I have a partnership account with Maybank. Probably not so useful to you since you choose CIMB because of the introducer issue.

Anyway, partnership account with Maybank very easy to open. I also got them to get me the Maybank2u started up, so I can easily check my bank account transactions online, right after buyer has banked in. If not, you have to call them up each time to check whether the transaction went thru or not.

I have to pay RM10 every month for M2U Service Charge though. But if you're a sole proprietary current account then it's free.

Yes. They auto deduct every month from my account. It'll come out in my statement as M2U service charge.
