CBS-10 – Self-service Terminal
Introduction
Self-service terminals (SSTs), including Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs), are critical to Maybank’s retail banking ecosystem in Malaysia.
They provide essential customer services such as authentication, cash withdrawals, deposits, inquiries, and account activation, while also ensuring the resilience and availability of banking functions beyond traditional branch operations.
Under the operational resilience framework, it is necessary to map the processes and resources that underpin these critical services to identify vulnerabilities, dependencies, and potential single points of failure.
This structured mapping provides visibility into how people, processes, technology, and third-party vendors interconnect to deliver the service, and highlights upstream and downstream dependencies that may affect continuity.
The following sections detail the mapping of each sub-CBS under CBS-10: Self-service Terminal.

The mapping of processes and resources for CBS-10: Self-service Terminal demonstrates the intricate ecosystem that enables Maybank to deliver continuous and secure banking services through its ATM and CDM networks.
Each Sub-CBS relies on a complex integration of people, processes, technology, and third parties, with significant interdependencies across core banking systems, card networks, and infrastructure providers.
By identifying these dependencies and systematically mapping them, Maybank can strengthen operational resilience through improved scenario testing, contingency planning, and targeted investment in risk mitigation.
This proactive approach ensures customers continue to have access to essential banking services, even during severe but plausible disruptions, thus safeguarding trust and confidence in the bank’s digital and self-service channels.
