Where to Withdraw New Banknotes for Ang Pao
Here are the multiple ways to get new notes before the festive season:
Maybank ATMs (Selected Locations Only)
There are dedicated Maybank ATMs that dispense new RM10 and RM50 notes. These machines are usually available 1–2 weeks before Chinese New Year.
🔹 How to check locations?
Maybank will announce the exact ATMs offering new banknotes on their website and social media closer to the date.
🔹 How to withdraw?
- Visit the selected ATM.
- Select “Withdrawal” and choose RM10 or RM50 denominations.
- Withdraw in multiples of RM300, RM500, or RM1000 (subject to machine limits).

| RM10 | ✅ Yes | Multiples of RM300 |
| RM20 | ❌ No | Not available |
| RM50 | ✅ Yes | Multiples of RM500 |
Maybank Branch Over-the-Counter Withdrawal
If you need specific denominations like RM20, you’ll have to visit a Maybank branch.
🔹 Steps to withdraw new notes at the bank:
- Visit your nearest Maybank branch early (lines can be long!).
- Request specific denominations from the teller.
- Ensure you meet the minimum withdrawal amount (usually RM300).
📢 Tip: Call your preferred branch in advance to check stock availability.
