Maybank has joined DBS and UOB in offering additional support to junior employees, with more than 800 staff in its Singapore operations set to receive a one-off payout, according to a report by The Business Times.

The package includes S$1,250 for about 200 unionised executives and a quarter-month bonus for more than 600 other junior employees, a Maybank Singapore spokesperson said.

The bank employs more than 2,000 staff in Singapore.

Maybank Singapore said the payment recognises employees’ contributions and aims to help staff cope with rising living costs.

Its head of human capital noted that the payout is more than double the S$500 given in earlier years.

DBS announced in February a S$1,000 one-time bonus for more than 23,000 junior employees globally, while UOB said it would give a half-month base salary payout to over 6,000 junior staff.

The move comes after Maybank reported stronger earnings.

The group posted a 5.7 percent rise in fourth-quarter net profit to RM2.7 billion for the three months ended 31 December 2025.

Full-year net profit increased 4.2 percent to RM10.5 billion.

In Singapore, profit before tax rose 1.3 percent to S$711.3 million, supported by higher net fund-based income despite slower non-interest income, higher overheads and lower impairment write-backs.
