I'd open a public bank account a few years ago due to my previous working company need it to direct bank in the salary. After stop working in that company i very seldom use that account only use it to do some small amount transaction. Until last month when i want to deposit money in that account with machine it shows me something like "ACCOUNT INACTIVE / ACCOUNT UNAVAILABLE". I think it's because usually i just do transaction online and didn't deposit any money in and the account has been less than rm20 in it that's why it's inactive.

But i wanted to know if i go to the bank to deposit money in it and request to use back the same account number is it possible?

*I'd call to the bank but they call me to go to bank only can check. I'm working actually so i can't just go to the bank and wait for a few hours to check. Especially after wait for a long time but in the end if they can't give me what i want.. Just wanted to know any sifu can tell me is it possible to get back the same account number?

THANKS

you need to go back to the branch to reactivate it

All you need to do is just bring your IC & yourself to PB bank and let them know that you want to activate your account.

It's a simple task for them...should be less than 45min, they need ic and to do the checking...transaction or not it must be cash out in cash at least once a year else it will be inactive, you should change to your current address as when they do it they will first send a warning letter.

so it's possible to get back the same account number la... thanks alot ya...

thanks for your info.. will go to the branch to do it..

as long as not more than 7 years

Yes, I believe you can activate the same account number.

Million thanks to all LYN members that solved my problem
