Went to open a new account at Maybank. Waited quite long and the service is bad!

Well after you have the account, everything is very convenient with Maybank2u internet banking, cash/cheque deposit machine, phone banking and ATM machine. Just the start up is a little troublesome.

He did say that "RHB Bank ranks the lowest, with untidy interfaces, lots of unfixed errors, browser compatibility issues etc.
"

PB demands for RM258. RM8 for the ATM card.

Why you need that much of banks!

When you planned to close, you'll be penalized. Having 3 now, I also considered "too many".

Yes, bring that much amount of cash when you want to open an account at PB.

Well, I guess you can withdraw them out once your ATM card is active.

BHB? Which bank?

For PB, you can withdraw till you left RM1 in the account. Not so sure if it's applicable via ATM but it can be done at the counter.

Even though the bank is offering 24 hours Internet banking service, they will have daily scheduled maintenance; usually in the midnight or late midnight. BCB channel-e and Maybank2u are pretty good examples.

The HSBC security device is to tighten the security. I think it's a good selling point even though some may think it's tedious.

You want to lose all of your money or not?

I may consider to go for it. Tighter security ...

But they always closed for maintenance during late midnights.

Who told you that BCB is only for bumiputera?

How you define "very secure"?

Just want to share my frustations, usually I want to do some Internet banking during midnights on certain days. Found out that Maybank2u and BCB channel-e always down for maintenance at these hours. Service will resume after 2am or 3am.

For PB, I don't think that their Internet banking is 24 hours; till midnight only. At Maybank2u and BCB are still better in this sense.

There's pros and cons regarding this.

Pros is privacy issue is settled. Cons is you don't know where the money comes from.

It'll be very handy if you have Maybank2u with you all the time.

Not promoting ... please don't misinterpret.

Not exactly ... if they have, it's the best.

Maybank2u is quite secured with their TAC implementation.

I tried BCB phone banking before but very limited things you can do with it. So, I have terminated it.

Of course you need to apply for it. I'm not sure about Maybank but for BCB, you need to register and wait till they mail you the PIN. It was last time and I don't know now.

I guess so.

I think they're recent joiner of the Internet banking service.

Seems like AmBank and Alliance Bank are the good choices if you do a lot of inter-bank fund transfer.
