I think most banks are like that, some are more flexible. I think Maybank allows you to close at other branch.

you know the funny thing.

I have 2 PB account one at panda jaya another at PJ old town.

when I close my account at Panda jaya, they accidentally gave me extra few hundred. I didn't even check because I just want to get it done.

then I went to PJ old town to close my other account.

the bank called back, and I said I have no time to come back they can collect it back at PJ old town.

best part was when I close the account in PJ old town the bank deducted the amount and NOT give me full and for me to gracefully give them back the money...mayeb I am being petty... but frankly I have a lot of beef with PB bank..

I am glad I have nothing to do with PB from now on..
