Just have to say. Ambank worst bank ever.
I have to go to the actual ambank center to apply for privilege status immediately.
And when I went to the counter the first time, the person did not even tell me that if I have to go to Sri petaling if I want to get immediate privileged status. otherwise might take 2 days to approve.
And I actually have to get a bill as proof of address even though my uncle one is acceptable. And they do not even accept if it's slightly torn. I mean a torn bill is not a proof of address? That even when I have evidence that I opened another account with affin banks nearby.
Should have imagined how difficult this bank is when you guy say have to put 10k overnight.
I told them immediately that pb and affin bank can make me privileged customer immediately why you cannot. I just have to put in the required amount right. And they say it's procedure. I mean. I thought we are living in 2023?
Opening an account was never so difficult even before the pandemic. When I opened my account in cimb or hong Leong
It was a straightforward process.
Like I said. People working in Banks are not there to make your life easier.
Just venture my opinion.
Maybe after the 1MDB fiasco (and Najib's case is ongoing, with former AmBank senior managers on the stand), and AmBank being fined by BNM, guess they are being more prudent in making their checks and KYC when accepting larger deposits.
