MariBank Referral Code 8ZUU96EA — September 2026: Which Product Tier Actually Gives You the Most?

Most referral posts hand you the code and move on. The part they skip is the one that actually matters: which of the four product paths you pick determines how much you walk away with — and the difference is not trivial.

The Four Tiers, Side by Side

MariBank runs a tiered referral structure. Same code, very different outcomes depending on what you apply for:

1. Mari Savings Account (standalone) — S$10 cash. Simplest path, no credit check, no bundling.
2. Mari Invest Bundle — S$10 cash. Savings account + investment access in one application.
3. Mari Credit Card Bundle — S$15 cash + up to S$100 in separate Mari Credit Card New User Rewards. Highest-value path for eligible applicants.
4. Instant Loan Bundle — S$15 cash. Includes a savings account + personal loan access.

Both you and the person whose code you use receive the same amount. The cash lands in your Mari Savings Account instantly on approval — not at month-end, not after a waiting period.

​

ⓘ Separate track: if you are a business owner, the Mari Business Account pays S$28 cash instantly to both sides. Different promotion, different cap. Worth knowing if that applies to you.

Why the Credit Card Bundle Path Is Usually the Right Call

The S$5 difference between tiers is not the main reason to pick the Mari Credit Card Bundle. It is the additional S$100 in welcome rewards that the savings-only path does not unlock at all:

• S$30 Welcome Cashback (10% cashback) — spend S$300 on your Mari Credit Card within 30 days of card approval. Note: Shopee Instant Checkout spend does not count toward this S$300 threshold — it is excluded.
• S$70 Shopee Voucher Pack — triggered separately by using Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout on Shopee. This and the S$30 cashback are triggered by different spend, so you can claim both.

Total maximum new-user value on the Credit Card Bundle path: S$15 referral cash + S$30 cashback + S$70 Shopee vouchers = S$115, before interest.

The Mari Credit Card requires a minimum annual income of S$30,000 (or S$15,000 if you are 56 and above), and approval is subject to MariBank's credit assessment. If you do not meet the income requirement, the S$10 paths are still solid — just be deliberate about which one you pick before you start.

​

Exactly Where to Enter the Code

This is the step that causes the most problems. MariBank is explicit: the code cannot be applied after your application is submitted. No exceptions, no retroactive fixes.

​

Here is the sequence:

1. Download the MariBank app from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Huawei AppGallery.
2. Tap Sign Up and register with your Singapore mobile number.
3. Select your product path before anything else — this determines your reward tier.
4. When you reach the field labelled "Have a Referral / Promo Code? Enter your code here", type 8ZUU96EA exactly. Confirm it shows correctly.
5. Proceed to the Singpass / MyInfo identity verification step.
6. Submit. Reward is credited to your Mari Savings Account instantly on approval.

The field appears before the Singpass step. If you have already passed that screen without entering the code, it is too late.

What Disqualifies You (the Part Most Posts Skip)

• Leaving the code field blank or entering it with a typo — neither side gets anything, no exceptions.
• Applying for bundle components as separate applications instead of selecting the bundled path — it will not qualify for the bundle reward.
• Previously holding a MariBank account for the same product tier you are applying for — even a closed account disqualifies you for that tier.
• Using 8ZUU96EA alongside another MariBank promotional code — they do not stack within the same promotion period. Third-party offers (Shopee deals, Mastercard promotions) still stack fine.
• Closing the account shortly after approval — MariBank can claw back the referral reward if the account is not kept open and in good standing.
• Not a Singapore Citizen or PR, or no valid Singpass — MariBank Personal Banking is SC/PR only as at 2026.

What You Are Actually Signing Up For (Beyond the Referral)

The Mari Savings Account earns up to 3.08% p.a. interest credited daily as a new user (base rate 0.88% p.a. + applicable bonus interest promotions). No salary crediting requirement. No minimum balance. No fall-below fee. SDIC-insured up to S$100,000.

​

The Mari Credit Card offers 1.5% unlimited cashback on all local and overseas spend, no annual fee (permanently), and no foreign exchange fees on overseas transactions (valid until 31 December 2026 — check the app for updates). Cashback is credited when transactions post, not at end of month.

One thing to know upfront: there are no ATMs and no physical branches. Everything is in-app. If you need cash access overseas, you will need a separate card.

​

September vs Previous Months — What Changed

For context on what is different in September 2026:

• The standalone Mari Savings Account path has dropped back to S$10 (July 2026 ran a birthday "Upsized Rewards" promotion where it temporarily paid S$15 on the savings account tier).
• The Mari Credit Card Bundle and Instant Loan Bundle paths remain at S$15.
• The cap is 10,000 referrals, unchanged from recent months.
• Promotion closes 30 September 2026 — must be approved by that date, not just applied.

Always verify the current T&Cs in the MariBank app before submitting, as terms are updated each month.
