Hi Sir/Madam,

First of all, being a consumer as a Hong Leong credit card user. I am totally disappointed with the service of Hong Leong bank nowadays.

My case as below. My purpose of calling up Hong Leong call centre is to request for the pin number for online bill viewing purpose & some point rewards redemption. This will ease me to check the statement each month when I would be going abroad working.

On 2 months ago, I made a call to Hong Leong bank credit card to request for the pin number for internet viewing statement purpose and cancellation of hardcopy posting instead of e-statement (it's quite pathetic to be a frustrated environmentalist...). Nothing is received. Not as claimed 1 week to receive. Remarks, called up 4-5 times and each time 3-5 minutes of waiting. Please compare this with the CS charter of Hong Leong had made. It seems like no one is maybe 1-2 fella is working in the office of the call centre. In fact, what made me pissed off is, the call centre asked me to go to the nearest branch for enquiries while when I had been there, they asked me to call up the call centre. I left my particulars on the first time for the pin number process. Ok fine, they promise email me the statement for me to make the payment. Nothing is received neither. But I had paid based on the rough amount that the call centre told me through the phone. Go green, ohya... but oh shit in fact for the service I had received.

On 2 weeks ago, I made another time call to the call centre for request about the pin number again.  Remarks, called up 3-4 times and each time 3-5 minutes of waiting. The same thing I was informed by the Hong Leong call centre unprofessional personnel...that "you should go to the nearest branch..." While the branch told me again, this is none of their business as EON bank is just newly attached to Hong Leong. And "We have no idea of their operation." Mr. Tan you should go back to the call centre and request again the number, as told by the haughty face branch manager of HONG LEONG BANK PENANG 1, Light Street 10200 Georgetown Penang, Malaysia Tel: +604 2616 012. Again, I asked for the rough amount from the call centre for the amount for payment purpose as no e-statement being posted to me and further more the hardcopy of posting had been cancelled!
Do I have to make it manual checking for the rough amount for payment? Again, this is pathetic.

On today 14/8/12, 2pm I made another call to the Hong Leong call centre.  Remarks, called up 4-5 times and each time 3-5 minutes of waiting. I was informed that I should go to nearest Hong Leong branch to leave my particulars before I can call up to the call centre to request the pin number again. This is rather just political games. Ok, I could not settle the online banking for my credit card at this moment. Fine.
Lets proceed to my redemption of my points. "Sorry sir, you have unbill payment... before you may do the redemption, please make the payment first." This is time it does drive me crazy as I have to manually request for the rough amount again for bill payment purpose.

But then, all is over for me.

I am totally amazed by the way of Hong Leong banking personnel handling all these. Hong Leong is just not ready & unprofessionally in making a collaboration with new products or joint venturing with other products.

All I am requesting is just a stupid e-statement or online banking service for ease of me to work with locally & abroad soon.

But then it's all over for me as I am planning to cut off my Hong Leong credit card due to reason as below,

1.)Low quality of customer service.
2.)Unexperienced in handling new product / new group of customer...reason I am saying new group of customer is that after merging of EON bank credit card to Hong Leong, being an old user of EON bank credit card. We have no choice, and no place of lamenting the problem because of the no. 1 item... "Low quality of customer service"
3.)Unsincere stuff. A lot of the branches stuff is hiding the actual senarios to the top management I believe. All the complaints is not handled professionally and effectively. Complaints has been made but Hong Leong seems just do not care. There has been much political games playing around between the call centre & the Hong Leong branches.

Conclusion,

Rgds,
TWJ

Bro, you need to call up call centre to request for free annual fee. Or just terminate it and change to others.

If your card is a cash back type, easier to so do by their management for the rebate off.

I am carrying citicard cash back, every year even it's charged to my bill already, you may still make the call for this request.

See my attached of statement. It's from citibenefit.

Cheers & Spend wisely. "Save from those can be saved."javascript:emoticon(':hehe:')

Sis, the problem is solved. Thanks for the drop by. That's the spirit & service I am talking about.

This bloody useless Hong Leong FB account unfriended all those people who complaints about them. I wonder who are managing this account, deleted all those complaint while no action being taken. All the posting are hiring staff, or kang tao here and there instead of proper promotion.

That's y I am saying as from my previous quote, that a lot of their staff are hiding the actual senarios or cases from their top management.

Really suck. Hong Leong bank service make me disappointed too.
Last few few I did call them, requested some information, till today no one willingly to call me back. Also requested their manager to return call, same till now no one call me back.
So have no choice, in order to waive my gov tax n the annual fee, forcing me to activate my card, for the 1st swap, only can waive it all those charges. Will cancel on the 2nd month... No more hong leong, even owned by Chinese.... Stupid bank!!

Let me tell you that I have no account with HL bank but because of Eon Bank merged with HL, so my CC and Savings were merged to HL.

From May till now, they still haven't resolved my savings account issue whereby I am still unable to view/use it through HL Online banking.

I am gonna CANCEL everything with them when I redeem my cc points.

Today, I have another shit with Hong Leong again.

I had been using GSC credit card since 2010 till now. 5 Years. But pretty disappointed with the internet banking, E-statement , those that related with the E or Internet related stuff.

They are pretty lame on that.

Since October this year, 2014, the e-statement is halted till now. I called up not less than 8 times to the call centre in the span of these 3 months. Nothing changed. I guess the credit card department is only focusing on sales but never put hardship on how to improve on the operation.

So, consumers... think twice before subscribe to Hong Leong.

Citibank is pretty fast.

Agree Hong Leong Bank sucks to the max. ATM card locked because entered wrong password (not my primary bank thank God, that's why I couldn't remember the pin).

Rushed to the bank and reached the SS2 branch at 4.10pm. Was informed by a very sleepy looking guy who looked like he couldn't care less that the bank closes at 4pm and there is nothing he can do to help me. Message he delivered was something the lines of, "Sorry bank closes at 4. Our systems all auto shuts down at 4pm and will only reactivate on Monday". Message I got, "I can actually do it if I want to but I don't. Too bad."

Only reason why I am FORCED to use this bank is because my STUPID company insists on using it! Thank god it's not my primary bank and thank god this is not where I keep my money PERIOD! I transfer every single cent possible out of the stupid Hong Leong account every month the moment my salary is in. BEST choice I ever made!

Hi TS,
Something that isn't clear for me from your verbiage. Was your internet banking account already open?

1) If you applied for a Credit Card without opening an internet banking account (it has to be explicitly applied for on a separate form, and does not come by default), then you don't have an internet banking account.

2) To open an internet banking account, I believe it has to be activated at branch via the ATM machine.

The PIN you requested for, is it the CC PIN? Or is it the First Time login pin to your Internet Banking account?

Just to add my 2 cents, up until 6 months ago when I closed most of it, I've had retail internet banking accounts with the following banks:
1) OCBC
2) RHB
3) CIMB
4) MBB
5) UOB
6) HLB
7) PBB
8) AFG
9) SCB

By my experience, the lousiest 3 are:
1) UOB
2) AFG
3) HLB

Hong Leong Bank also offended me as well..

There are so many things that I am not satisfied of:-
1) I inform the sales person that I work for only 4 months, but they put in the application 4 yrs..

2) Do verification on my employment to my company without my consent and acknowledgement..

From what i know, i just merely applying for credit card, so I believe it does not required verification to employer based on my previous experience with the other banks.

The last time that i tell the OIC who called me..''If you want to call my employer, you should have let me know first when I applied credit card with you.. You can go to BNM and check my credit report and see whether i am a good paymaster or not but why you should do something like that without my acknowledgement.."
