Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for visiting us. In line with SBB and CIMB merger, our new website address is http://www.cimbbank.com.my/. You can also access our Internet Banking service, CIMB Clicks via this new website.

This page will automatically redirect you to our new website. Click here if you wish to be redirected immediately.

it's show this when im clicked the www.directaccess.com.my

Guess they've officially "merge" with CIMB. Not sure if the 2% petrol rebate still applicable or not.

Really can't find Direct Access info at the merged site.

Perhaps you can give DA CS a call to confirm.

Choose Direct Banking in the top bar
http://www.cimbbank.com.my/index.php?tpt=da

yes. it's merged.
and i use cimb clicks to login my DA's CC account. and it's works.

After being redirected, an error said that the page is not found.

one thing that baffles me. why on earth do you guys want to keep upgrading?
does one knows that the annual charges of a platinum card is not exactly "token fee"?

so what if you've got it waived? but for how long? or how much does it cost you to remained waived subsequently?

it's a good thing that directaccess cards are free(without any CAVEATS). the rest have some interesting ways of masking their charges, weaving it with conditions.

I want to apply DA card.....
How to apply through you?

Actually you can always negotiate the terms with the bank so you do not have to call in every year to ask them to waive the annual fee for you for Platinum credit card. For instance, Standard Chartered Priority Banking customers usually are offered only either a free for life VISA Platinum or Mastercard Platinum as long as you maintain your status as their priority customer but some of these privileged few managed to get both VISA Platinum and Mastercard Platinum. You just need to negotiate with them.

i have no problems in login into the page.
actually it's the same page u login into ur CIMB bank lol...

I'm not talking about logging into CIMBClicks to view DA statement.

I'm taking about going to DA info page. I still get HTTP 404 Not Found error message upon clicking Direct Banking at CIMB Bank homepage.

maybe they also merged the website.

Hmm. i just tried it again and had no problems...

Apply card and cancel after approve will make our record bad?Why never hear people say that.How they check record?My friend apply HLB card after approve cancel.Now apply after donno how many month after also can get de.

No such thing la who told you that?

my fren who is in CC sales told me that, in order for him to get the commission, the card must be active for 6 months. on 7th months u can cancel it.

he so crazy about his CC sales, keep asking me apply this card n that card.
ended, no card applied with him. haha

btw, u mean ur fren applying back HLB card? or other bank CC?

For once, I have to agree with siutimtim. It makes no sense to have your financial record bad just because you apply and cancel your card. The bank which issues you the card may temporarily blacklist you from applying again to their bank but to affect all of your applications with other banks - sounds very far fetched.

Appreciate anyone who could verify this story about applying and canceling credit cards will make credit history looks bad.

it's sad that alot of folks are ignorant about credit ratings and how it impacts their ability to draw credit from financiers.
