Maib has refreshed its brand: modern, agile, innovative
We are very excited to unveil our refreshed brand identity!
Why did we feel the need for a refresh? It came as a natural result of adapting the brand to the bank's new strategy, which aims to create a new standard of customer experience and make our clients’ lives easier, better and more mobile. We are driven by our vision and inspired by our values, which push us towards evolution, innovation, the next level, and motivate us to always provide fresh products and services to our clients and truly be a click away from every customer, no matter what they do or where they are.
Our main goal in this transformation is to be aligned with the needs and lifestyles of our customers. Therefore, we are implementing the new strategy, including our brand personality and the operational model that will provide many more facilities, both in the real and the online environment, but also the maib visual identity: the logo, rebranding of bank’s branches, the website and applications.
Drawing from its rich history of 30 years and continuing to be the market leader, maib keeps up with modern times, aiming to become the most digitalized bank in the country. The new visual identity reflects the position and vision of the bank.
In the context of our clients being so flexible and as we set out to be one click away from them, we felt the need for an equally flexible identity, suitable for both classic communication channels, but also those related to new media, digital and applications. Moreover, our brand is built in such a way, so that its flexibility allows the development of new sub-brands, which will be developed over time. Our ambitions include international digital growth and digital ecosystems initiatives.
What does our new visual identity mean?
The refreshed logo turned out to be a good opportunity to create our own recognizable maib style and bring a bit of joy to people by keeping it simple, clear, modern and youthful at the same time.
The circle symbolises community and unity, holding all our values together, by keeping our promise to remain customer centric, transparent, professional, trustworthy, innovative, agile and team-spirited, the cut in the circle showing our path together, the way up to success, to the next level. The green colour has become brighter and fresher, thus conveying good mood and optimism.
Maib core values – the basis of our actions
Our core values determine all the actions we take, ensuring our commitment to employees, partners, stakeholders and customers, but also our promise to prove again and again, not through words, but through facts that we are:
