Maybank partners with MOTAC for MM2H programme initiative

KUALA LUMPUR: Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) is the first among a select group of banks in Malaysia to partner with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) for the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.

In a statement, Maybank said its wealth management arm, Maybank Premier, will offer a range of solutions tailored to successful MM2H applicants, supporting national efforts to attract global talent and long-term foreign residents.

The MM2H programme offers long-term visas that can be renewed every five to 20 years. It is aimed at retirees, professionals, and global investors. The latest framework include three categories — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — with extra benefits for those who invest in Malaysia’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Special Financial Zones (SFZs).

Maybank is launching a series of international roadshows and activities as part of this landmark collaboration, starting with a recent event at MSpace@ Maybank Tower in Singapore.

Following the event in Singapore, Maybank and MOTAC will continue to host MM2H-focused roadshows across key regional markets.

The bank is also providing a package for successful MM2H applicants that includes preferential rates, low fixed charges on unit trust investments, automatic Premier banking status, comprehensive financial advisory services, and more.

Maybank president and group CEO Datuk Khairussaleh Ramli said the strategic collaboration underscored Maybank’s commitment to supporting Malaysia’s economic goals by positioning the country as a top destination for global investors and long-term residents.

“As a banking partner for MM2H, we are proud to offer a holistic financial ecosystem that not only meets the sophisticated needs of international clients, but also reinforces Malaysia’s appeal as a vibrant, forward-looking nation.”
