KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 — Maybank will revise upwards its standardised base rate (SBR), base rate (BR), and base lending rate (BLR) by 25 basis points effective May 8, 2023, following the announcement today on the overnight policy rate (OPR) increase.

Maybank’s SBR and BR will be increased from 2.75 per cent per annum (p.a.) to 3.00 per cent p.a. while its BLR will be revised from 6.40 per cent p.a. to 6.65 per cent p.a., it said in a statement.
