PETALING JAYA: Samsung Malaysia Electronics Sdn Bhd and Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) have partnered up through the signing of a collaboration agreement, marking a major milestone in Malaysia’s digital payments landscape with the introduction of the country’s first Samsung Wallet QR Payment experience.
The collaboration combines Samsung’s mobile innovation with Maybank’s leading digital banking ecosystem to deliver a faster, seamless way for Samsung Galaxy users to make everyday payments. Eligible Samsung Galaxy users are now able to access Maybank’s MAE Scan & Pay function natively within Samsung Wallet.
As Malaysia continues to accelerate towards a cashless economy, the partnership underscores both companies’ shared commitment to driving exceptional experiences and digital payment adoption to make everyday transactions simpler, more secure and more convenient for millions of customers across both urban and suburban communities.
“At Samsung, our vision for Samsung Wallet has always been to go beyond a digital wallet and become an intelligent everyday companion that simplifies life for our users,” said Samsung president Charles Kim.
He added that their partnership with Maybank represents a significant step forward in expanding the Samsung Wallet ecosystem in Malaysia. “By bringing QR payments directly into Samsung Wallet, we’re making everyday transactions even more effortless, allowing users to simply swipe, scan and pay within seconds.”
Maybank Group chief digital officer Kalyani Nair said the bank, guided by its ROAR30 ambitions, continues to focus on delivering intuitive and exceptional digital experiences, with an emphasis on creating frictionless payment journeys that integrate naturally into customers’ everyday lives and transactions.
“By integrating Maybank’s MAE Scan & Pay functionality directly into Samsung Wallet, we are bringing greater convenience to customers while maintaining the security and reliability they expect from Maybank. This collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing digital innovation through strategic ecosystem partnerships that make everyday banking simpler, faster and more accessible,” she added.
Through Samsung Wallet, users can launch QR Payment with a swipe, access Maybank’s Scan & Pay via MAE App to complete QR transactions securely not just locally in Malaysia, but also regionally across Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia. The native integration eliminates unnecessary steps, delivering a faster payment experience whether purchasing meals, groceries, coffee or other everyday essentials.
Users can earn Samsung Reward points with every transaction, which can be used to purchase Samsung products and claim vouchers available on the Samsung members application.
The collaboration strengthens Samsung Wallet’s position as a comprehensive digital platform, complementing its existing capabilities while enhancing the value it delivers to Samsung Galaxy users.
The Samsung Wallet QR Payment experience is the first of its kind for Samsung in Malaysia and represents another milestone in the company’s continued investment in expanding Samsung Wallet’s capabilities. By combining Samsung’s mobile ecosystem with Maybank’s trusted digital banking platform, both companies aim to empower millions of customers with smarter, faster and more convenient payment experiences.
The Samsung Wallet QR Payment is available on eligible Samsung Galaxy smartphones through the latest Samsung Wallet and software update.
