Kuala Lumpur, 24 July 2026 — Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) Sdn Bhd (Samsung) and Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) have entered into a strategic partnership to introduce Malaysia’s first Samsung Wallet QR Payment experience, marking a significant development in the country’s digital payments landscape.
The collaboration, formalised through the signing of a Collaboration Agreement, combines Samsung’s mobile innovation with Maybank’s established digital banking ecosystem to provide Samsung Galaxy users with a faster, more seamless way to make everyday payments. Beginning 21 July 2026, eligible Samsung Galaxy users will be able to access Maybank’s MAE Scan & Pay functionality directly within Samsung Wallet through the latest application and software updates.
As Malaysia continues its transition towards a cashless economy, the partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to making digital payments simpler, more secure and convenient for customers across urban and suburban communities. With QR Payment integrated directly into Samsung Wallet, users can quickly access the feature with a swipe before using Maybank’s Scan & Pay via the MAE app to complete their transactions.
The integrated experience is designed to reduce unnecessary steps when making payments, whether users are purchasing meals, groceries, coffee or other everyday essentials. The QR payment functionality can also be used regionally across Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia, providing greater convenience for Samsung Galaxy users when making payments beyond Malaysia.
President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics, Charles Kim, said the partnership with Maybank represents an important step in expanding the Samsung Wallet ecosystem in Malaysia. He added that integrating QR payments directly into Samsung Wallet is intended to make everyday transactions more effortless, allowing users to swipe, scan and pay within seconds.
Meanwhile, Mohd Amri Mohd Sofian, Head of Community Financial Services Malaysia at Maybank, said the collaboration supports the Bank’s ROAR30 ambitions by focusing on intuitive digital experiences and frictionless payment journeys. Integrating MAE Scan & Pay directly into Samsung Wallet, he said, provides customers with greater convenience while maintaining the security and reliability associated with Maybank’s digital banking services.
Beyond convenience, users can also earn Samsung Reward Points with every eligible transaction. These points can subsequently be used to purchase Samsung products or redeem vouchers available through the Samsung Members application, adding further value to everyday payments.
As part of the partnership, Samsung and Maybank are also offering exclusive rewards worth up to RM500,000 through a limited-time promotional campaign running from 28 July to 30 October 2026. Eligible customers will receive RM5 after successfully connecting and activating QR Payment on Samsung Wallet, with the opportunity to enjoy up to RM15 in cashback or vouchers when they make qualifying purchases.
The launch represents another milestone in Samsung’s efforts to expand Samsung Wallet beyond its existing capabilities and strengthen its role as a comprehensive digital platform for Galaxy users. By bringing together Samsung’s mobile ecosystem and Maybank’s digital banking infrastructure, the partnership aims to provide millions of customers with a more connected, convenient and efficient payment experience.
