Maybank Singapore prevents loss of S$1.16m across 17 cases

One case sees a service manager prevent a S$37,000 scam.

Maybank Singapore, with help from the Singapore Police Force, revealed that it has prevented the loss of over S$1.16m across 17 cases between March 2023 and March 2024, the bank revealed.

In one case, Maybank Jurong Point branch service manager Brenda Tan prevented a customer from being scammed S$37,000, the bank said in a press release.

The customer was nearly scammed from text messages supposedly from her husband. Tan made the decision to escalate the case to Maybank’s Digital Banking Fraud Team. This then helped prevent the customer from losing their savings, Maybank said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
