The funny thing is the home branch officer convince me to pay annual fee. RM8 only ma.

Annual fee RM8 is for the atm card/ur debit card. Some bank waive them, most dun. If u dun take the atm card, they cannot charge u RM8 annually.

agreed. i even had a local cimb branch, asking me to provide employment letter to open an account.

well u cannot blame them as BNM had instructed to tighten on acc opening, enforcing know-your-customer to reduce mull acc. most bank want employemnt letter by company to oen an acc just like last time my acc opening with maybank

not really, that's the only bank who asked for it. i have affin, ambank, bank islam, hong leong, kfh, maybank, ocbc, public, rhb, uob and sc savings account. none of which asked for it. so ..... it is not really a norm nor requirement by bnm.

public bank and maybank asked from me be4 from personal experience. maybe it depends on branches and not strictly enforced
