For this post, I will be sharing on my Maybank eFixed Deposit uplifting experience. It’s a continuation of my previous post on Maybank eFixed Deposit placement.

My experience of uplifting Maybank eFixed Deposit

So, It has been 30 days since my first Maybank eFixed Deposit placement.

Today, I decided to uplift my first eFixed Deposit just to see and to experience the uplifting process before I make more online fixed deposit placement.

And I am happy to say, my Maybank eFixed Deposit uplifting has been a smooth one.

In addition, the whole uplifting process is really easy and simple.

Just make sure you register or update your mobile number for the PAC before you continue with your online transactions.

This is an important step.

Because you can’t continue your online transaction without the PAC. It’s for security issue and never, never ever reveal your PAC to anyone.

Delete it from your mobile right after you completed your online transaction.

Also, noticed that Maybank2u has updated its banking portal. I remember I read from online news about a week ago that Maybank is halfway launching its new banking portal.

Well, the new portal is more organized and has a cool look.

Just that for today’s visit, I faced 2 problems:

1. I can’t differentiate between “Classic M2U: Click here to login” and the normal login. Based on my testing, I can log in through both portals. I didn’t see the differences.
2. I can’t find the eFixed Deposit rate when I was at the eFixed Deposit placement and uplifting page.

Anyway, I managed to find it after I logged out. It’s located at “Home > Accounts & Banking > Fixed Deposits > eFixed Deposit “.

Actually, you need to click the ‘find out more’ to see the rates. Perhaps I need more time to get familiar with the new portal.
