If you're looking for a convenient and secure way to pay for your everyday expenses, check out MBSB Bank's e-wallet :D

MBSB Bank is an Islamic banking entity in Malaysia, and in 2019, they developed the first-ever Shariah-compliant e-wallet. This means that the e-wallet will only be accepted at Shariah-compliant merchants, and can only make Shariah-compliant transactions and purchases. Put simply, you can rest assured and go cashless each time you're out and about. 

Plus, MBSB Bank's e-wallet is easy to set up and use. It also boasts various security features, so you can have peace of mind every time you spend.

As your everyday e-wallet, the MBSB Bank e-wallet has a daily transaction limit of up to RM200, and can only carry a maximum balance of RM1,000

In other words, you can make as many transactions as you want, but each transaction cannot exceed RM200. This allows you to budget and monitor your daily expenses accordingly, ensuring you don't impulse buy or overspend. Isn't it helpful?

Aside from seamless payments at merchants by scanning the QR code, the e-wallet also allows for airtime reload, bill payments, and secure top-ups through bank transfers

And you can rest assured that each transaction is secure and protected. Every payment will require you to key in your six-digit transaction PIN, while sensitive data such as passwords or transaction information will be transmitted on public networks through secured protocols like Secure Socket Layers (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

Besides that, the e-wallet's access to banking services is protected by a secured login procedure. It will always require a username and password.

The best part? It's so easy to set up the e-wallet. Here's how:
