"We're excited to be working together with Sutra on their SMEBiz Travel project and to serve the evolving demands of SME business travelers in Malaysia and beyond."

"At Visa, we constantly look at finding opportunities to help the SME community digitize and transform in this new age where technology is heavily embedded in our daily lives. With this travel platform launched by Sutra, SMEs are not only able to make travel bookings and enjoy benefits, but also save time and costs for their businesses. We are extremely glad to support and join this initiative, and will work with all our stakeholders to promote this platform to more SMEs in Malaysia," said Mr. Ng Kong Boon, Visa Country Manager for Malaysia.

SMEs who are Maybank Visa Corporate Cardholders will be able to enjoy a range of benefits offered by SMEBizTravel platform for their business travel needs which includes cash rebate of 0.5%, complimentary personal travel accident insurance of up to RM 700,000 as well as Travel Inconvenience coverage for missed flight connections, luggage delay and luggage lost.
