How it works
The Gold Savings Passbook Account (GSPA) is an account that lets you invest in gold in a convenient, more secure and cheaper way. You can purchase gold in 999.9 fineness at all Maybank branches at daily quoted gold prices for 1gm in Malaysian Ringgit. All transactions will be recorded in your GSPA passbook.
Whenever you need to, you may conveniently withdraw from the GSPA to be exchanged with cash. The amount of gold holdings can be converted to Ringgit Malaysia (RM) equivalent at the prevailing market (gold) price.
