wallet app.

Here’s the list of Maybank Visa and Mastercard cards that support Google Pay

Adding a Maybank card to the Google Wallet app is a straightforward affair

Google Pay / Google Wallet

Before you can start making contactless payments on your NFC-enabled Android devices using your Maybank credit or debit cards, you must first add them to the Google Wallet. You can do this in two manners with one being the direct onboarding on the Google Wallet.

For this particular method, open up the Google Wallet app on your Android device and then tap the Add a Card or Add to Wallet button on the app’s home page.

Choose Payment card and then + New credit or debit card. You can either use the camera function to capture the details of your Maybank card in the app or enter the details manually.

After that, you would be asked to fill in the billing address and you can then tap Save and continue once you are done. The card’s terms and conditions should come out after that.

Once you press Accept, you will have to go through a security check to verify your details. This is being done either through Secure2u, OTP code, or direct call-in to Maybank.

Your card should now be ready for Google Pay after you complete the security check. To add more Maybank cards to the Google Wallet app, just repeat the steps that we have mentioned above.

You can also add a Maybank card to Google Wallet via MAE app

Once you are inside the app, tap on the View All Accounts option on the home screen and then choose the Cards sections. Tap on the card that you wish to enable Google Pay support and then tap the Add to G Pay on the bottom of your screen.
