Maybank Joins Fundraising for NSTP Fund for Gaza

Maybank today offered the use of its network and electronic delivery channels to help raise funds for the NSTP Fund for Gaza.

Members of the public who wish to contribute to the Fund can do so at any of the bank's branches nationwide, through M2U (www.maybank2u.com), KawanKu phone banking, cash/cheque deposit achines or the more than 2,700 KawanKu ATMs nationwide. The Maybank account number for the NSTP Fund for Gaza is A/C:

514105-320501.

Maybank President and CEO Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid Omar said, "We are pleased to once again work with the NSTP Group and offer our banking channels for a humanitarian cause. It is our expression of concern and corporate responsibility to play our part in supporting this appeal. Our banking channels provide a convenient means for members of the public to join in the fund raising efforts."

In addition to this, Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid said Maybank has also launched an internal donation drive amongst its employees in Malaysia to collect funds for the NST Fund for Gaza. All Maybank employees and their families have been encouraged to contribute voluntarily for this worthy cause.

"This drive is under our employee volunteerism initiative "Cahaya Kasih", where employees are encouraged to demonstrate the Group's core values of teamwork and relationship building by reaching out to communities in need," he said.

Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid added that Maybank has over the years, offered its branch network and electronic channels to support a number of public fund raising efforts for either charity or humanitarian needs, leveraging on its wide network reach and customer base. These include fund raising for the victims of the tsunami tragedy as well as the earthquakes in Iran and Sumatra.
