How are you faring in the game of personal finance? If you are struggling, fret not, you are not alone. The majority of Malaysians do not have any savings<\/a> to help them in the event of a job loss.<\/p>\n

A study revealed that only 6% of Malaysians have savings to last them six months.\u00a0House prices are simply out of reach<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0not forgetting: most are grossly under-insured<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what if, instead of viewing your challenges as a drag, you approach it as a game? The kind of game we are talking about is a pursuit of smart decisions and rewards.<\/p>\n

The #WOWMaybank Campaign is a fun way to get some perks that could give you a heads up if you are looking to upgrade your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The campaign also helps you optimise every ringgit you earn by encouraging you to consolidate your credit card balances to a Maybank Card. This helps manage your cash flow or enrolling your charge\/credit card to auto pay bills so you don\u2019t have to miss paying a bill that can result to charges. Best of all: you earn points which entitle you to further rewards.<\/p>\n

Getting on this is simple, simply visit the #WOWMaybank Campaign page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
