Supposedly they are aware of the issues and will automatically fix it for everyone.... but you know, squeaky wheel gets the grease.

would like to apply for alliance VI. anyone know of any promo or booth in klang valley?

ringgitplus? RM200 or luggage

Anyone here mine to share your experience with alliance bank? I applied for visa signature credit card lately via their app. I submitted IC and EPF statement as per request by app.

Submitted everything then this is what they reply me.

"Jst updated in system, for employment checking is failed yea
There are 2 ways for us to proceed for you,
- arrange u walk in to nearest branch with green-lane to complete the biometrics
- arrange a video conferencing via google meet to share screen with me ur epf statements & ic"

Upon checking with the staff why employment check fail, this is what she told me:

- comment from credit department is the company not listed and process not completed by me so I am not sure why they said so

Kind of ridiculous, I do own public bank visa signature and hsbc visa signature, HSBC visa signature, Standard chartered, Citibank, Affin bank, Ambank where the first two income requirement even higher than their visa signature card.

Yet this is my first time got nonsense reply "company not listed". The company information was provided and even available online. The second option she suggest also nonsense where those documents I already submitted and yet she ask to share screen.

Sound like she suspecting my epf statement and ic is fake. Or either she suspecting I am not a real person by asking me to do biometric. My credit score everything they can extract from BNM and yet she ask for something so nonsense. If she ask for payslip then it seem more make sense but she not even ask for that.

Based on my personal experience, seem like the staff are not professional in collecting and processing info. The app is like a joke after I submit through app then they ask me go for manual submission or video conference. I guess better apply via website like ringgitplus or comparehero instead of direct via their apk

Really first time I receive a feedback from bank that "Company not listed". Kind of speechless

each bank has its own background check; no point comparing with other banks as each has its own rules, policies and procedures. having cards from other banks does not guarantee approval from Alliance or others.

Alliance already provided you the reasons and options*. now up to you.

if you cannot accept their procedures, then dont get their products at all. simple as that.


*you may still get rejected at the final approval process. i guess now is just screening stage.

I was given only 1 option which is walk in to branch to verify biometric and epf
The staff open browser show me to login epf to print out statement which is the same statement I submitted before
The staff told me their credit approval department memang like that
I waited over an hour outside during mco period
Whole branch only 1 counter serve public and 1 counter serve vvip
Personal experience i feel affin better than them
Their online banking app also cacat one
If you dont have savings account
You can only use web version ebanking
Mobile app only for the cardholder having savings account
And you must not open credit card ebanking first
Else you need to terminate and reopen the saving ebanking

I don't have problem even if they rejected the application. The only thing I am dissatisfied is the respond where it doesn't make sense at all.

"Company not listed" was just nonsense, it's such a simple thing to identify an existence of company. It somehow reflected they cannot even do a simple thing.

I guess the girl texted is just being honest telling me the reason stated by their so called credit department. I wonder whether they take their sweet time or what, "company not listed" as a reason really not acceptable. I wonder do they really check or not.

If the girl twisted and said u got so many credit card so rejected or whatsoever then probably it will be better. I sharing my personal experience here simply out of curiosity about their service since they not even able to do a proper background check.

Side story about another weird thing I noticed. I tried to call their customer service line and upon choosing language the autodialer will ask to key in nric number but regardless of how you key in, it will said the nric is not valid. The only option is press 0 and stated not with nric. Then even after that the line automatic dropped.

Seem like their system really have quite some problem. This experience also make me curious what others experience about their service.

Gosh I thought I am the only 1. No wonder the girl contacted me mentioning something like their credit department strict and got their own sop in checking thing.

In that case, I suppose many people are facing the same issue. Probably the credit department is so powerful that they no need to do their job and push to branch to do.

Btw, I don't like her option 2 is because it doesn't make sense. As the same documents already shared yet they ask me to share screen then go through the same process to get the same documents I send them.

Probably she thought of record video then show to their credit department. In that case, seriously they have to do a major rework for those department if not cannot compete at all.

Yes I do agree even affin much better than them. When I apply for affin duo, they don't have some fancy request like go through the app to apply but the whole experience is much better. After submit the relevant documents they just call me confirm some question. Shortly after the card approved.

In short their service really questionable......

Alliance is the Champ - toughest to apply & lowest in given limit

Lol, it's weird. No wonder the user base so small. Probably they only serve vvip customer.

Another contradiction is their card income limit is much lower than similar card of their peer.

Their visa signature income limit is much lower than hsbc and public bank. It seem like an attempt to boost user but yet they are the toughest.

I submitted my interest via RP and someone from Alliance called me yesterday. Subsequently she sent me the forms and asked for required documents.

I screenshot to her that as MNC salaried employee, I’m only required to submit NRIC and latest payslip. She WhatsApp-ed me this morning and told me I’m still required to submit detailed EPF statement for 2021 and 2022. Fine, I gave in and downloaded for her.

Then, she noticed my April EPF (to be reflected in May) hasn’t been reflected, she asked for my April payslip. OK, I gave in as well. Then, she asked for bank statement to prove my April salary was credited. I was like what?! Maybank only gives 3 months statement and I only have until 31st March, obviously my April salary is not in this statement.

At this point, I already told her I want to cancel my application as I haven’t seen such troublesome bank before. The lady is polite and apologized to me for the inconvenience. She also agreed with what I said as her other customers told her the same thing. Finally, I found credit advice for my salary and I gave to her. I really hope that’s the final last thing they will ask from me.

If they ever call to my office for employment check, then good job because we are still working from home.


My nightmare to be continued…

seems like id be taking my leave on this CC then. thanks for the feedback guys

Any idea what is this campaign? I didnt recall I got reply any sms for participation though😅. Or maybe it is auto enrollment?🤔

Alliance sop is give me what i asked for else

Yeah, this is also how I feel about it.

WTF are you saying? My brain hurts trying to understand your English.

This is abit old but you should know the tnc of credit card usage.

While maybe alliancr IPP works differently, the problem is that banks always say to pay off the statement balance. If you dont, they can charge interest that are super high.

Hey, i got something similar. And I'm not aware of whatever promo / campaign back then when i activated the card in nov 2021.

Suddenly, found out RM500 free money today while checking my transactions.

23-May-2022 CASHBACK NOV21-JAN22 VISA CC CAMPAIGN - 500.00

I can see the application recorded in eCCRIS already; it was done yesterday. Let's see how long it takes to know the result.

I feel you. I have applied VI via ringgit plus and the sales manager they assigned to handle my application is very good and pro-active in everything. If anyone need his contact in the future, please pm me.

11/05 - Submitted my docs
19/05 - Approved with 25k CL

Might be a silly question: Can any sifu enlighten me if we can stack Infinite 3k ewallet reload monthly and Platinum 3k ewallet reload monthly; 48k TBP monthly? TIA
