Public Bank launches first multilingual mobile banking app

PETALING JAYA: Public Bank Bhd has launched the first multilingual mobile banking app, called PB engage, which offers three languages, namely Bahasa Malaysia, English and Chinese.
It said in a press release last Friday that the new app is designed to provide an engaging, secure and fuss-free banking on the go that allows users to do their banking in their preferred language, including balance enquiries, fund transfers, mobile prepaid top ups and payments.
"With PB engage, Public Bank is confident that we will be able to deliver the most efficient, secure and safe mobile banking experience to our customers," it said, noting the app is a seamless extension of the bank's PBe internet banking.
"PBe customers can just log in to PB engage using their existing PBe user ID and password to instantly enjoy the flexibility and convenience of accessing their financial accounts any time, anywhere," it added.
PB engage features a quick guide to help first time users familiarise with the app's layout and functions and allow users to select from a list of shortcuts for instant access to popular transactions.
Similar to its PBe website, it said PB engage also has a user-friendly interface which utilises colour coded transaction tiles for different functions.
The app can be downloaded free and is currently made available to smartphones and tablets with Apple iOS and Android operating system.
