Usually financial service provider has multiple back-up servers for migration activities with zero downtime on the front-end. I hope this is the case for BP. Even if have downtime, hope they migrate it at low peak hours and also have proper backup, we don't want all our data/ money missing. |

QUOTE(lilsunflower @ Jan 15 2019, 04:11 PM) Unsuccessful (i.e. reversed and shown with a strike-through on my app's transaction list) because there was only RM200 in my account while the ATM withdrawal was for RM1,506 (including transaction fee). Although I didn't lose any money, it is still showing as a (reversed) transaction on MY account and I want to know why. Plus, how many people withdraw cash from BP at 3.41am? QUOTE(lilsunflower @ Jan 15 2019, 04:25 PM) This is serious, do update us on what's the feedback from BP. Even if no attempted withdraw or card being compromised, BP somehow triggered this withdrawal thingy and then reversed it. What if it didn't gets reversed. |

But for air ticket, or anything which has free protection from credit card, I'll normally use credit card. BP advantage (for local spend) is only the BP points, which is rather useless if you ask me. sigh, i just used BP to book tix to japan few weeks ago |

Used BP in HK for few transactions, rate is higher than money changer by 0.3%-0.4% while it's higher than online Xe.com by less than 0.1%

QUOTE(BigPayJonathan @ Feb 1 2019, 11:56 AM) Hey, thanks for highlighting this. I'll send you a PM so I can follow up. Knowing our awesome CS team and strict procedures, we haven't gotten back to you yet because the investigation is still taking place. Cases like these are complicated and taken extremely seriously. We have a list of on-going tickets that are classified by severity and I'm 100% yours is very high up there. Since this also involves a third party (the ATM company), it takes a bit of time for us to get to the bottom of it. This isn't a PR response, and I'm sorry if we haven't followed up with you even to tell you that this was still on-going. With regards to BNM: don't worry, they watch us VERY closely. Have a great CNY break everyone. If this is top priority, and obviously it should be, 2 weeks not acceptable at all. Many people are worried. |

Certainly not to the point of being "useless" which IMHO is a very harsh remark to be labelled at. I did encouter some terrible experience with BP CS too, so nope, they're not good, definitely not as claimed by Jon with the "huge improvement".But of course Boost is in a different league, they're really one of the worst, if not the worst I've encountered |

QUOTE(tohff7 @ Feb 28 2019, 12:04 PM) Not sure if you understand my example or not. And also don't know why you need to be SO defensive about it in a public forum. We know there's nothing illegal in topping up BigPay and then do ATM withdrawal to game the CC reward system. But obviously this will not last forever. Defending it here won't prevent the inevitable outcome I don't think BP has the right, or duty to investigate into the source of funds, asking customer to justify their earning etc. They have a duty to report to BNM based on certain AMLA guidelinesLike I said, BigPay can be less strict because your source of fund is electronically traceable. Only CC or bank transfer, no CDM. But doesn't mean they can just sit on their ass and not need to have some sort of monitoring to detect unusual activity and report to BNM. Anyway, like some forummers pointed out, BigPay will just call you, interview you and ask to show some document as a proof if necessary. Don't need to worry about getting ban/suspended as long as you can give reasonable reason and show document proof. Real case - in the start when there's is no CC topup limit, my friend did huge $$$ amount with BigPay in 2-3 months (CC points earned enough to redeem flight to London). BP staff called him up and ask for certain documents (salary slips i think). Till this day, he still have his BP card and still churning with the RM10k limit. That's BP part. Now comes the bank part. On bank side, they will only see "RMxxxx cash is deposited via CDM" right, they won't know the source of the cash, right? So, depending on what you do, it could trigger a red flag for potential money laundering activities, and then an investigation/report might need to be done and filed to BNM as part of the process. Obviously, big sum money transfer is already by default need to be reported. In money laundering, there is a process called 'structuring' - read up on that. This is why small amount transactions can be flagged as well. 1 BigPay card to topup, withdraw, and deposit RM9-10k cash with the CDM 3-4 times might seem 'little' to trigger something - but what if it's more than 1 card feeding deposit into an account?. After-all, everyone can apply for BP - be it for their son, daughter, uncle, auntie, grandma, grandpa |

Only reconcile once a while, but when tried to reconcile transactions today, figure didn't tally. So downloaded entire historical transactions record, again, after adding up all amount (also removed those under decline, etc), balance short of few thousand.
I suspect balance might be correct but maybe has missing records in the transactions, as I should be aware if short of so much money. |

QUOTE(#Victor @ Mar 17 2019, 12:28 AM) have u figure out what's wrong with your balance and transaction records? sounds scary as i always have balance inside and couldn't keep track the balance unlike credit card with monthly checkpoint. Only you're concerned so far, funny that nobody thought would affect them or might be a risk here.I'm currently waiting for their reply, as from my side, I've checked few times carefully on all approved/settled transactions. In fact, if the statements showing higher amount than my actual balance, means few possible scenario:- a) Top up reflected in statement, but not updated in app b) Legit withdrawal but missing in statement c) Fraudulent withdrawal but missing in statement d) Balance suddenly went missing from account I'm hoping that it's part (b). It's super hard to track actually, and if something gone wrong or if the amount is not that huge, I might really overlook. Boost even more challenging. In fact, very frequent when I tried to reconcile my Boost account, I normally lost many transactions since they only show few recent ones. As I've shared in Boost thread earlier, I keep receiving sms notification from Boost on top up on consecutive days, despite only made 1 top up before that. So far, card still being charged once for my actual top up, but with Boost keep sending sms everyday is annoying + worrying. Plus the recent credit card fraud on my Visa Infinite really makes me more paranoid already. This post has been edited by msa9696: Mar 17 2019, 10:30 PM |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 3 2019, 11:36 AM) BP is well positioned to jump on the "neo-bank" wave, as it already has a presence among the early adopters of fintech (aka forumers in this channel).... Competition is always good, with this wave of Neo Banks, for sure commercial bank will feel the heat and lose a segment of their market, ultimately consumer benefit from it.There are already 3 virtual banks in Australia, including insurer ING....and they attract customers by their lower costs and loan interest rates.... Whether it will take off, depends on how much cheaper they can be compared to brick and mortar banks.... Just like BP preloaded MC works out more advantageous to users....how many of you will use it if it's the same as standard bank cc? Will you move from a 4.5% housing loan to a 4.3% neo-bank loan? 4.1%? |

After so long, finally BP layan me on the huge variance on my BP account. Apparently, there's a 3k withdrawal which was recorded from BP's end, but it was "missing" from the statement downloaded from my app. I spent a lot of time trying to reconcile if I really withdraw the 3k, and concluded that there's a 80% chance I did so I accepted the explanation.
Just wondering, if there's really no withdrawal but BP claim to have the transaction recorded, it's going to be so troublesome to appeal, provided BP even want to entertain the dispute/ contact the respective bank |

QUOTE(David83 @ Apr 3 2019, 10:19 PM) You can ask BP to disclose the details of the RM 3k withdrawal that they claimed right? Yes they disclosed all thatAt where and when? Which bank ATM?

There are people here, when they're not victims yet they will give lots of sarcasm and silly remarks, wait until it strike them they will be jumping high and low.I take variances seriously be it RM 10 or RM 1k, if there are variances means system got bugs already, today RM 10 tomorrow can be RM 1k QUOTE(Mr.Weezy @ Apr 3 2019, 11:52 PM) Better check closely, because if it's a small amount you might not even be awareThis post has been edited by msa9696: Apr 4 2019, 11:53 AM |

Yes PBB is the problem just so many ppl got into issues before, so stop withdrawing from PBB. Definitely nothing to do with banking hours, as I've withdrawn many times at night (8pm, 11pm etc). Just stick to the few more reliable banks then should be okNot sure if you guys did read it or try to prove something. fairylord Maybe you would want to add this tip into Page#1 |
