Successful try 5k to asw2020 today

Is there any 'quota' or restriction that only selected bank branches can open 'new' acct?

I don't think so. I am guessing is just the worker's attitude and bank's policy on allowing opening or not.

can open in any branch.. but not all branch would help u.

thanks to all forummer who contribute

p/s this list is the place where u would get a bit higher chance of open new account compare with other place

Obviously there's conflict of interest here between the agent banks and ASNB. What are the incentives of agent banks helping to top up or open new ASX FP accounts? Unlike variable price for which they earn commissions, I doubt they gain any benefits from fixed price transactions. Also if you can't top up you may leave the money with the bank in CASA or FD.

that's the banks main intention. they don't want u to withdraw & deposit into FP ASx

Please go to the nearest ASNB office. The staff would assist you in doing the claim, what needs to be done etc. Like others had said, if your dad had done "pengisytiharan amanah", the heirs would get the money within 21 days. But if he didn't, then you would have to go through normal legal process.

How about if a person have a will? 21days also or longer?

Banks are now targeting more on increasing deposits in CASA (current accounts and saving accounts), and fixed deposits.

As such, managers and assistant managers have higher pressure to push for higher deposits compared to the deposits in FP in ASX..

So frankly speaking, those branch managers would hope you not even touch the fixed deposits.. ^^

Will would go through normal legal process. A few months maybe?

yup. that's what I heard.. when wanna withdraw also so many question asked by the staff

It's normal for Bank staff to concentrate on their products instead of ASNB products as the earlier is their main KPI

Damn pissed off with CIMB Klcc la.. The tall specky guy manning the reception counter... Twice told me cannot open.. Today lagi straight tipu me say system offline.. 😡😡😡
Immediately walked to opposite RHB and straight away managed to open new ASM.. Though RHB also kinda hesitant... But i told them mesti ada punya.. Saya tau.. Lol..
Now my collection of all 3 ASX are complete, albeilt just small amount la 😆
But luckily managed to clear the toughest hurdles which is the get the passbooks.. Phew..

congratz after all the hard work, u got all 3 passbook

about CIMB, so many people complain.. their fames quote like yours "system offline" I also donno what to say to them now

better for PNB to strip their agent status & give to another bank

Thought I only facing this problem with CIMB Kuching nearby UTC Other CIMB branch same issue lah?

But mine only is to update my passbook... every year once got dividend, i'll try to update at CIMB coz nearest to my workplace... but everytime the staff will say "system offline"... So, i went to the 2nd nearest bank, which is Maybank & straightaway they update for me....

CIMB SUX!!! Their ATM machine also got lots of problems

Go try cimb near twin towers. You gonna vomit blood. Instead of helping me to open ASX account, they keep pestering me with their bijak malaysia thing. Staff at rubber road very rude. Try to brainwash you with how good bijak malaysia is too. Gonna blacklist these 2 branches. Btw, I still think the cimb branch at Jalan TAR (near UTC) is still the best branch in kuching, although it still suck big time.
