the staff in mytown (via call) told me they can process open new account upto 10pm, only placement of FD must be before 530pm.
tomorrow will called them to confirm again
If deposit FD(s) at MyTown AND want the same day effective deposit for the same day, all personal cheques or banker's cheques that need to deposit for FD in MyTown KL, U BETTER need to be there and done before 4pm as this "Service centre" does NOT have a cheque deposit bank-in machine as it is not a banking hall at all. After the FD account is created by their laptop (link to affin system), the cheque will be handle by the their delivery man (if he is around as he need to travel to Maluri banking branch to deposit the cheque and collect the FD slips back to MyTown again, if after 4.30pm for cheque deposit in Maluri branch which is a cut off time for banking day, it will consider next BUSINESS day transaction and the FD effective day will be next Business day). So the person in charge in MyTown will check whether the delivery man in nearby or not when he/she start creating the FD account for you to make sure whether can make it on time. If not, it will be next business day to collect your slip. But you don't have to be there to do the transaction anymore. As it has been key in the system.
AFFIN MyTown is merely a service centre with ATM machines convenient for people who just want to come after office hour to do any transaction like creating account (can be same day as there is cash deposit machine, FD (effective next business day). So it is good for people who go on Weekend and do it in LEISURELY and on Monday OR any even in next weekend,(or next next) U go and collect the slip. No need to take leave.
All other banks should have practice more on these service centre that can accept FD deposit after office hour and don't mind the next business effective day slip or cert.
