Hi all,

I've recently opened a cimb's biz current a/c with my partner. Why do I choose cimb bcos apparently it's the only bank that don't require "introducer". So now I got the a/c and cheque book but there's no ATM card as they said partnership a/c does not allow ATM card. No bank book or whatsoever. So I ask them how am I gonna check my a/c balance as I do have some clients bank in payment as often as a few times a day? They said there's only 2 ways:

1) call their 1300 hotline - where I have to go through operators, verifications etc which take 5 min - 10 min just to check the a/c balance.

2) register with their "biz channel" - this costs money like about rm100/mth.

Now, why do I have to go through all the hassle to check my own money in my own wallet? The 2) method is even more ridiculous where I have to pay to check my balance in my wallet.

I am not sure about partnership current a/c from other banks. Can someone share their experience? Is there anyway I can change my company's bank in the future? I just need simple sevices like check a/c balance and daily transactions. Thanks...

I haven't apply to biz channel. I don't need to do the above mentioned transaction to socso etc. I just need simple service like checking my a/c balance. Coz once my client banked in the money, I can immediately courier the goods. Its that simple. I don't need its bulk-payroll service etc.

Btw, cheques require both partner's signature so the disagreement cheque issuance that u mentioned won't occur.

I thought we can use cimb clicks like savings a/c too but apparently, current a/c can't use it.

They have it. But not for current a/c. There's only 2 ways to check ur biz current a/c for partnership.

1) call 1300 hotline
2) apply for their online biz channel service which cost rm100-250.

Yes, in fact, proprietor allow to apply for an ATM card to manually check balance like personal a/c too

Oh, they deduct from ur account monthly basis?

To all, money is not an issue here. The prob is I don't need those services. I just need to check my balance from time to time. That simple......
