Is it true that CIMB does not allow joint FD account holder (either to sign) to withdraw through banker's cheque using only one of the names on the cheque? I requested the cheque to be issued under my name but was told that it must be two names, cannot be 1 name only. Other banks like UOB allow me to do so. In fact, they even recommended me to do so when I asked.

I had to make 3 visits to CIMB recently because of this. As there were 2 names on the cheque, the cheque got rejected when I tried to deposit it into my account in another bank. So, I went back to CIMB to cancel the cheque & ask them to reissue another 1 with my name only the next day. I ended up paying another RM5.98 + RM2.12 (cheque cancellation fee) for it. They got my name printed wrongly. I was in a hurry at that time so I did not check properly before leaving the counter as their service was slow. I just skimmed through the cheque and it looked ok to me. Only on my way to another bank did I found out that they got my name printed wrongly. I had to go back to CIMB again for that. More waiting.  The officer did not even have the courtesy to apologize for the mistake. By the time I got my cheque, the other bank was already closed.

I think they also did not pay me the interest for the weekend. This coupled with the interest lost for the cheque clearance & petrol costs all added up to my losses. Really lousy bank.

CIMB, former Bank Bumiputra right?

bro new to m'sia? cimb bukan bank baru.

Southern Bank buy BHL Bank. CIMB buy Southern Bank. Previous BHL Bank changed to Southern Bank then CIMB Bank.   

BHL Bank    why I never heard it before 

You must be very young. Hahaha. 

BHL Bank or Ban Hin Lee Bank was a famous Penang established bank. 

Young muscle man.

Walau, mentioned about Ban Hin Lee Penang, reminds me of my usual happy hour port at "Let's Get Fat" in BHL bank building.

Bro, for large amount fund transfer, next time don't bother to issue banker's chq. Just contra the FD cash withdrawal to OTC IBG...kaotim. Cheap, safe, fast, no travelling cost, no parking fee, no saman if can't find parking, time saving.

It depends on the condition of withdrawal
If u specify either 1, then anyone from joint holder can do whatever is necessary

The condition of withdrawal is either 1 to withdraw. Yet, CIMB won't allow me to put only 1 name on the cheque.  

Tis is too much 
Must lodge complaint with BM 

You mean BNM.
