To make it easier, Simpan SSPN depositors can make deposits into the Simpan SSPN account through MBSB Bank's e-Wallet without having to open a savings account with MBSB Bank."
Datuk Nor Azam added, "MBSB Bank's e-Wallet is the first Syariah-compliant mobile application digital wallet in Malaysia offered by MBSB Bank."
