Speaking at the event, B. Ravintharan said, "The CASA Balance Transfer and Rewards & Bonus are 2 campaigns which were conceptualized with our customers in mind. With the objectives instilling good saving habits and spending prudence among Malaysians which are fundamental for good financial planning, we designed a hassle-free, "no forms required" contest-driven campaign.

"The campaign provided both new and existing account holders the opportunity to win fantastic prizes with every RM1,000 as they stand a chance to win every time they've deposited into either their Maybank Savings or Current accounts, for both Conventional and Islamic variants," he added.

Over 1.96 million customers were eligible to be considered for the two contests during the campaign period.
