The main highlight? You can stand to win monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual prizes when you invest and maintain a minimum Month End Balance (MEB) of just RM200! In other words, different kinds of awesome prizes await you all year long.

Aside from the fabulous prizes, you'll also get to earn profit based on the profit sharing ratio with Maybank Islamic

To be eligible to earn potential profits, all you need to do is invest a minimum of RM50 when you open your Zest-i account.

The profit earned will be based on Maybank Islamic's indicative profit rate which will be revised every 16th of the month. The indicative profit rate from now until 15 February 2023 is 0.05% per annum*.

Another great thing about the Zest-i account is that you can use the MAE app, M2U app, or Maybank2u website to manage your account easily. Need to withdraw your money urgently? Just head over to any Maybank ATM or international ATM to withdraw it anytime.

*Terms and conditions apply. Profit rates quoted are accurate at the time of writing. All rates are subject to change without prior notice. Kindly refer to the Maybank2u website or contact your nearest Maybank branch for the latest rates.

The best part? Applying for a Zest-i account is as easy as ABC. New customers can easily apply via the MAE app. Here's how:

STEP 1: Download or launch the MAE app
STEP 2: Go to 'More' then tap 'Apply'
STEP 3: Under 'Accounts', select 'Zest-i'
STEP 4: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your application

Do note that you will need to scan your MyKad during the application process, so make sure you have it with you beforehand. For verification purposes and to activate your Zest-i account, you must transfer money from another bank account registered under your name.
