Maybank Singapore Limited vs Malayan Banking Berhad Singapore Branch
Maybank’s own Singapore notice separates Maybank Singapore Limited from Malayan Banking Berhad, Singapore Branch. This matters for incoming payments because the sender may need the correct bank full name, bank code, SWIFT/BIC and FAST bank description. Retail, personal banking, privilege wealth, premier wealth, private wealth, SME and commercial banking customers are generally shown under Maybank Singapore Limited in the official Maybank notice.
| Maybank Entity | Common Customer Context | Bank Code | SWIFT / BIC | FAST Bank Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maybank Singapore Limited | Retail, wealth, SME and commercial banking | 7302 | MBBESGS2 | Maybank Singapore Limited |
| Malayan Banking Berhad, Singapore Branch | Global Banking, including Global Markets | 9636 | MBBESGSG | Malayan Banking Berhad |
If the beneficiary provided a Maybank account in Singapore, check the exact bank name shown on the account instruction before sending funds. A transfer form that only says “Maybank” may not be specific enough for every payment channel.
