Which bank do you guys think provide the lousiest service.

I have this bank upfront immediately

1) Maybank - TAIPAN ( Usually no one but when i open a FD , it takes more than 30 minutes of waiting time.... i was pissed with the counter staff when i discover my FD is still on the officer table and the officer was doing something else. They are aware of me but y are they doing this...I call this BLACK HEART.

2) CIMB - Another BLACK HEART discover. I called the HQ KL to check if i am able to request my atm transaction printout from any branch rather than going to my Account Bank in Subang Jaya. So i went to Taipan instead and the Counter Staff said that I have to go back to where i open my bank account.. I was pissed and call the HQ KL and clarify... Finally , they insisted the CIMB Manager and the staff to do it in Taipan.

3) Stan Chart- Call HQ KL to check if i can withdraw FD out from Taipan because i open it in FD Penang. According to KL HQ, I can do it but according to the branch, i can't withdraw the money but have to give standing instruction to request penang branch to deliver the cheque to me..


I don't want to sound racist here but most of these people are from one race that you and i already know.....

From: Wouldn't be around much, pls PM other mods.
When one creates a topic here, it's best to substantiate the claims with opinions to support the claim.
So in this case, we're saying lousy; so pls speak out your mind on why "lousy".

If there's no further elaboration it would be a pointless thread which is more like an emotional raging.

Thus if there's nothing more to discuss; I'll close it down.

MBB - Average. Nothing special about them except M2U.

CIMB - Some branch are good while some sucks. CIMBClicks is pretty good too I must say. Im starting to switch to CIMBClicks more as its faster and doesnt pick browser.

UOB - Very good service because not much people use it, but I already terminate my account with them because need to have minimum amount in it, if not will be charged a small amount.

HSBC - Also very good but their internet banking sucks la. I dont know why the security pincode device generated numbers also out of sequence one. Always have to call to reset the sequence. Good as in their customer service and also their CC.

PBB - No need say anything. TOP CLASS!!!

If ask me to choose, I would say either MBB or RHB is the lousiest. I still remember those 2 RHB branches in Jinjang and Kepong before their upgrade sucks like hell. Queues are long and difficult to find parking. AMBank in Kepong Baru also same problem. Slow like shit.

The best no need say liao lar. No one can beat them, not even HSBC, UOB or Citibank. The winner for me is PBB. FAST and EFFICIENT.

Hands down, Maybank. Off the top of my head;

Inefficient - Always long queue at their branches. There was once I waited an hour plus before I get my turn at the Bukit Bintang branch. Just horrendous.

Messy and lousy system - Always some unknown misc charges.

Absurd - There was one time I wanna open a joint account with my mum, they asked me for my birth certificate to prove our relationship. rolleyes.gif

Unknowledgeable - Whenever u ask them (branch staffs) some questions, they are either not sure or ask u to wait and then check with some other staffs.

Snobby - Unfriendly staffs with extremely poor attitude; some are borderline rude.

Hong Leong is a distant second for me.

PBB is recently voted the Best Asian Bank. Beating the best bank of every country in Asia include singapore, china and japan.
I agree wif ur bold part. There was once i ask one of the staff abt SSPN acc, she told me to wait and she go into somewhere asking other ppl. I waited for 20min, got fed up and ask the staffs around where is she. They just say duno. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Let me share my past experience of PBB service.
There was once my parents n I goin to PBB for normal banking service. As we passed thru PBB, my dad was shocked as he saw the bank was so crowded. Therefore he asked my mom to queue and take the no. 1st while he go and park his car somewhere. Tis time my mom got shocked as once my press the no. and jz 2 to 3 minutes later her no. was popped out at the screen indicate which counter she should go.

definitely

Maybank is the worst.

once i went to help me friend create a new account at the Maybank near APIIT in TPM.
since we were both 21, we just show IC and can create new account.

But the "smart" lady serving us insisted on us showing our student ID and passport for whatever reason i never knew.
Even after we told her we were local and above 18 so what for need student ID and passport, she still wanted to see it.
Needless to say we just left.

also their new M2U is web 2.0 but the even better part is that our gov wanna skip to web 3.0 instead. Shows what the bank is doing with money.

also after 3rd transaction each month you get charged , and they also charge for some crazy shit every other month.


CIMB -
I have no complains except that i always mistake the uptown branch for a hotlink center. and end up have to drive back to get to the bank.

AMBANK -
only complain i have is that they will always bounce my cheque if my name on the cheque is not 100% matching with the account name.
even when 1 alphabet is missing or misspelt they call me to collect my bounce cheque, no matter whether the acc no. hp no. is correct as written on the back of the cheque.

The question is very subjective. I've experienced all types of services from various banks and it really depends not on which bank but rather which branch of a bank and which employees you have to deal with.

I see a lot of people knocking Maybank and I wouldn't have disagreed but visit their branch at the Curve and you'll be pleasantly surprised how good their service is there. CIMB Curve is also exceptionally good. In fact the service in CIMB Curve is so damn good (it is their exemplary branch after all) I wanted to transfer all my main accounts with them straight away but in the end, my decision was to stick with Maybank because face it, Maybank not only has the widest accessibility, it has the best online banking as well ...hands down...no competition.

Ah of course, that is in my personal opinion. Quite a few other banks have pretty decent online banking which can do pretty much most of the things that most people would need. I base my opinion though in the sense that M2U has been around for such a long time and it has been reliable throughout the years with a relatively stable platform. Best thing is they constantly strive to upgrade their online banking facilities. Once again though most importantly is it's accessibility. There is a reason why people prefer M2U over other banks for their online transactions. Payment facilities like ipay88 and FPX no doubt has bridged the gap a lot in recent times but there are still a lot of areas not covered which M2U (and I notice recently CIMB Clicks) makes up for. You just have to look no further than at the Garage Sales section to see what I mean.

PBB. They will ask you to actually personally go to Penang to withdraw your FD. Only in my case, different town and branch.

I got so mad that I called up PBB HQ and of course, they say the officer dealing with me was wrong and apologize. But the damage done.

Otherwise, PBB walk-in service for everyone is absolutely the best there is.

in my experience,the worst bank ever is RHB....

I got a housing loan from them few years back and entitled a free holiday package ... so i faxed over a few dates to book and they said they will faxed and e-mail me the confirmation letter ....... however i never receive anything from them ... i called their cs 3 times a day from morning til evening but no 1 answer ... feeling tulan i go to their branch and asked ... tht dumb cs say she dunno anything bout this so i request she call the department involve n clarify ... then she say she dunno the number n she ask me to call myself shakehead.gif

how come a banker dunno cs internal line no.? she think i stupid ar ... so i get more tulan n call cs every now n then ... after dozens of calls finally some1 answer ... i asked y i didnt received any letter n she said she e-mailed to me ... i check but nothing n at last found out they so dumb they left out an alphabet in my e-mail address ... so i say "y u ppl din bother to call or faxed even an e-mail has been sent??? when u didnt receive any reply from me,u shud haf called to confirm if i'd seen tht e-mail" and their reply was " we already sent , so we dun care already" ... and the best thing when i ask them to resend " oh the letter was expired so your holiday was consider rejected , we cant issue anymore letter " vmad.gif


imho,hsbc is stil the best bank

cc a lot benefit,annual fee waiver very easy,cs very good
for the internet banking i think the security device works better than TAC ... no nid to request and wait ... i;ve tried maybank n hong leong ... sometimes waited 1 hr onli got the tac doh.gif

My take on this topic is that the staffs are just doing what they are trained to do ... like robots.

Maybe "withdraw" FD means something else in their training guide, try using the word "uplift" FD. my 2sens.

For FD in M2U, you can do online and auto debit back to your account when FD matures. biggrin.gif

You read what the mod wrote. So don't slam Alliance unless you explain why rolleyes.gif

Anyway my experiences with various banks - Maybank, CIMB, Alliance, StanChart, HSBC - have generally been positive. Of course there are black sheep among the staff, but I've no complaints.

One thing I can tell you fellows. If you think Malaysian bank customer service are bad, try using UK banks in UK. On a scale of 1 to 10 and if Malaysia is 8, then UK is 2.

I have deal with HSBC in both countries so I know what I am talking about.

Which generally true, but I am pretty sure that is not so with HSBC. With UK, everything is via telephone and I vomited blood talking to several of them, not just one. In Malaysia, you have old fashion human to human contact with flexibility and they can't be all bad. AFAIK, I am not the only one complaining.

wow and they pay my friend 300pound a day just to do UAT :/

Btw...I think HSBC also sucks in Msia ...dunno la..i went to the kepong branch be4...they make me wait 1hour just to deposit money thru the counter. (no line in sight to mind you) IN the end i didnt even get to bank in thru the counter coz after 1 hour i think it was just too much a wait...ended up using the cash deposit machine which is quite tedious becoz of the many 50bucks notes!! So maybe its not just uk.....its HSBC?? :/

so far i didn't face any lousy service from any bank, all of their service satisfied me

but for my mum's story for AmBank and OCBC:
my mum need to query the mortgage loan behalf of the company, she visited OCBC and AmBank in their office, both of the bank manager doesn't really entertain my mum because she doesn't look rich in looking, and they didn't answer properly what my mum was asking, their behaviour is so rude, how can they judge their customer based like that. vmad.gif End up my mum was approached by Public Bank's Loan department manager, actually he was told by my neighbour which is a staff in loan department, he came into my house and explained the details of the mortgage loan, in the end the loan of RM2mil approved without any much hassle.

Maybank - my hometown is a small town, basically many old people doesn't know how to read english, so when the FD meet the mature date, normally they will withdraw it, now is the important part, the staff will withdraw the FD money and put into Unit Trust, since those old people can't read, so they will sign any form available, after years only realised their money invested into Unit Trust, there gone their hard earned money doh.gif
another story about my friend who wanna open a bank account in Maybank Sunway branch, it took him 2 hrs to open a bank account, reason is there is no staff in charge is not available doh.gif

BSN - CNY is coming, my mum tried to withdraw cash in the counter, the staff told her the bank running out of cash sweat.gif mind u is just few weeks before CNY

I think i already have countless experience with Maybank Rude Service Staff already. The question is whether i want to be continue harassed by their low IQ or should i just withdraw my money out and save it in to other Bank.

Do you guys know that FD can be uplift even in other branches?

All you need is to inform the current branch you are located to sent a fax to the branch you open . It just ABC . It can be done in Stan Chart but why can't it be the same as Maybank. The reason is that ... Malay Tudung Girls are bunch of moron and they are Black Hearted widow like we owe them something . The girl dare to answer me back that this is Maybank and not other bank ..." no wonder Maybank Service Sucks for attitude like that. I think they forgot where their salary coming from? Our Saving and investment!

Well, I proof her wrong when i get the General Manager to do it. Wa! Lao!

What kind of Malaysia Boleh Spirit is this...

Time to move my money out from Moron Bank. Everytime i go there, i sure kena Heart Attack..

hi tan,

well i think the bank function as normally if your journey is define from A to Z. Almost every bank able to provide good service from A to Z because they follow protocol.

But try something different like requesting the example as below.

1) Go to different branch and request to uplift FD.
2) Go to different branch and request a print out your atm transaction.

This services not provided in the other branches other than where you open the account. Even some staff will never go through this process as it is deem to critical to assist the customer .

What we are looking forward as a customer is
1) Extraordinary people who do extraordinary things
2) Quality Manager
3) Manpower
4) Professionalism

And you know what, almost everyone that deny the services to me are Malay tudung lady . they have evil kind of look when they reject this service. Somehow, i always get it done when i shake the whole bank with my loud voice .

The moral of this story is...

It can be done! I don't see any problem dealing with chinese staff in OCBC at all.

I was once in a different city from where I stayed and placed an FD with PBB. Then I went back to my residential town and guess what? Residential town PBB told me to take an air flight and go back to the original city to uplife my FD. Even though I told them I only wanted to uplift FD and transfer to my saving PBB account.

Public Bank had one of the lousiest FD facilities.

1. Cannot do online placement, need 2 open an FD account at branch 1st.
2. No auto transfer 2 saving account upon maturity. Need 2 goto bank to transfer otherwise auto renewal.
3. Lousy FD interest rate.

Compare with Maybank, its out.

I use PPB online, they have some good features like ability to filter credit or debit transactions and also through PBB online you could top-up your Public Mutual funds.

But their downside is when I use their interbank giro PBB oline charges its quite high, RM2 per transaction. Meanwhile HLB online charges for Interbank Giro just RM1.

And every time you made an FD online, you still have to go to the branch to personally pick up the FD certificate. And if you lost the FD certificate, very troublesome unlike some other bank.

I hate this the most. biggrin.gif

That's why don't bother to place a FD with PB.

Previous online placement with Maybank2u was still acceptable whereby you no need to fetch the certificate back and it'll be kept at the issuing branch.

Every work that requested them beyond their job function, the staffs are able to make their own decision.

" Tak boleh"!
" No" "
" Sorry ! you can't do it here"
" Company Policy"
" the law say so"

Guess what? Malaysia " Tak Boleh"

All bank Staff = CEO . Making decision out of their heavy BUTT.

I don't have acct with other banks except Public Bank and Citibank. I'm happy with the service by PB but not so with Citibank.

Citibank -- issues I have/had:
1. I have not receive the Debit card that should replace my Citicard. They said 'it will take 2 months' to receive the said card.
2. I went to their bank and personally fill-in the change of address and phone # because I moved. The staff said, my details will be updated in 4 days. After 3 weeks, my details has not been updated. I have to make a follow-up via email and in 24 hours, they did the update. I wasted my time in going to their bank and fill-in the form.
3. I inquire via phone if they have secure credit card (FD pledge). The staff in credit card department said "Please call our credit card department in KL". I'm in Penang BTW. I phone their KL office, no one is available to respond most of the time. After few days, I phone them again but this time, I choose to connect to their "deposit" department and finally, I spoke to a person who have idea that their company, Citibank has secure credit card option.
4. I hate automated response of their phone system (press this, press that thingy). PB's phone line is better (at least here in Penang). Customer Service answers the phone in seconds.

Public Bank issue: No issue with their service. I can only hope that they will add more rewards or promotion for existing customers.

I got a very bad experience in Maybank Jln Yong Shook Lin during banking hours a few years ago.. not on the people service but the Cash Deposit Machine. When I was depositing RM2k, the 1st 1k went in without any problems but one of my note was crumpled.. so it was rejected. When I tried to cancel and re-deposit again, the maching hung. I went inside to complain and said they will check the machine and let me know after they tally with their daily accounts.

Next day I went they said there was no irregularity.. I was damn dissapointed.. how can the machine swallow RM1k and somemore showed no irregularity? I suspected that the person who opened the ATM machine simply took the cash, since there was no record on the transaction. Until today I have some phobia using CDM. I know to some people RM1k is very little but at that time it was my hard earned money.

* On another note.. I still find most of our bank's front staff lacking in friendliness.. when I was in Australia every bank that I went to greeted their customers with a nice smile and 'g'day.. how're u today?' but in Malaysia mostly muka masam.

Hi, I just wanna an opinion, and your personal experience, to know if i'm the only one experiencing ultra unreliable machines or is there many others, who have to made repeated trips to one bank just to get a chore over with?

As a typical working young-Malaysian, i have numerous banking chores to do every month after i get paid...these chores includes car loans, personal loans, housing loans, insurance, credit card debts, savings etc etc...i'm pretty sure alot of Malaysians like me, have the same rountine once they got paid every month...

The list of banks i carry out transaction with every month (number of years i've been servicing the loan/debt):

1) Maybank - (>1yr)
2) Stan Chart - (>5yrs)
3) Citibank - (>7yrs)
4) Hong Leong Bank - (>3yrs)
5) Alliance Bank - (>5yrs)
6) CIMB - (>3yrs)
7) RHB (wife) - (>3yrs)
7) OCBC (wife) - (>3yrs)
8) HSBC (wife) (>5yrs)


no less than 8 banks i have to go to every end of the month. That includes those i carried out on behalf of my wife.

like many ppl, i normally carry out my banking transactions after work, so i don't have to be in the queue paying over the counter.

And from the above listed banks i go to every month..HONG LEONG BANK is the WORSE of them all...their bloody Cash Deposit machine is CONSTANTLY 'Not Available'

for past 3yrs i've been banking with HLB...and i think, about 80-85% of the time...the stupid bloody machine is down...worse of all, in most location, there's only 1 cash deposit machine, unlike so many other banks i've been to...i made a complaint to them a couple of years back...for the same reason...they sent me an email, and then someone from the bank actually called to assure me they will do something about it. about 1.5yrs later, they did...i made a complaint about the uptown branch, they upgraded the machines there, but nothing has changed...i still have to visit a few (at least 2 normally 3) HLB branch before i can find one machine that bloody works...most of the time..i'll give up after trying at 2 diff branch. Its just so not worth it and its BLOODY frustrating!!!!!

yesterday, i was on the road for more than 2hours...going branch by branch...trying to make a bloody payment thru the machine. i was at
A) Tmn Maluri branch - machine down mad.gif
B) Taman Midah branch in cheras - no Cash Deposit machine rclxub.gif
C) Tmn Connaught - no Cash Deposit machine doh.gif
D) Tmn Segar (leisure mall) - machine down vmad.gif

Today, after work,

A) Puchong Jaya - super duper long queue (cos only 1 machine) icon_question.gif
B) Tmn Taming Jaya - machine down WTF????!!! rclxub.gif

their machine down rate is truly unbeliveable...i go to so many banks every month, and HLB is the only giving these types of problems...i honestly do not understand why...cud it be they use outdated machines...machines that nobody wants...recond machines? or they simply make wrong mistakes all the time with their machines??

other banks, like Citibank, Stan Chart nvr give me such problems...the others, maybe twice its down in like 50 visits! but HLB?? Its like 5 times every 100 visits, WHEN ITS ACTUALLY WORKING!! icon_question.gif i don't know how they can get use such unreliable machines...is it the brand? the manufacturer? or they nvr maintain often?? goosshh..

Good news for me is that this will be my last payment to HLB...i'm so glad i won't ever have to deal with HLB's machines anymore bye.gif ...and needless to say, i will nvr want anything to do with them anymore...3yrs of frustration is enuff for me...

i'm going to write a formal complaint letter to HLB, so i do need anyone here to give me feedback, if they also face similar problem with HLB or any other bank for that matter. I want to really write them a kaw kaw letter...send to one of the top management ppl and let them screw whoever maintaining the system up the ceiling...

thanks for reading & feedback

Well, i think what we've got fed up of is not about the bank but the attitude of the individual employee of the bank.. It's the problem of the workers themselves.. Definitely every bank wants its employees to serve clients in the best way, however the bank can't control the employees' attitudes.. So, we shouldn't complain about which bank provides the lousiest service, but which employee has attitude problem..

And i really sympathise on those banks which their good reputations were pulled down by their "GOOD" employees.. The first one in my list certainly goes to stan chart, the globally well-known bank amongst all.. I was so surprised when i saw people complaining about stan chart in this thread... ohmy.gif

Ya, about the cash deposit machines - they are really sensitive.. sometimes even some new and nice notes still they reject.. and even though i hardly use the cash deposit machine, i dislike it because i'm worry about case like DannyOP's might happen..

Overall, i think that it's a matter of our luck to meet a banker with good attitude or a deposit machine which accept our notes without any problem..

I've been having problem loggin into CIMBCLICKS lately.. it has been a week.. My colleague experienced the same thing.. I dun think the connection was the problem.. neither the browsers.. tried all browsers, IE, mozilla, nestcape, safari, chrome.. and end up having the same problem.. they had this big promo for cimbclicks, but too bad its not as good as it should be.. I'm not saying bout the functionality, but more to accessibility.. its really frustrating when after like 10 mins, u've been forced to log out when u're not even logged in..

Btw, i find maybank has a good online service so far.. Not much comments on their physical services coz didnt go to counters that often.. When it comes to human touch, most of the time there's probs associated with it..

The only thing i dun understand about maybank is, why they imposed to much fees for this and that, and the most absurd thing above all is when ure charged extra 50c when u've done 4 withdrawals fr the atm..

The service is slow, they are arrogant. And their online banking is killing time slow.

I got a very bad experience in Maybank Jln Yong Shook Lin during banking hours a few years ago.. not on the people service but the Cash Deposit Machine. When I was depositing RM2k, the 1st 1k went in without any problems but one of my note was crumpled.. so it was rejected. When I tried to cancel and re-deposit again, the maching hung. I went inside to complain and said they will check the machine and let me know after they tally with their daily accounts.

Next day I went they said there was no irregularity.. I was damn dissapointed.. how can the machine swallow RM1k and somemore showed no irregularity? I suspected that the person who opened the ATM machine simply took the cash, since there was no record on the transaction.  Until today I have some phobia using CDM. I know to some people RM1k is very little but at that time it was my hard earned money.

* On another note.. I still find most of our bank's front staff lacking in friendliness.. when I was in Australia every bank that I went to greeted their customers with a nice smile and 'g'day.. how're u today?' but in Malaysia mostly muka masam.
*
klutch,

i think danny just pointed the difference between the good and bad customer service. need i say more! any way, i don't intent to continue banking my money in this bank anymore so i don't have to feel mad or write complaint letter to teach them . After years and years of operating a bank, simple guideline also cannot follow...

My money will go to this bank...

1) OCBC
2) Stan chart
3) PBB ...but also depend on the crowd.

I don't think all the people here are talking about branches anymore for Maybank Services. It's almost happen in every Maybank branches and it's not only now. It's been a couple of years now.

I've been having problem loggin into CIMBCLICKS lately.. it has been a week.. My colleague experienced the same thing.. I dun think the connection was the problem.. neither the browsers.. tried all browsers, IE, mozilla, nestcape, safari, chrome.. and end up having the same problem.. they had this big promo for cimbclicks, but too bad its not as good as it should be.. I'm not saying bout the functionality, but more to accessibility.. its really frustrating when after like 10 mins,  u've been forced to log out when u're not even logged in..

Btw, i find maybank has a good online service so far.. Not much comments on their physical services coz didnt go to counters that often.. When it comes to human touch, most of the time there's probs associated with it..

The only thing i dun understand about maybank is, why they imposed to much fees for this and that, and the most absurd thing above all is when ure charged extra 50c when u've done 4 withdrawals fr the atm..

CIMB will have this problem during month-end. My guess: the system cannot cope with the amount of users sweat.gif

CIMB can match Maybank in tern of that too after merger with SBB.

I found a very small issue with one of the PBB services yesterday, while reading their Flexipay form and speaking to PBB staff biggrin.gif

The Flexipay form is at http://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/images/flexipay.pdf
It says:

QUOTE
• It’s easy, just call or fill in the form to enjoy PB Flexipay


then it also says:

QUOTE
Call 03-2176 8000 to inform our customer service representative. Alternatively, you may fill in the form
provided and mail or fax to PB Card Services (PBCS) at Public Bank Berhad, Perkhidmatan Kad PB, Tingkat 10,
Menara Public Bank, 146 Jalan Ampang, Peti Surat 11722, 50754 Kuala Lumpur. Fax: 03-2163 9400.
Please do not mail the form if you have faxed.


Since I have a big purchase few days ago, I thought to try the Flexipay service of PBB (it's one of the PBB card members benefits.) So I call-up the PBB's card services phone # because they said it's easy, just call. To my dismay, calling them is not the way to do it but... fax the Flexipay application form hmm.gif
No problem at all to fax a form but again, it's a glitch/issue on PBBs side. Why write in their form to simply call but in fact, customer require to fax the form. Again, just a simple issue. No one is perfect. smile.gif

I still like PBB.

the fees are all standardise by bank negara.. we are talking about OTC and customer service..

maybank is exceptional because they have high volume of transactions per day.. but that doesnt mean they can neglect

I think Maybank and RHB provide the worst services.

Firstly, most, if not all, of the staff there are not polite. When I want to apply for something like credit card, the staff there doesn't entertain me as if I want to borrow money from their father.

Secondly, for RHB bank, I applied one credit card because of its cash rebate for every petrol station in Malaysia. I applied in September last year (2008). I only received the credit card last month (February, 2009). The promotion already ended last December (2008). I don't think there is a reason why I want to use the credit card. So, I had already cancelled it three days ago...

The worst bank > CIMB Bank. Their tellers are super slow even if the queues are not long. Customer service staff are not friendly at all.

Standard Chartered Bank is also very slow. There simply are too many people and sometimes they took 30 minutes just to entertain one customer shakehead.gif

Another complain would be the newly opened Public Bank branch in Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu. I always like to go to this branch to update my passbook because this branch is so new (just opened for business in mid-August 2009) and the customer flow is low. So usually there is no queue at all unlike the other five Public Bank branches also in Kota Kinabalu. But there is this stupid young lady at counter 7 in this particular branch who is rude vmad.gif Will definitely lodge a complain if i bump into her again next time.

Generally i am fond of Public Bank but i think they really need to install more ATMs and CDM. Very often the ATMs run out of money at night around 10pm while the CDM has no more room for more cash on Sunday because it is full. I went to the newly refurbished Public Bank branch in Bintang Walk early this month and i like it very much. Last time they was only one ATM machine in this branch. The newly renovated branch now has a large express banking lobby (ATMs, CDM etc.) and i noticed they have reserved 12 space for ATM and CDM. So far they have only installed 1 ATM, 1 CDM and 1 cheque deposit machine there. Hopefully they will soon install the rest.

one particular RHB staff in gaya street are rude. i didn't recall my C/A number as i goes to collect my first cheque book. so i provide name only. She ask me to provide A/C number, i say i didn't recall. She got the huge eye looking and doesn't look happy at all. and say provide next time. wth, no need to show me that face.

cut those staff meeting in the morning. its useless.

the gaya street Maybank can still improve. OCBC is good service.

I can't refer which bank is the "lousiest" because a bad service usually comes from inexperienced staff at there. So, i can't really blame the "BANK" because it's not really their fault. They just unlucky to hired a lousy staff.

RHB .... definitely since i encounter a few more bad exp thr ... if u c my older post , i had some issue regarding RHB mortgage n their Cs ...

after tht i encounter 2 major problems :

1) i wanna withdraw some money thru my passbook ... when i go to the counter , i pass my passbook n the withdrawal form to the teller , then the teller say i nid to write the amount in words oso ... so i say "i dun haf a pen can u fill it for me" ... she juz put the form n a pen on the counter then say "no" shakehead.gif ... help customer write a few words oso lazy ... some more show me the black face as if i purposely gif her work

2) this time i went to the branch to change my signature ... so i was refer to the officer in charge of CA ... tht rude officer say she is bz n ask me to come later ... ok fine , i ask her politely wat documents i nid to prepare since its a partnership company , i'll prepare everything then come bek tomolo , she then suddenly mengamuk , say its complicated , tell me go bek n come when she is free , she will call WHEN she is free doh.gif so i bcame tulan , i ask for another form , i say now i wanna close all my accounts in RHB be it personal or business , then onli the branch manager come out ... she ask y wanna close , i say ur officer dunwan serve me so i go to other bank who wanna serve me la ... after tht the manager take out 1 form , i sign on it then finish ... the particulars oso no nid fill , the manager fill it for me ... she juz check my ic n thumbprint .... obviously wat i wanna do juz take less than 5mins , i wonder y the officer at the first place wasted more than 10mins to mengamuk

as for good service , i would say HSBC ... althou i closed the account ( transfer to SCB for higher interest biggrin.gif ) i still miss their service ...

1) i went thr b4 CNY to change some new notes , quite fast n the teller very polite ... she even fill in the forms n everything ... i juz sit thr n sign the form ( hafta gif IC oso la ) ....

2) when i close my current account , thr is an OD facility , so they nid 2-3 working days to close this facility b4 issue a cheque to me ,RM-A attended me n say she will call me as soon as the OD facility is closed. So after 2 days , since im around the branch ( already 4.30pm ) i juz went thr n ask bout my cheque ... RM-A who is suppose to handle not ard so another 1 helped me ... she check everything n sy cheque can b issue liao ... then during the time im waiting for the cheque , RM-A came bek n saw me , she come to me immediately n apologize coz din call me ( reason she checked this morning but OD facility stil thr , might haf been closed in the afternoon ) .... i think she say more than 5X sorry ... (well , im a customer who close my account n et they stil serve me well , i reckoned this is wat we call good cs )

Totally agree with you but the teller service in HSBC Kota Kinabalu is a bit slow sad.gif Both the tellers in HSBC and Standard Chartered are very nice and friendly, just that they are very slow compared to Public Bank.

I personally have not had much problem with Maybank. Yeah, their service is a bit slow. Most frontline staff aka tellers are Kadazan/Dusun and Malay here in Sabah and they all are friendly. Just that sometimes when processing my request they like to talk to each other about something else that totally has nothing to do with bank such as which kopitiam sells cheap lunch or which restaurant is having lunch promo now and much more. Other than that they are all fine people and they always greet me when they see me and thank me just before i leave the counter biggrin.gif

Definately Maybank. If Maybank did not have Maybank2u I think they could easily lose 25% of their customers.

Lousiest service I have encountered

RHB at Air Itam, Penang

Went there to open a join account, after fill up the form etc, both of their card readers at counter can't read my IC.

"Encik..our card reader sudah rosak lah"

So, what are you gonna do now ?

"Sorry lah..encik. kalau macam tu, kita tak boleh buka account bagi encik.

I am so furious. What a stupid bank with stupid system and staff. Card reader can't read your IC. So We can't open account for you. How do you open account last time when card reader wasn't invented ? I didn't argue with them though, it's useless to argue with cow...just work out without saying a word.

Yeah. RHB Bank always insist we can only perform a over the counter transaction only if our MyKad or their MyKad reader is working. Maybank is not as fussy though. When the chip on our MyKad can't be read, they will ask you to show them your driver's license instead. Then they will photostat a copy to keep as a record.

I don't know abt lousy service, but my best service vote goes to HSBC.

Everything I do online. No queue, no hassle. Also a special mention on their tele-banking service, very proficient.

yup, most foreign bank do trest their cust. polite and patiently compare to local bank...
foreign bank have their standart of requirement to achive cust satisfaction...
yet, most M'sia stil prefer local bank, Maybank and CIMB due their easy to done transaction...
but its depend on the cust behavior also, cust also need not to be rude to the bank staff rite hmm.gif

Let me offer my share of stories about banks i've come across

Alliance - Somewhere in the late 90s. Forgot to retrieve my ATM card after withdrawal. Lost RM500. When i check with the bank, there were no irregularities. This is when i realized the money will dispense even when the card has not been removed from the ATM. The best part is when you push the card back into the machine, it doesn't require a PIN to withdraw money for the 2nd time. So when i left the card on the machine and someone just need push the card back in to withdraw money from my account.

BSN - Did a monthly saving plan with this bank. Matured after 2 years. Withdraw the savings into another bank. The teller told me they are only allowed to interbank transfer 20k and i have to take the remaining 6k by cash sweat.gif although her colleague told her she can do 2 times interbank transfer. She ignorantly said it is not allowed and gave me the 6k. Hesitantly, i picked it up and proceed to the nearest Maybank. I bank in 5k into a cash deposit machine and it got jammed!! shakehead.gif Worse the bank is already closed but some staffs are still inside the bank. I knocked the grill and ask the security guard to get a staff to help me. Hesitantly, someone came and ask me to fill up a form and got my money back into the account the next day. sweat.gif

AMBank - Apply for loan. Rejected but never bother to inform. You just wait til forever comes. Happened few times.

Bumiputra Commerce Bank (Now CIMB) - Went to change my 567 pieces of RM1 coins when it was announced it will no longer be accepted. The teller said they can only take maximum RM500 and ask me to fill up a form. When i read through the form, it says i'm declaring myself exchanging more than RM500 in RM1 coins. So i ask the teller the form says i'm declaring myself exchanging more than RM500 but why refuse to accept my balance 67 pieces of RM1 coins. She refer to her manager behind and the lady manager spoke loudly to me from her desk, 'There you are having more than 500 pieces with you so you must fill up the form.'
I replied 'But the form says i'm exchanging more than 500 pieces. You are not taking my balance 67 pieces.'
She reply again loudly from her desk, 'We are taking maximum RM500 and you must fill up the form. Some other bank are not even accepting.' I quickly fill up the form, took my money and left. So much written in the newspaper every bank must accept and exchange the RM1 coins they came upon. What a farking policy and a farking rude manager.

Other banks i have had account with:

Maybank - Using M2U so no need to go to the bank for banking. Generally 100% using M2U for banking purposes. I know their CS sucks though but the online banking covers it all.
Citibank - My credit card is with them. So far so good. CS respond is excellent all the time. 24 hour banking.
HSBC - Oklar
Public Bank - Oklar

HSBC doesn't impose limited withdrawal for PowerVantage. The account fee will be automatically waived if you have RMxxxxx inside HSBC, be it in Time Deposit or your PowerVantage account.

The limited withdrawals only apply to HSBC Toprate Savings and HSBC Amanah Savings Account-i. Refer to the table below.

Eh ? RM10/mth ? I thought the monthly maintenance fee is either RM5 or RM15 ? RM5/mth is for the E-chequeing one and RM15/mth for complete one.

You need to ask them what is the minimum deposit limit in order to get the monthly maintenance fee waived. If i'm not mistaken, for the complete one with a monthly fee of RM15, the monthly fee will be automatically waived if you have at least RM65,000 in deposit with HSBC. As for the PowerVantage with E-chequeing facility only, the RM5 monthly fee can be waived if you have at least RM20,000 of deposit with HSBC.

standard chartered malaysia in general is very slow in service. i was told by one of the staff they're still using some old system while others have ugraded theirs. so, slow system translates to lousy service. very slow. regardless if you're their priority banking customer.

citibank i find them too rigid. almost inhuman.

As far as I know, Bank Negara Malaysia imposes different regulations for local and foreign bank. So some features offered by local banks may not be offered by the foreign banks because of this, and not because the foreign bank is not capable of doing it.

Huh? 50 cents charge for every 4th Maybank ATM transaction! R U serious? Anyway, my vote in this category goes to Mayabank.

I had a bad experience with Mayabank about 5 months back where I used my ATM card in the cash deposit machine. I didn't realize it until about 3 days later that my card was missing, so I panicked and called the bank to cancel my card. Next day I went to the branch and despite my negotiations, I was charged rm10 for a replacement card.

mad.gif 2 days later, the branch called me to say my ATM card was retained in the CDM and ask me to collect from my home branch. doh.gif

Japanese banks (in Japan) offer the best counter service as the tellers are friendly & they smile & thank you for banking with them (especially female tellers, service is like air stewardess class) unlike tellers here, bad attitude, no smile, slow & no personality/charm.

For Public Bank. ACE account is the only account that you do not need an introducer.
- RM3000 to open an account
- A monthly paper statement
- RM5 service charge per month should the monthly average balance is below RM5,000. Otherwise no service charge at all
- Interest will be paid for all balances exceeding RM5,000 and credited monthly

So far based on my experience, NONE are good.

1) Maybank - applied a gold Amex charge card but got rejected. I know I more than qualify (income >RM20k/mth). Heck, I was even given a Maybank Petronas credit card yet I got rejected for a charge card?? I learned later that they lost my application form.

2) CIMB - applied for a CIMB Enrich Mastercard to collect miles. My experience is most of their partners don't even know about their program. Infact, many partners are unhappy - that's why many leave the program ...even MAS. So at places that you spend money, because you thought you'll get bonus miles, you end up getting nothing.

When I road to Nazir Razak, their head of credit cards wrote back denying everything but sent me leather stuff for appreciation.

You see the PayPass terminals by CIMB at fastfood outlets? Tried to use that once at KFC in Pavilion and the manager told me it doesn't work, i.e. just for show.

3) HSBC - I'm a Premier customer and that means must keep more than RM200k with them. I was given a Relationship Manager (RM) which service sucks and he's only interested to sell me stuff.

I applied loan with 3 years lock-in, he printed agreement with 5 years lock-in instead.

He didn't fill up full-auto-payment for my credit card application as instructed and I ended up paying late charges.

Supposed to get free magazine when I joined as Premier customer but he lost the form, etc. etc.

I talked to the branch manager and he showed his concern but until today, nothing is done about the RM or to correct the screw-ups I suffered.

I did, that's why I spoke to the branch manager. He said he wanted to personally "rectify" all the screw-ups and then change RM for me - at first he actually suggested all 3 of us sit down and talked about it. But until today, he himself has done nothing ...same attitude. I even wrote an email to the Premier department but never got a reply. Sigh!

I've contemplated moving to Stanchart Priority or CIMB Preferred, but I like HSBC's online system, i.e. the ability to view even overseas bank accounts.

The good news is that Standard Chartered will also have the same feature in December rclxms.gif However, they do not have any retail banking operation in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, North/Central/South America.

So far i had my worst experience with Maybank, Public Bank and RHB Bank. their counter service is so bad and the service is so inefficient. the waiting time is so long and the staff at all these three banks were not helpful, sometimes the Public bank staff gives the look that they are so great that they can choose to do or not to do business with the customer. that is what my mother feels as well, banking seem never easy with these three banks. these kind of experience i had it in their branch in Genting Klang

To share with you all, my lecturer said Citibank banking is good because very fast counter service and very friendly staff smile.gif For the KLCC branch

Scam victim seeing red over bank’s lack of urgency


I HAVE been a victim of an Internet scam. Upon realising an hour later that I had been fooled into paying US$1.88 because I was unable to find the website, I immediately made a call to Maybank.

I had to wait for more than 30 minutes before my call was answered. This was way past midnight. I was then redirected to the credit card department and during this time, I had to wait for another 10 to 15 minutes. A woman staff then informed me my card had been charged three times within an hour amounting to RM220.

This was the point where the frus tration began. First, I was advised to check with the merchant if they were fraudulent. Further to that, I was asked how I knew the website would use my card to do any unauthorised transactions, and how they could know my security pin.

The call centre then proceeded to tell me that all Maybank online transactions require a password, which I am not familiar with.

Finally I conceded to pay the abovementioned charges, as all I wanted was for my card to be cancelled to prevent further unauthorised transactions. Now here’s the cherry on top of the whole debacle. I couldn’t cancel my card because it was not lost and because I couldn’t prove that fraudulent charges had been made to my card.

I now had to tell her that I had just dropped my card in a drain and wanted to report a lost card. Five minutes later, her superior told me he had to charge me RM50 for losing my card.

Where is the comfort of security for credit card users after they suspect they had been duped? Plenty could happen between midnight and 8.30 in the morning.

What’s the purpose of a call centre if I still need to make a formal complaint at the nearest Maybank? Is this standard procedure?

D. SOON,
Kluang.

Hi all, beware of Maybank!

Last month, I lost my debit card and would like to replace my card at Equine Park Maybank branch. I was told by the bank official that due to my account was opened at penang branch, so they need a piece of statement (i dun know wat statement is that)from penang branch then only they can proceed my replacement. About 45min+keep asking, just to wait for a piece of paper fax from penang to selangor. Fine! But, after i finish sign all the documents then only the officer told me THE FAXING SERVICE WILL BE CHARGE FOR RM10!!!

IDIOT!!!

vmad.gif wanna complaint bout RHB again ... is it when this already bullshit bank got worse when KWSP came in? all government department also hafta make watever they involved to transform into something worse only they satisfied?

i got a letter from RHB said my current account is dormant. This account with OD is applied when i got my house loan with them. So since my mum is going to RHB , i asked her to bank in some cash to activate this account.

When my mum came bek , she told me the CS at RHB say cant bank in. Hafta go there personally , inform the CS , run a thumbprint check , bank in some money , then only the account will re-activate. WTF , last time SCB oso no nid so mafan , juz bank in money will do ma ... y this bloody bank so many stupid rules. some more they dunno their CS damn 9 slow , everytime go thr hafta wait so long. wasting other ppls time.

so i tulan , i said juz close it. The Cs said if wanna close , hafta write a letter. Then i said i come , u draft the letter then i sign. Answer , Cannot. then i ask any account closing form? answer , no. ok fine , so means i gif a letter ok liao? no , after gif letter , wait OD terminate , then fill in close account form , then onli can close CA.

standard chartered, recently opened a priority account in KD with them, and their services is the best! very friendly and efficient.

maybank has good M2U online banking system and their CS so far havent given any problem to me. services in TTDI i must say is fast and good too.

RHB, i used their services when i was studying few years back, but decided to close it because they charge RM30 for each online transaction which i find it very very very stupid, BANNED.

cimb, recently also opened an account with them in KD too, but the particular so-called 'financial consultant', other than her pretty face, i really doubt her capability to do anything.

1.requested a facility thru her, it took almost 3 months to processed with lots of excuses. no choice have to push her to the max.

2.ask her help to apply DA is also like been thru hell, if she so lazy to do or follow up then she should have let me know, i dont mind to do it myself, because i only want result.

3.lastly asked her to close a current account for me until one week later is still not being done. i personally went there first thing in the morning, surprisingly saw her being early and was happily chatting on her mobile but she wasnt aware i was there. i straight took a number and went straight up to the counter to request my account to be closed and money to be transferred on the spot, was about to make a scene when i realized she was so lazy that she didnt do anything about that account. but fortunately for her, the floor manager handle the situation very professionally, so i let it pass.

but for future loans, accounts, facility...etc with this bank, BANNED! what is the point if they give good rates when their CS cant even do things right. might even rugi more if imposed by late charges.

As far as i am concerned, this is also the ONLY bank that will scan all the money handed to them at the teller counter even if you are just trying to deposit a few thousands Ringgit in cash sweat.gif All other banks such as Public Bank, Maybank, CIMB Bank, AmBank and Standard Chartered all do not even bother to scan it even when i try to deposit more than RM10,000 of cash at the teller counter.

Got the most stupid service at the Pariah Bank - Public Bank vmad.gif

My bf wanted to open a FD account there. Went there about 1sth lunch time, the officer ask us to come back at 2pm cos the customer service officer went out for lunch. Never mind that. Then, we came back, waited for close to 30 minutes - because there is only one customer service officer, despite 4 counters. Then, it was our turn. The machine can't read the chip from my bf's ID card - vmad.gif u noe wat the officer say? "u need to change your ID card only can open FD account?" vmad.gif wth?

Never mind, then we decided to withdraw the money, have to wait for 30 over people only our turn vmad.gif when it was our turn vmad.gif the officer say we can't withdraw more than rm10k wth? it is our money, and the actual person vmad.gif is present to withdraw the money, can't be done? vmad.gif dam mad

despite all the awards and titles vmad.gif that this Pariah Bank has gotten, what type of service is it giving? vmad.gif

That's strange, even BSN got a quota of 20K a day withdrawal.

For me the worst bank would be BSN, no bank draft no nothing, it's a bank for poor people.

You should lodge a complain regarding this matter to the bank HQ as there should be at least one customer service officer on duty during lunch hour.

It is the same with Maybank, CIMB Bank, RHB Bank, HSBC and many other banks. You cannot open a new account or withdraw your money if their system cannot read your MyKad.

That is because your boyfriend's account holding branch is not at the Public Bank branch you and your boyfriend at this afternoon. For over the counter inter-branch cash withdrawal, the maximum limit per day is only RM10,000. All other banks have similar rules but the maximum limit is different. For example :
- Maybank > RM25,000
- CIMB Bank > RM50,000
- RHB Bank > RM5,000

If you do the withdrawal at your account holding branch, there is no maximum limit. You are allowed to withdraw any amount you'd like.

You really should lodge a complain about the absence of all customer service officers during lunch hour. They are not allowed to leave the banking hall without anyone at the customer service desks. Clearly they have violated the company's rules.

After reading all the post here, I see diferent people complaint diferent bank and seem like all our bank are no good. I personally think there's no such thing called best or lousiest bank in this world cause every bank has their own flaw. Always remember, human are not perfect so dont expect bank customer service to be perfect. They are human too, you know? sweat.gif

I will say Hong Leong Bank because staffs is rude argue scold customers and irresponsible and always look down on young customers.

Some more very lousy services especially for credit card matter and statement always reach late than the due date and "TIPU" our interest.

Hong Leong Bank send reminder letter after due date stated in the mentioned letter asking to contact the incharge person while assigned a credit agent to collect on behalf while there's a lawyer letter coming at the same time. When call to the incharge person she say she is not incharging on the case and ask to contact another person, then when call to the "another person", he say no longer incharge, then I ask who should I look for to settle the case and they say don't know. but the credit agent as the outsider (not from Hong Leong Bank) keep calling asking for the payment which they charged wrongly on the month with 8 months interest some more. I ask the agent how come then he say he don't know, he just collect on behalf only and insist must pay on the day he calling even wrong.

TIPU interest plus waste my phone money.....lousiest bank compare to other...

BSN & CIMB obviously bad. Bank rakyat is in the list too. Havent tried bank islam yet (dont dare to rclxm9.gif ).

Public bank should be good - but i have met with their lousy staff & officer once. Wasted a lot of time just to buy a piece of bankers cheque. cry.gif

In the end - it is the staff who bring down the name of the bank - if they got lousy attitude

further to that, last year, when my bf wanted to open a FD account with his under-18 years old brother name as second holder in Public Bank, it is not allowed - because will need parent's name; but this problem is not an issue in other banks like CIMB, Alliance Bank and Eon Bank.... vmad.gif

Bank service is not lousy or bad, it is the person the human who serve you is giving you lousy service. Please understand that before blaming on the bank itself. Please talk to the manager of the bank if you're not happy with their service and point the person out infornt of the manager next time. You have the rights to do so, remember that also. cool2.gif

what you said is true. but i also believe the way the employee behaves also depends on the how serious is his/her working attitude, professionalism & the working culture in that particular branch. if they were able to survive this far, i bet their supervisors aint much different actually, with that particular branch.

maybank at kpmg tower!!!!!! 6 counter there but just open 3 counter, then the staff too slow motion... 10 numbers have to wait for almost 45 minutes, then process a TT need to use half an hour...
Some more, fax over the document to the branch and call to confirmation, no one answering the call, after they call back to you, they just directly scold you why never call to them to confirm the fax..... W**...

erm... i think the employee are essential element in the bank. if the staff not working efficiency, then it might affect the bank service performance too... and dun forget GOOD SERVICE FROM BANK'S STAFF also one of the "product" promoted by bank.. therefore there are linkage btwn bank service and staff who providing service. :p

I have to agree that Hong Leong bank is 'TIPU' people bank, I have dealt with so many banks, other banks may have suck customer service, but Hong Leong is the only bank so far which deliberately mislead and took advantage of me.

I do know how it feel when being treated badly but do remember, we dont live forever, dont take all the matter too serious and you will live happier. The only solution you have is closing your account and move on to another bank's but the truth is that won't help neither.

I think you are working in bank huh???

Yes,every human isn't perfect but everyone has to be responsible for others and also ourselves right?! if the banker treat you on "that way" is all because he/she moody on the day then you think it's fair to us as the customer or to some who innocent? if nobody complaint then how the bank can improve or notice their staffs giving sucks services on behalf of the bank itself? is about professionalism.....if you as the banker don't have what it takes then better don't work in the bank or any other service sector.be your own boss and be bossy la...see how is the return and if you still can survive then wish you continuos "good luck"....

p/s:I'm not saying anyone here just some advice to the bankers

(is it if we as the customer moody on the day then we can simply scold our banker?cannot right?then why the banker can?we as the customers also human what???) doh.gif

My vote goes to Hong Leong Bank.
I hate most of their staff attitude.
Use to have a company current account there, but they mess up my payment by not processing my cheque. Due to that, my client keep complaining about the late payment and bla bla bla. Call them up, and they don't follow up for me and instead keep my case KIV for 2 weeks. End of the story, I close my company current account.

My vote for satisfactory services :-

1. Maybank - My company current account, mb2u is good for paying bills
2. HSBC - CC and private banking
3. AMbank - Savings and private banking
4. Public bank - Car loans, housing loan and commercial property loan

i tried to issue a cheque to clear up the amount then let it close itself. but its dormant. so since they nid me to go to the bank to activate i might as well close it sonce im thr.

anyway , settle with the bank manager liao. i realised these idiots onli work when u scold them n better yet if u scold their boss.

went thr n show the letter to an officer , same thing she pass to the manager then say my wife haf to some together.below r some brief about our conversation :

rhb : you punya wife kena datang la
me : kena kerja la kak , ingat semua orang senang sangat tiap-tiap hari boleh datang ke?
rhb : tapi ini bank punya rules
me : kenapa hsbc takde problem macam ni? sama juga sudah cakap either 1 to sign. kalau u suka boleh call my wife to clarify la ....
rhb : alah , janganla samakan kitaorang dengan bank lain
me: kalau dah tau bank sendiri ada problem , ikutla cara orang lain. sekejap nak doc ini , sekajap nak doc itu , berapa surat yang u orang nak?

rhb : okla , sekarang i tutup u punya akaun then transfer the balance into u punya saving. boleh?
me : macam ni kan senang ... thank you.

c ... actually they can fix the thing very fast. but everytime they must make u tulan then scold them onli they wanna do. they dun realised this way had wasted a lot of time n their reputation as well? i juz think tht they try to push this n tht so tht they dun nid to work so much ... stupid bank

It seems the customer service there doesn't know what to do. The process only takes 5 minutes. I have been to some which would take you the whole day.

rhb : okla , sekarang i tutup u punya akaun then transfer the balance into u punya saving. boleh?

LOL ! You should have told them you'd like cash because you now want to close the savings account as well. If they ask you why ? Tell them : "malaslah i nak tengok muka kamu" laugh.gif

i have many bank account, CIMB, Maybank, OCBC, Bank Islam, and BSN.

Staff at Maybank branch at my place like to take their sweet time. attitude of staff at Bank Islam is...very "unprofessional"

BSN, theres no need for me to describe. hoepeless.

CIMB is perhaps the best, good customer service. same as OCBC.

But, even I can use their phone to call CIMB's call center, I dont think so the staff can allow me to stay there for long long since she may need to use that phone too.

Usually when we go to their office to enquire something about our credit card and if there is a need to call their credit card centre in KL, they will let us to call using their office phone.

Supposedly they are not allowed to but banks in Malaysia nowadays as much less stricter and there simply is nobody there to enforce the rule. I see people talking using their cellphone all the time inside the bank and no one is asking them to leave the bank's premise, not even the guard. Remember the days when all the teller counters had grilled and a thick tempered glass on ? All those are gone as far as i am concerned ... well, except for some government owned banks such as BSN sweat.gif

I go to these banks in Perak, Pahang, N Sembilan, Johor & Selangor. Some more frequent than the others.

1) Maybank - crowded like pasar malam, hence the service is also the same standard. Some staffs provide good customer service, some dun. Depends on luck. Generally i dun expect much, & i dun go to pasar malam very often.

2) Public Bank - crowded like kopitiam, hence service is quite efficient. U get served promptly. Most staffs are friendly, like meeting ur frens in kopitiam (not only 1 branch, i've mentioned a few branches in the states above).

3) HSBC - like cafes. Efficient service, good customer service, very professional manner.

4) StandChart - Nice ambient like a posh restaurant, but not comfortable getting too close sitting next to the staffs. I like to maintain my personal space when dealing with strangers.

5) HLB - service is slow, internet banking not convenient, canceled the saving, current & credit card accounts. Dun wish to have anything to do with HLB.

Ooooh Maybank? That is normal.
Sometime I wait until 30 minutes during day time (not lunch time and not dinner time) pun tak ada orang answer the call.
After 11pm lagi teruk. I was been told by the customer service only 2 persons are on duty.
But, American Express (by Maybank) is very much better. Waiting time usually not more than 1 minute.

if u were to sit at dataran maybank after lunch hours; around 230 to 300 you can see many of their staff coming back from lunch, taking one or two shopping (jusco) bags [which implies they go shopping at midvalley]....and you will understand how "efficient" they are..........

It is very much a "which BRANCH of Which Bank offers the lousiest servce". Is not about the bank, is about an individual branch usually.
The maybank in my area is quite pro, as good as the HSBC branch office in my area..

Just notice this topic. Re-paste my previous comment here.


1. HSBC - 9/10 (User friend & secure internet banking, well maintained ATMs, competitive loan rate, call to check when unusual usage of credit card, good gift offer by credit card, clean and less crowded counter etc)

2. Public Bank - 8/10 (supper efficiency counter service, well maintained ATMs, competitive loan rate etc)

3. Hong Leong Bank - 5/10 (idoitic computerised generated letters which nobody cares to read before they send, regular breakdown of ATMs etc)

4. Standard Chart - 4/10 (telephonist that did not follow instruction to stop junk smses even after 5 calls, forcing credit cards to your throat with own activation even you did not apply, you deposit money to reduce loans they give u free credits ask you to spend more and buy their unit trusts, their unit trust sales gals/boys call financial planner/consultant whatever - nice title though, instead of saving reducing debt they ask you to spend buy unit trusts, simply claiming issurance charges to your loan account without your knowledge and have to write letters to ask for refund etc)

5. Maybank - 2/10 (3 paxs waiting took half hour to clear the counter, 2 hrs waiting to replace ATM card till I gave up withdraw all left rm1 to auto close, ban for life thereafter, ATM always breaks down can 2 deposit machines at the same time so ask you to come back other day)

As of today, I downgrade Stand Chart to 3/10 for never cancel credit card that I never apply, never call back, after so many calls still send junk smses to ur hp.


In short,

Maybank - Top lousiest local bank

Stand Chart - Top lousiest foreign bank

After loan mature, I'll transfer all money out from Stand Chart and ban for life. thumbup.gif

Thks for allowing me to say my peace biggrin.gif

Maybank is the worst so far.
ATM machine looks normal, once enter card, screen pop up " not in service, perkhidmatan tergendala" and my card get stuck. I observe for around 15 minutes, the screen turns normal and second victim has their card get stuck. I called Maybank customer service centre for 4 times, finally got ppl answer. And yet they asked me to make new atm card, at which chargeable on my own cost for their error. Furthermore, their banker's service is extremely dissatisfying.

hmm... my experience with RHB was and continues to be bad. despite beeing in priority banking. once the housing loan is paid or refinanced i will cut all ties with them. they are by far the worst from all the bad banks we had to deal with. they lie, dont answer questions and shouted at me for asking questions pertaining their contracts. i complain and the branch tries to cover up. had to use very aggressive matters to get the issue on the table (actually had to go through bank negara!) but the chap who was responsible for all this still works there. go figures how much they care. well needless to say we terminated all accounts besides the ones still serving under contract.

so far alliance bank has been good, understanding and accomodating to us. two complaints have been handled swiftly and satisfactory. wish their interest on the current account was higher though wink.gif

I thought OCBC was good, but they frustrate me. They bring me rounds. They keep insisting me to call the customer service, which CANNOT give me answers, but need to file in to the loan department. Why all the hassle when I can directly call the loan department? When I called the loan department and knew that I am the borrower, they put me rounds and I end back with the stupid customer service officer vmad.gif

guys, i want to share my bad experience about EON bank service, the kota damansara branch.

i make a bank transfer (TT) to Taiwan RM500, i paid the transfer charge as well. when the money reach my customer in taiwan, they claimed only receive half of the amount.

I check with the EON bank, their answer is: "oh, there is another charge of transferring money from our Taiwan bank agent to your customer bank account in Taiwan". F**k them. When i did the TT transaction at the counter, they didnt told me about this charge and the filled in form & transfer slip didnt specify this kind of charge.

This is mafia way of service. Or worse than ah long service.

Please advice me, how to bring this case to the government, or should i dial 999 ? I want my refund.

That's because it is a government linked company ie. partly supported and controlled by govt.

CIMB is najib brother's bank.


Usually chinese put their money into public bank, fast and efficient.

maybank: ok ok only. sometimes good, sometimes bad-slow
my mom wana open acc with them, they asked: makcik, kena bawak photocopy of your ic... being a softie, my mum agreed. the next day, with the copy of ic, they did the biometric & the device can't read my mum's thumb. the asked: mak cik, x bole bukak lah. ibu jari tak bole baca. pergi tukar ic dekat JPN dulu.
WTF............. they don't hv photostat machine inside the branch meh?
summore, if biometric reader can't read the thumb, normally bank hv UV Light reader to reflect the image of IC. so lousy.
when my mum told me dis, i really pissed off. if i was with my mum, i'll scold the kow kow. stupid..

Stand Chart- Slow poke, unorganised, lousy staff attitude- especially PJ Branch. staff is lazy, keep u waiting for 1 hour just to open acc. homeloan charged RM10 everymonth for maintainance blah blah.lousiest international bank service. the phone banking/customer care-no one answer the phone. call so many times, still no one pick up the call.

OCBC- best service, efficient & fast. lovely staff tho.

HSBC- Good, i like......... nice ambience & pleasant staff.

Maybank people are not very pleasant compared to EON people (even their security guard greets you). EON (Kota Kemuning) people are very welcoming hence I feel safe & they somehow make me feel that I can rely on them. There's this Branch Manager from Maybank (Kota Kemuning) by the name of Anita (Malay lady), she carries this unpleasant personally "very snobbish & easily gets irritates" . I guess she sees skin colour.

EON is good in terms of the people are very welcoming. Hong Leong is not too bad either, other's borderline.

I've yet to visit Alliance, Public bank.


Added on June 8, 2010, 11:25 pmHow is OUB? Any feedback? There's one OUB bank opening at Taipan USJ very near my house.

I too have noticed this. EON Bank's security guard always greet everyone walking in and out of the main doors which is really good thumbup.gif

Alliance Bank in my opinion is just vmad.gif

Public Bank on the other hand has very efficient counter service. They have the fastest counter service of all the banks in Malaysia.

It is an okay bank in my opinion except that they do not allow anyone to open any other types of savings account except the e-Account. I've been told that only those who have signed up for their insurance or credit card can open the Basic Savings Account that comes with no ATM card annual fee.

at least it gave a good impression, they will open door for u when u going out thumbup.gif

Public bank counter is the most efficient, back in Kluang there, there is over 10 counters opening during lunch time, they make it so fast, no wonder so many people using their services

maybank the worst, ever!!-
want to purchase car, lots of unrelevant questions from the loan excutive lady..."why buy alza, when still single...or salary must for up to rm2500 for rm51000 loan"

then transfer to her officer-kind of rude/bad manner.

rhb-just approve, just like that.

CIMB good meh? been their customer for more than 15 years, sooo many bad experience, especially at the more upscale branch (with preferred centre). These are worst experience.

1. Onetime go their branch, they look at me one kind. Of course it is workday and i wear slippers and shorts cause on leave, don't want to entertain me. Sit there waiting for my number to come up, the branch manager approach me and say "You want to update book? Then come back later, now peak hours." WTF, I was sitting there quietly, never disturb anyone and I want to make transaction! How the manager can assume I just want to update book??!?

2. Go to their branch, want to take TT form, wait wait, then ask got form? The lady just hand over to me with sour face. NVM. Go fill up and deposit at branch, then the lady at counter charge me RM 20 for TT, i say not RM 10 meh? She go ask this one that one and then her manager only can confirm RM 10. Took me 1 hour to do the damm TT.

3. Want to do checking account, document all ready. He ask me how many accounts previously i have, i say got 2 saving accounts. He straight away say i am a liar, no one can have more than 1 savings! My face also go red and i take out my old passbooks, 1 from commerce bank, 1 from bumiputera bank, then he keep quiet already. The manager heard the commotion and then straight away come and approve the checking account immediately.

4. Another time go to counter do another TT, the woman's face like i owe them money like that. After start entering details, see account figure, then face brighten up. Then offer me this investment, that investment, this ILP and all kinds of things until i have to wait at counter 30 mins to hear her pitch. Say don't want, face become sour.

5. I get a lot of nonsense phone call from CIMB always try to sell me takaful, I always don't want and please don't call, yet they never fail to call again and again. Business very bad meh, until have to harass people like that?

Now I am moving most of assets to public bank, just because my salary is credited to CIMB i am doing transaction with them. Even if I am offered as a preferred status also i don't want mad.gif

Then CIMB Bank should improvise. Public Bank branches are always full of people too but they have a real quick teller service.

That is so true ! Staff are good in most CIMB Bank branches (except that most of them work way too slow) i've been to in Kota Kinabalu except this one with the Preferred Banking Centre. It is the only CIMB Bank branch with Preferred Banking Centre in the whole Kota Kinabalu and the staff there are also the rudest.

Outrageous ! When was that ? Anyway, each customer can now open up to 5 savings account within the CIMB Group.

Not to mention that they are pretty stingy with the interest rate given to their savings products too. Of all the international banks, Standard Chartered has got to be the most generous. What to do lah ... Even Forbes and Economist recently wrote in their magazines that HSBC is a bank that do business mostly with the very wealthy customers and these people always prefer to bank at mega bank with a solid brand and sound foundation rather than the interest given on their savings products. So "cicit" like us who depend more on savings and Time Deposit will always get ignored sad.gif

applied mortgage loan with maybank recently, the officer is bloody annoying and try to flirt with me and keep calling for few times a day to chit chat and using my so called loan application as and excuse. gatal, and brainless. tried to outsmart me by telling lame story and try to find excuse so that can meet up with me again. WTF. im a reasonable person by nature, but dis guy is so fxxkg lame. rubbing salt to maybank's already tattered image...
i applied mortgage with OCBC and UOB as well, and i hv no complaint for them.

SWKian here,
Maybank is the worst I must say. x123235134. Their counter service is hopeless. From Kuching to KL. I went to the KLCC branch to reset my m2u password because too long didnt use. But then they say need the account holder to be present (my dad). and bla bla and wasted all my time because I explained to them what is going on and they still ask me try. My dad called up to reset the password through phone but I still cant get it to work so go to the branch but they say cannot lagi.

PBB Kuching very good. Very fast and friendly people.

I vote Maybank
Credit Card Application 1 months ++
Company apply current account, they wants CEO to pick up the 1st cheque book, authorization letter not entertain. Open new accounts need to wait 2++ hours. But Great M2U. can view all details there. loans,accounts,CC. service very bad, IT ok good

well i've used both maybank and pbb. but so far i've never really encountered any problems with staff from both banks. the staff at maybank ss15 are pretty helpful and far from rude or snobbish in my honest opinion.

I would have voted for RHB but their latest revamp is changing it.

I used to go to this RHB bank in Jinjang Utara and it totally sucks. I never get things done there below 1hr. Its that bad. I can walk in, talk a number, walk to the coffee shop beside to order pan mee (long wait as very good, about 30-40mins), finish eating it and my number still havent arrived. They have changed recently, a lot more efficient.

I would say right now, CIMB is the worse, by miles. Try going there early of the month and you get what I mean. SLOW!!!!

many local banks offer lousy services, almost like govt dept, esp maybank.

Enough is Enough!!!!

I think i already have countless experience with Maybank Rude Service Staff already. The question is whether i want to be continue harassed by their low IQ or should i just withdraw my money out and save it in to other Bank.

Do you guys know that FD can be uplift even in other branches?

All you need is to inform the current branch you are located to sent a fax to the branch you open . It just ABC . It can be done in Stan Chart but why can't it be the same as Maybank. The reason is that ... Malay Tudung Girls are bunch of moron and they are Black Hearted widow like we owe them something . The girl dare to answer me back that this is Maybank and not other bank ..." no wonder Maybank Service Sucks for attitude like that. I think they forgot where their salary coming from? Our Saving and investment!

Well, I proof her wrong when i get the General Manager to do it. Wa! Lao!

What kind of Malaysia Boleh Spirit is this...

Time to move my money out from Moron Bank. Everytime i go there, i sure kena Heart Attack..

" No" "
" Sorry ! you can't do it here"
" Company Policy"
" the law say so"

Guess what? Malaysia " Tak Boleh"

My vote will be HSBC! well...the counter service is not too bad is the phone banking!! it took me so long just to get a cheque book, it is the 3rd week and till now i still not getting it.
So the story begin like this, i called the call center to request for cheque book, they said i dont have tele-banking pin so i have to walk in to make a request for cheque book..ok then, i walked in to request, said cannot, must do via tele-banking so they give me a tele-banking pin. So i use their phone over there to request for cheque book...put me on hold for almost 30min just to put on my request. Few days later, no call from them, so i called them again, they said apparently no request for cheque was put on mad.gif and i am sure mine is current account + saving acc...fine also...i request again.
Then of course, few days later i called the call center again to check and the reply was 'the cheque had already been send to the branch i requested, you wait for the branch ppl to call you'...though finally can get it, happy...but too early to be happy....waited like 3 days later still no call..so i call again, and put me on hold like 20min with no result at all, said have to check the status and call me back...and guess what...the didnt call me back...So fine, i called them again today and said to wait another 2-3 days cos the system dont show status!! Wah.... vmad.gif

Maybank!!!!

Why?

Few months ago I called for a credit card replacement, usually takes 2 weeks for a new card to be ready, I've waited 2 months and decided to call them back, I was promised a phone call back but got nothing for a month(I kinda forget about my card each time). Called again, and the best part came.

I told the lady over the phone my IC number, I was having good mood and was talking nicely ^^ explaining about why my card isn't ready yet, right after she took my IC number, she start to give out my details... she told me my full name, my card type, my credit limit and card expiry date... all this without asking me ANY verification question yet. She said my card is showed up at their system, means its out ready to be collected at the branch.

So I drove to the branch, just to find out my card isnt there sleep.gif

Luckily there is a nice lady there helping me to issue new card and I got it finally few days ago.

Honestly I don't mind about their service, what I'm not happy is that they give out my details. I worked at a call center before, and the 1 rule I'm always being reminded every single time is NEVER GIVE OUT CUSTOMERS DETAILS!

That call not only give my details out, it literally gave out EVERY single detail sleep.gif

Well while we are on that subject, Bank Muamalat and Bank Islam have extremely terrible service. Their staff needs some serious training. And their supervisors need counselling on the delusions of grandeur they have.

Plus some universities force students to have accounts in those banks.Hopefully someone can do something about it

Maybank - Well , my experience has been unbalanced , some branches are efficient while others are just plane rubbish. The worst on my list is the one at KLCC , Although they speak with smiling faces , they really dont know anything about their job. The best is maybank in mont kiara , SOme of the chinese ladies there are quite knowledgeable, but the indian and malay staff need some training

My worst banking experience took place in CIMB Bahau. The staff lacks training!

I just wanted to submit an auto-debit instruction, to let my DirectAccess current acc auto pay my DirectAccess credit card every month.
I am a person who is quite aware of any fees & charges. I emailed card centre and I was assured that auto debit won't cost a cent to client. And the card centre also attached an auto-debit form to me. The form was actually a CUSTOMER REQUEST FORM but customer officer said it will work.

OK, so I printed and filled up the form. When I passed the form to the staff, she looked puzzled, like never seen the form before. I asked "Ada masalah kah?". She asked me "Dari mana u dapat borang ni?"

Walao! "Kamu staff CIMB kah? Direct Access dulu Southern Bank, sekarang under CIMB u tak tau kah?" She was not convinced, then turned to another colleague and asked. Whoah, her colleague also didn't know about this!

I didn't want to waste my time. I said "Tak mungkin ada masalah la, u just submit to your HQ, dia orang tahu buat la". She did what I said. I thought I had the thing done but not yet. The girl told me that AUTO DEBIT will incur RM5 each month, WTF?! Ain't this contradict with Card Centre? I demanded to talk to branch manager. He CONFIRMED that RM5 was according to the bank's procedure. I told him I got different answer from card centre. Then he picked up a phone and dialled a number (don't know what number). After 2 to 3 minutes then only he managed to talk to a person.

The branch manager was polite and gentlemen. After the call he came to me and said that "If the bank decides to charge RM5 we will call you to confirm". OK, done. After 6 months, I have not seen any RM5 charge.

CIMBClicks is very slow too. Since the last couple of months, the online banking portal is down during daytime all the time (complaints are regularly raised on CIMB Twitter). I like how they show our account history transaction. There is adequate information unlike M2U. Other than that, they really need to work harder if they are serious to rival Maybank. CIMBClicks is always down and it is impossible to view our account history transactions past midnight even after it is back from its daily scheduled maintenance mad.gif

Latest news. Supposed today my salary released. So this morning, tried to wake up as early as possible (ATM machine starts operating by 6am onwards) and wanted to check my balance at AM Bank. When I look at the ATM screen, stated "Service Maintenance" sort of. So I went to next door RHB, insert my AM Bank card, keyed in pin, check balance and savings, then the screen showed "Service has been cancelled", and came with a receipt and the card automatically. Therefore, I thought it was just a minor issue, probably had to wait later. So around afternoon, my colleague was quite desperate to withdraw money from AM Bank, and he rushed out once lunch time, and came back with a sourful face. He stated his encounter same as mine. Later on after 5pm, I went to Giant shopping mall nearby m place there's AM Bank ATM, same screen shown "Service Maintenece".

Come on la, now almost Raya, and everyone's eager to get their hands on new clothes and stuffs to celebrate. Even today's Sunday, imagine all of the AM Bank card holders wanted to withdraw cash... what do you think it's gonna happen then? Like me, I'm really pissed off. I ain't celebrating Raya, I wanted to buy my groceries as well as others do. But now, no one with AM Bank card holders to get money to buy stuffs for the damn weekend. How about that?

In addition, I've advised most of my colleagues so they had to bring their account booklet to withdraw money instead of using ATM card by the next day. As I notify them, some of them don't even know where they had placed their booklet. You know how it goes in this generation, all electronics in demand, now... what happened to this AM Bank? No wonder my employer requested CIMB officers to come over my company to have all the staffs open CIMB account. I can't say CIMB is good, but way much better than AM Bank.

Thinking of shopping, now cashless... better off sleeping now until tomorrow, get the booklet and withdraw all the money from the account, and ask AM Bank to kiss my 's' goodbye...

Any AM Bank card holders, think of the incident I've encountered. You don't want to feel the most pissed off day in your life, right?

i am more to using online banking service. im currently using HSBC, HLB, M2U.
I find HLB's the worst. it is unavailable even after 11pm. the only good thing about HLB is the interbank transfer of RM1, which is cheaper than the rest.

If I'm not wrong, actually Maybank has the highest number of ATMs around town. So it might be practical to have a Maybank account (though their service sucks big time) where you put in your allocated monthly allowance in there, so that you'll enjoy the convenience of withdrawing cash anywhere.

Citibank:
Cute chicks/ladies at the bank branches, but I don't have an account with them. I do have credit cards with them though, so far so good.

Maybank:
I shall call them Maybebank. Mentioned above, I deposit cash because ATM convenience. Bank branch service is terrible.

RHB Bank:
Robin Hood Bank. Like one of the members mentioned, uplifting service can be done in any branch, base on this, one of the branch screw it up. They don't have user friendly cheque deposit terminal, unlike Maybebank and HSBC

HSBC:
There suppose to be hot banking officers, but there isn't much. From what I know, HSBC is short for Hot Shanghai Banking Chick. Nonetheless, this bank has work pretty well for me so far. Online banking, SST services are pretty good...like other foreign banks, lack of branches.

Standard Chartered:
Been to the Damansara Uptown branch, wanted to open an account. Slow. The staff looked like zombies...i told myself, "ah screw it, I'm outta there."

Public Bank:
For this bank, just take out the letter 'l' and the name would much better to suit its reputation. Been to one branch to do some deposits and counter officers are like 40 year old grumpy old women. Terrible attitude, one of the branch I been made me as if I'm in a pasar malam with IT Systems

Hong Leong Bank:
My first ATM account during my college. I remember there's this chick...ah well, Hong Leong never attracted me anyway.

to me, RHB and HLB are the worst(s)...

RHB: ask for card cancellation also have to wait > 3 months... (with full payment)... till i personally visit their Collection center @ masjid jamek, then only resolved the problem...

HLB: ask for personal loan full settlement, 3 months also.... cash deposit machines out of service MOST OF THE TIME... the best thing is: Cash Deposit machine reside INSIDE the branch..... after office hour, can't deposit $$ anymore.... What the??

to me, no more RHB & HLB....

i wonder what is the purpose of placing a MACHINE behind the door??? To ease the officer?? so that some ppl can walk in to the branch (during OFFICE hour) and deposit money??? SMART!!!!

Their machines bring no flexibility/convenience to the consumers.....

Wonder why no one mention about OCBC. I'm surprise they can't perform online transactions such as online bill payment like Citibank.

I used to have a savings account at OCBC and their online banking portal do support bill payment but the choices are extremely limited. In a nutshell, OCBC online banking portal is still stuck in the 90s.

RHB and MBB.
Both requires you to go all the way to the branch where you first open your account to get things done like getting a bank statement, replacement of cards etc.

Customer service line so hard to get through and have to go through all the voice advertisements when you call.

wow .. a lot of nomination going for Maybank ( we might have a winner here rclxms.gif )


my experience was a simple and "pedas di hati" one .

I went to maybank alam damai cheras to extend my FD for another year and the lady at the front counter told me to wait for 20mins . She wants to go for tea break!! . The time was 3.45pm . M. I left the bank and promised to never go there again . I also lodged a complaint to Maybank CS the following day.

Later after that i didn't want FD anymore and dumped it in public mutual and ASW

Maybank Taman Segar Cheras , is also same case (a bunch of cows eating grass there in the front counter) and the clerks are always chatting away even in front of the customer. That is a new low for maybank .

So far , good service is from Citibank and Stand Chart

thanks for opening this thread smile.gif

From my point of view, although maybank lots of complain and bad experience with them; one fact we cannot deny it, tat is most of the people still using them. Not bcoz they are exceptionally good but they have the widest network in Malaysia.

As for me, I'm enjoying their services when I lodged a fraud case/scam/or ATM dont come out money; lodge a complain to MBB, take 2-3business days to investigate, they sure return the money 100% if they find fault from their end. Compare to other banks, some banks dont give u a refund, some banks only provide partially refund. For me, what important is convenient!

Many banks are great bank, just when they deal with people and the employees inside, we cannot 100% want them to serve us as we want it to be. But when those "- attitudes" employees take out, mbb services overall its simply a great bank to be with. It's the people not all but some inside makes the banks loose its image not the banking system nor the name of the bank... Juz my point of view... cheerz!

Counter service at CIMB Bank is slow. Anyway, this Air Asia Savers Account is a mainly self-service machine and online operated account. Basically you just need to go to their branch once to open the account and to get your ATM card. Then you do not have to go to their branch anymore unless you want to close your account or to make a huge withdrawal. Please note that this account pays 1.40% of interest and the interest is credited monthly. If you keep an average balance of RM5,000 in your account in a month and make no over-the-counter withdrawal, they will give you an extra RM5 and this RM5 too is credited on a monthly basis.

thanks for the reply yeah i know its an online & self-service account and it interests me bcoz of the 1.4% interest dont think any bank give you that high interest rate if you just got a few hundred in your account.

It depends if there is any other customer ahead of you. I once waited 1 hour 30 minutes before it was my turn and mind you there were just 3 people ahead of me. It took them another 20 minutes to open my account. Public Bank and HSBC surely do not take this long ...

It's true that M2U is almost perfect. I don't have to pay any visit to the branch and I hate to do so with Maybank. I hope to settle everything from M2U and through the phone if I need to perform banking with MBB.

Worst banks in Malaysia in terms of over the counter and ATM services
#1 Maybank
#2 CIMB

Their tellers are slow workers. Even if a branch have many counters, only a few will be open. Their ATM and cash/cheque deposit machines are frequently out of service.

Maybank is pathetic, BSN also, but in terms of statute maybank can be considered worst. BSN is govt owned, so in terms of money spent on upgrading all that, you really can't fault them that much. It isn't so much as to compete with private banks, but as an alternative to us.

Anyway, Maybank.
Because
1) They do not know their products, in-bank staff, tele-CSO. Pathetic.
Happened to me:-
Wanted to get eFD, I didn't have existing FD account.
Based on M2U website explaination on eFD, opening no need to go down to bank. Everything done online, even first time opening no cert.
I applied and after 1 week nothing appear in my M2U account, no deduction. I called the CSO, they tell me need to go down to bank?!
I asked her to open up the website to read the statement for me. End up she get my home branch to call me, the home branch also ask me to go down to bank. WTF?! Honestly. End up they created a normal FD account for me and the first placement is regular FD placement, not eFD.

Stupid!

2) My brother realised that Maybank kept deducting his account for 'insurance'. So he wanted to cancel. Call the CSO, said need to write in. Wrote in, yet still deducting. Wrote in 3 times, end up still deducting, so end up just close the account.

3) CDM at my home branch, only has 1 machine, and that machine ALWAYS out of order (i assume full). Next nearest branch, same thing. Only 1 machine and ALWAYS OOO. Not to mention always have long queue on the CDM because only got 1 machine.

Hi all,

I do have some experience.

Maybank, Seremban 2 - my mum wants to check ex-6months bank statement but i think in the atm cannot trace back because its too 'old'. Then, the staff ask me to fill a form, give then wait for 3-5 days for processing. have to pay lagi. UNTIL NOW, no news... haha.. but i think they did not deduct my mum's money as well. and yea, i apply like 3-4 months ago..ahahaha

Maybank, Senawang - went there the first time, wants to open an savings account. They ask me to fill up the form with the require documents, sadly i did not photostat this and that. I went there during my lunch time, so no time ady i wait for the next day. I went on Friday, with all the documents to open a new account. Sadly, they told me the staff is at lunch until 2.30pm..but my lunch time finish at 1.30pm..i thought maybe its Friday, and they need to go for prayers. FINE! i went on a weekday again... then they told me the same thing.. still at lunch.. swt* 12.00 i go they lunch, so when is their lunch time actually? and y only one person in charge of savings account? Give up hope i went to BSN, sekejap kau tim. actually i'm opening a new account for my salary pay as my company dun accept CIMB. So far, dealed with CIMB in Seremban 2 and also Sabah branch, both are very good and nice.

hahaha..so Maybank is kinda not kind with me cry.gif

CS and OTC services Maybank got to be the top, counted from the bottom. CIMB is very close to it.

Public Bank is somewhere average but they are freaking efficient. I can get my banking done fast.

As for the best, I gotta go with SCB. Haven't try Citibank yet but so far SCB impress me the most. Their online banking and iphone app Breeze is also better than M2U for me.

worst service OTC has gotta be CIMB. damn slow and even few counters open also will have long wait. my advice if u deal a lot with CIMB is to get a Prime Plan account and only go to yr home branch often. they recognize u will faster service plus the prime plan account also got priority queue.

I have opened up accounts with the following GLCs banks, CIMB, Maybank, RHB. IMO, CIMB has the worst service everywhere. I really do not know what there are doing behind the counters. I have to wait for more than 30 minutes with just 2 customer ahead of me! and mind you there are 3 tellers. please do not asked me what they are doing as till today i am still trying to figure it out!

RHB is quite good!

I will cast my vote for worst bank to BSN. Not every branch has CDM machine.

There're two branches in my area. One branch is too small that cannot even fit a CDM. Only ATM machine outside.

The other branch has CDM but the CDM got Windows XP error and malfunction! OMG!

Ppl still using Maybank is bcoz they got the largest networks of branches & ATM machines in Msia compared to the others.

Which bank do you guys think provide the lousiest service.

I have this bank upfront immediately

1) Maybank - TAIPAN (  Usually no one but when i open a FD , it takes more than 30 minutes of waiting time.... i was pissed with the counter staff when i discover my FD is still on the officer table and the officer was doing something else. They are aware of me but y are they doing this...I call this BLACK HEART.

2) CIMB - Another BLACK HEART discover. I called the HQ KL to check if i am able to request my atm transaction printout from any branch rather than going to my Account Bank in Subang Jaya. So i went to Taipan instead and the Counter Staff said that I have to go back to where i open my bank account.. I was pissed and call the HQ KL and clarify... Finally , they insisted the CIMB Manager and the staff to do it in Taipan.

3) Stan Chart- Call HQ KL to check if i can withdraw FD out from Taipan because i open it in FD Penang. According to KL HQ, I can do it but according to the branch, i can't withdraw the money but have to give standing instruction to request penang branch to deliver the cheque to me..
I don't want to sound racist here but most of these people are from one race that you and i already know.....

Worst bank award goes to Hong Leong Bank. You try calling their customer sevice hotline always will get connected to voice answering machine asking to leave down you contact. Maybe want to save cost by being stingy on manpower . When my ATM card swallowed by the machine at LRT station, i call the home branch to check few weeks later, they say not with them. Then i call the branch nearest to the LRT where my card kena telan, the officer told me to apply and pay for a new one! Apparently the machines are outsourced, so the service providers will not return the card to the branch, instead they will destroy it! No wonder my friend who works there say HL cater more for corporate client, they not so keen to serve the mass public.

my experience with Maybank is pretty good. bad experience with EON.

but i think it's really case by case basis. imagine if there are only 2 persons ahead of you but 2 persons are doing some really troublesome transaction (like opening acc which they need other officers involvement and additional registration), that potentially takes up more time.

but generally speaking, people like maybank because they have branches, ATM, CDM, etc all over places.

A few days ago, Hong Leong Bank mortgage centre sent me a letter to inform progressive release. The problem is ... while the letter is addressed to me, the info in the letter belongs to someone else. The letter's content is clearly not for my eyes!

I dunno how their system allow info from 2 different and unrelated customers into the same letter. (The bottom part of the letter is where my name and address is cc-ed, displayed in the window envelope and thus sent to me)

I have alerted their call centre and requested for an investigation and explanation as I, too, currently have a banking relationship with Hong Leong Bank. Though this relationship may be end very soon. This is a very serious blunder.

Bank Simpanan Nasional not exception too,
Went to claim my existing Sijil Simpanan Premium (SSP) to invest something,
It took them more than 30 minutes just a single withdrawal after I had been called by branch tellers,
Not only this case, such as deposit, resolving customer issues, payment collecting and withdrawal also. that applied to different BSN branch too.

Or maybe the other party use your IC to apply for loan as guarantor... better check with bank...
Call centre will not know as they are from separate department... need to check with loan officer in charge of the loan account...
To find who is the loan officer, check the loan document reference number.

If you are guarantor or co-loan owner then your name will be Cc at the bottom of loan documents, while the letter addressed to the main account holder.

This is a very common scam..

Hong Leong Bank is the worst i've been through so far.

I don't want to mention HL. They are the worst bank after merged with Eon Bank. My request to view my savings account online 1 year until now hasn't been resolved for me.

And you know, I can't really transfer or pay anything through online. They asked me to go back branch and settle.

I wanna terminate their services including credit card after my call for cash instalments are finished.
recurring transactions.

Any issue with my age if what I replied is out of question? If you are referring to the termination of credit card while there is still active recurring transactions, then that is just the sub-issue pertaining to the first one in which they haven't resolved the issue I mentioned above.

and FIY, RHB allowed me to cancel my credit card while there is still recurring transactions for instalments. Thus, I do not need to bear the service tax.

And they continued to send me monthly statement until the instalments are finished.

I think Chinese shouldn't be running banks. As all banks run by Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore have the worst online banking system. They (Alliance Bank, Hong Leong, OCBC and Public Bank) are bureaucratic and inefficient compared to Malay and foreign run banks (CIMB, Citibank, HSBC and Maybank).

I'm a Chinese myself and wanted to support Chinese banks, but was disappointed each and every time.

Jadi racial thread pulak biggrin.gif

Let me add:

Malays generally are willing to spend to improve things; to them, experience > $$$
Whereas Chinese are generally kedekut, calculative; to them, experience < $$$

That's why, Malay-run banks generally have good online banking system and service
Whereas Chinese-run banks are more profitable! See Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank and Alliance Bank, they have the industry-leading profitability. Maybank and CIMB pulak have very high cost base and overheads.

From my experience...

Corporate banking-wise, AmBank has served me and my company best - flexible, accommodating, service-oriented. thumbup.gif
But I also have decent experience with UOB... wink.gif
(Local) Chinaman banks pulak...as mentioned above, plenty of red tape, everything also need approval by who and who doh.gif

Personal banking-wise...no comment, cos I rarely interact personally with bankers, everything is done online nowadays biggrin.gif

P.S. - I'm Chinese

Not that we wanted to be racial profiling, but it seems obvious that Chinese run banks suck badly in customer service and user experience, well maybe good for investors, but long run not good for their own image. Just like Apple ultimately killed off all handphone pioneers because Apple focuses on customers, while others focused on profit margin.

Hopefully some Cina-pek bankers can hear this and improve on this. This is speaking from someone who has millions in deposits, and i already closed down all my Chinese bank accounts and moved to as mentioned.
