Maybank To Empower SMEs Through Bookkeeping & E-Invoicing Automation

Maybank, a committed partner to two-thirds of Malaysia’s 1.2 million SMEs, has taken a significant step forward in empowering them by automating bookkeeping. This innovative solution frees them to focus on their core business and allows for a more efficient way of managing their finances, seamlessly connected to the growing Maybank business ecosystem. 

As part of the Maybank myimpact SME ecosystem, this initiative provides a holistic approach, offering personalized solutions for their business. Consultancy and advisory services will be delivered through expert industry partners, with access to their expertise through complimentary online tools on Maybank’s platform. The bank is also assisting with the e-invoicing process to further streamline operations and achieve its goal of disbursing RM18 billion in SME financing this year.

Syed Ahmad Taufik Albar, Maybank Group CEO of Community Financial Services said, “This initiative exemplifies Maybank’s commitment to Humanising Financial Services by offering values-based solutions that go beyond banking. With nearly 800,000 of Malaysian SMEs choosing Maybank when it comes to products and services, we want to empower them with the innovative tools to thrive in today’s evolving digital landscape.”

This initiative aligns with Maybank’s M25+ strategic thrust to intensify customer-centricity and accelerating digitalisation by leveraging on next-gen technologies and analytics for seamless and transparent solutions. It also strengthens the myimpact SME values of growth, sustainability, and innovation.
