Maybank Philippines, Inc. (MPI) on January 9, 2015 officially launched Maybank Switch Up, the country's first banking innovation challenge for outstanding graduating business students of top universities.

The competition will allow the students to experience first-hand the conceptualization up to the implementation of banking products with the aid of Maybank executives who will serve as their mentors throughout the competition. Maybank Switch Up will push the contestants to their limits as they are exposed to various strategic challenges to bring the business of banking to the next level amid the changing landscape and tightening competition in the market.

"Maybank Switch Up is an opportunity for the students to not only apply their strategic skills but also incorporate their creative ideas to come up with innovative plans that will create or enhance a bank product aimed to stand out in the highly regulated and continuously growing financial industry," said MPI President and CEO Herminio M. Famatigan, Jr.

To join Maybank Switch Up, students may download the application form from www.maybank2u.com.ph/en/personal/careers/switch-up.page and e-mail the accomplished form to switchup@maybank.com.ph.

There will also be a winning group that will be awarded USD2,200 in cash, plus an offer to work in MPI.
