You need to keep operating cost as low as possible. The more branches you opened, the more overhead incurred. Who pay branches rental, computer, electricity and manpower?
This overhead is taken from your pocket.
When you use agent, you have less overhead. Agent charges based-on number of transaction basis.
You made a point, when they open branches, they take cash and give cash. Where is this cash from? Handling cash is very risky and involved a lot of cost. You need security, then need security van to deliver cash and send cash.
So, i think the best is close all the branches. Let online platform, post office and bank run for them. Better still if they can leverage fundsupermart to help them on the VP fund.
If you run carnival in pavillion and mid valley, who pay the rental? If you do at padang, it is very low cost. In fact, the new PNB boss is very pandai in cost cutting. They no longer need send paper statement, update passbook. imagine the cost of sending annual report. Assuming each cost RM10 to print, pack, send. 1million subscribers incurred RM10million.
How good if this 10million is giving back to you?
Look it at this way, a little bit of inconvenience which gives you a better return.

their carnival lately is not good I must say. who the hell go to carnival for investment stuff? And on padang padang? LOL
should have made it in the mall. midvalley, pavilion, etc etc.
and more branch. stop hoping on agent. they wont do a good job.
hope them, can abolish agent and set up own branch with simple task like updating purchasing withdrawing. I think the only drawback is withdrawing, they don't hold that much cash as compared to bank?
