CIMB Bank bad service of customer request counter

Today, around 3.53pm, I go deposit cheque but the cheque deposit machine (can direct print out cheque picture slip) got problem, cannot deposit. So, I go counter ask for help to photostat the cheque for my account reference. But the Staff ask me pay him to photostat. I told him other staff can help me photostat (the machine always got problem) without pay any payment, why you cannot. He told me (Rude attitide), you go find out staff who can help you but not me, you need my photostat pay me first.
What service of CIMB provide to customer?

CIMB Bank save assured plan

In the 25 January 2017 morning, I was creating a new saving account. The operator had asked me to invest in some kind of "save assured plan" and not really giving me enough details about how it works and the risk. And when I'd asked experts about and knew how it depends on bank share and the risk, I'm disappoint that the operator did not tell me any of the points above, and had somehow charged me the fees of two month already. I don't know if they saw me as a 20 years old fresh teenager and somehow keep some details from me or anything but they've just kind of swallow my RM97 for two months and now my account has just a little left.
I just want to have a normal saving account for salary, why they've asked me to agree on such things without having me consider about it before activating. They should have told me more details first.

CIMB Bank credit card

Recently, my direct access credit card was changed to a cimb card. Because of this, I got a new number, and my monthly standing instruction failed to pull through.

No message, email or even phone call was given to me to notify about my previous direct access being discontinued.

I even went through an annoyingly painstaking process to provide you guys with my australian phone number. Because of your incompetency, not only was I being charged for late payment, due to the failed standing instruction (Rm 74.13) , but, there is also a possibility of my record being tarnished.

If this is the service, why bother continuing?

Please... I mean, please... Be more responsible and dilligent.
This should not happen.

Sincerely,
Disgruntled and frustrated long-termed cimb client,

CIMB Bank customer service

To whom it may concern,

I went to cimb branch batu pahat (39a, jalan rahmat, 83000 batu pahat, johor) this morning, the service provided really ruin my beautiful day in this brand new year.

I'm disappointed with the service provided by your frontline staff. My mum don't understand malay or english, and your staff do not appear try to help, and just give her a number. When I reach the bank, I asked my mum how is the process, she said she don't know how to speak to them, and they just give her a number. Though the number is my birth date, but the bank did not give me any surprise.
I told the other frontline staff on what she wants (Didn't manage to take her photo) , then she throw the number into dustbin. What do you mean? You mean that it is usual practice that you just give number to your customer and ask your customer to queue and end up they queue the wrong line and ask them to move to correct queue again?

I was changing my maybank card at the same time, so I ask my mum to queue for me because my bus is at 10am and these two banks only start operating from 9.15am. Please do not ask me why I didn't choose other days or other time, if I could, I won't want to be so rush too.
And maybe you want to consider to have a machine to exchange new bank card like maybank, so that I won't have to humiliate by your frontline staff.

The initial screening process done by your frontline staff (Black scarf) with arrogant attitude, i'm fine, because i'm rushing, so I accept it. But to the most that I cannot tolerate is, when I ask her for help to expedite my process because i'm rushing for 10am bus, she said she unable to because a lot of people queueing, if I cannot wait, ask me go to kl branch.
What is this? Maybe your staff will need to reinstate the values that you should bring to your customer, as per your website.
Image2. Png

She leave me with no choice, and show me black face. When I see the queue, there are less than 10 people waiting. I ask her if I could withdrawal my application because I really in a rush, she just return my application with black face like I owe her a better service.

I know I won't have other time available, and I wish to change my card to avoid service disruption, I personally go to approach your other customers and ask them for help to let me go in first. And I personally go to approach your bank staff who help your customers in processing their application, I ask them for help to help me expedite because I really in a rush. That time was 9.41am, she said she will help me after this customer. I really thankful that cimb really has an angel with good heart.
After that, I explain to her that I will need to help my mum too, because she don't understand language apart from mandarin, she ask me to take the application form to her.

And then, your very powerful frontline staff don't let my mum to take her application paper, and she took the whole stack of paper come to the bank staff side, and told the bank staff that I came later, so cannot let me proceed first. The bank staff did explain to her that because i'm rushing, then the frontline staff just told the bank staff: whatever you want, the papers are all here.

It is really not professional for you guys to argue in front of your customers. And, perhaps she thought that I do not understand malay, so she did not try to hide, or maybe she just want me to listen to her that she has the higher position in the bank, that's why she station at the frontline.
Frankly speaking, I don't care what position you are, you are in service line, you should know what is the standard service that you should provide to your customer. I'm the customer, I did not shout you, I just speak english to you because if I speak malay I will jam the queue.
If the application really unable to expedite, you speak to me nicely, I won't have to type this very long email to complaint you when i'm on my journey to go back.

I really thankful for the fast process within 5 mins, and I activated my new card, and my dad quickly drive me to bus stand, and I got into the bus without taking breakfast because I have no more extra time. I hope I won't have gastric, otherwise, do you want me to pass you my medical fees for you to repay me?

Anyway, i'm not here to be a difficult customer, I just hope that as a big and famous bank, with so many awards winning in your company, you should train your staff, especially frontline staff to have more humanity. People won't ask you for help if they are not urgent.

I'm in service line too, so I can understand sometimes you really have difficult customer. But, I don't think I am difficult by just asking you guys if you could help me to expedite my exchanging new bank card process, with less than 5mins required. If I were be there to wait and delayed to go into my 10am bus, and the bus gone, are you going to compensate me for the bus fee? But now it's not about compensation, it's about whether I could get a bus to go back because the bus ticket has been sold out.

This is your very powerful frontline staff:
Image3. Png

If you choose to do nothing on her, I have nothing to say.
But I hope you will not receive more complaint, or perhaps no, they will just switch to other banks with better service.

Thank you for your attention.

I'm represent a company base at pj. I have been head to few cimb branches at perak as bercham, ipoh garden, kampar, menglembu & batu gajah. There is no any complications in opening account for my foreign workers whereby the required document attached with the passport.
But, in manjung I have been waited for a hour (Particular booth for open account) and according to branch manager mr fajar, "i can leave now and they will call me back for the account matters after the verification". I even did mention that, I willing to wait because understand the situation of recarding and however need to open today.
I briefed the team, it's not the same I face at other branches but why must be here in such. They using therms "folowing protocol".
Is that the others not following?
All branches the procedures should be same right?
Other branches can open the account but why not at manjung and they need more time for clarification?
It's not the first time I facing this, last year I did face the same issue but ignored them and opened account at sitiawan but today I peace off with the "double standard ".

CIMB Bank housing loan interest

I have been having this issues for quite a number of time. I have walked into KLCC branch and had numerous calls with the collection team but nobody seemed to help me.

I manage to find out by myself that because I had “Tunggakkan” for 2 months I am now being ridiculously charged 7.5% for my interest. This is outrageous. As it is I went through financial difficulties and I couldn’t pay RM1800 for 2 months and now iam being charged RM 3k? Is this fair?

Today I wanted to pay RM6k and when I walked in to cimb KLCC I was told that even if I pay off everything, the Interest rate wouldn’t reduce because it will be there for 6months?!

Below I quote your online services offered but not met or adhered to.
[protected]@CIMB
[protected]@CIMB solution focuses on providing cost-efficient solutions to enhance a company's order-to-cash cycle. Value for funds and information flows for account reconciliation are enhanced via the following solutions:

Today your collection agency staff Cik Faridah was rude and has been calling me everyday with no assistance on my issue but to just collect. I work at night and she didn’t even bother and kept torturing me every morning even when I told her my working hours and my problems she as a collection personnel is not bothered at all to help.

CIMB Bank customer service

On 15th of February 2016, I received a call from a cs employee named Iskandar and was forced to accept an insurance program because I was a loyal customer and stuff. It costs RM75 per month and I said that I did not want it. He kept asking personal questions like what is my father working as and other personal questions that I do not feel comfortable answering. He was being very rude and sarcastic as he said something like 'oh it's fine if you don't want this because we can give it to other poor people who would need it'. I keep saying I didn't want it but he is still forcing me and saying things like my parents would want me to take it. I told him I am still a student and I really don't want to take it. He is rude and kept saying things like he knows my family. The call lasts for more than 20 mins.

CIMB Bank counter 5 for asnb transaction

Pada pukul 10.50 pagi 12 Februari 2016 saya membuat pengeluaran ASB di CIMB Cawangan Sri Rambai, Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang. Saya terpaksa menunggu selama 30 minit hanya untuk membuat pengeluaran tersebut, sedangkan hanya ada 3 org pelanggan sahaja sebelum saya. Semasa tiba giliran saya, kerani tersebut di kaunter 5 seorang lelaki tiba-tiba hendak terkencing dan terus pergi ke tandas. Apabila saya mengajukan pertanyaan kepada Pegawai CIMB yang bertugas yang bernama En. Awaludin, beliau dalam keadaan tidak bersalah dan tidak memohon maaf menjawab bahawa LINE ASB lembab hari ini dan kelmarin lagi teruk 1 hari OFF LINE. beliau juga mengeluarkan kata-kata sinis iaitu "encik perlu belajar bersabar". Beliau juga menyuruh saya untuk ke Maybank atau cawangan CIMB yang lain jika ingin membuat transaction dengan lebih cepat. Tambahan pula nombor yang diberi kepada saya adalah secara MANUAL bukannya ambil dari mesin elektronik. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa CIMB sengaja membuat urusan sedemikian hanya untuk menjaga 'Waiting Time'. Saya berharap pihak CIMB lebih peka terhadap pelanggan dan lebih mesra pelanggan. Saya juga memohon agar pihak CIMB dapat mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya kepada Pegawai Bank Awaludin kerana sifat bongkak dan sinisnya terhadap pelanggan juga kepada kerani lelaki di kaunter 5 supaya membuat kerja dengan cepat dan belajar menghargai pelanggan.

CIMB Bank unauthorised transaction - debit card (atm card)

My CIMB debit card was being charge twice by Netflix without my authorization. First unauthorized charge on 2 Jan 2016, I called to CIMB and the charge being cancelled. No additional action needs to be taken. Second unauthorized charge on 7 Jan 2016, I called to CIMB again and the operator ask me to make a police report and go to the nearest branch and fill in the dispute form. I disagree to the solution as I believe this is not the right way to solve this issue since I already launch the first complaint to them on 2 Jan 2016. And CIMB can allow the problem to repeat again. They should handling this problem seriously on the first place. This is their security breakage. The transaction can be performed by any anonymous even without so called OTP security feature. On 9 Jan 2016, I called to CIMB again and the operator told me to go to the nearest branch and fill in the dispute form. Change to new debit card and cost me RM12. May I know what is the alternative complaint channel as I don't think this is the right way on handling this issue. In fact, the bank should be immediately terminate the transaction, renew my debit card automatically without any charges. Review their security breakage problem to ensure no repeated problem happen to the same user. If anyone face the same problem, kindly share with me. With the current solution provided by them, there is no security for consumer putting our money on their bank as they can't even can protect us from unauthorized transaction due to their security breakage.

I have to pay RM12 for the debit card renewal which I believe it is unfair.

For safety reason, you can ask them to disable the stupid debit card function. I never use debit card to purchase thing. I use credit card instead. So no point they give me stupid debit card function.

If not because my salary force to bank into CIMB, I will straight away terminate my account in CIMB. :(

There is no point for me to get another replacement debit card when the card so easily compromise. How do this merchant knows our debit card number? Why the transaction can be approved without asking for TAC number through our phone? To my surprise, many of us experience such unauthorized transaction by various online merchants twice!

Hi all, same thing happen to me on yesterday (29 August 2016). Please don't depend on our SMART CIMB will refund to you. if this happen, you may request Netflix side to refund back the money to you. You may google Netflix and start Live Chat with their customer service personnel.
I already requested refund from Netflix, it will be done within 7 working days around. (P.S I not yet received refund)
Also, the personnel block my card in future transaction, transfer the Netflix account to my email, sign-out account from all device so that the hacker no longer can use this ID. The best thing is we can enjoy to use this ID for one-month period :)

My card was charged RM400+ for some Amazon prime membership. I received a sms alert me about the deduction at 12.26am. I called up CIMB the next morning and they told me the only thing they could do was to block and disable the debit card to avoid any FUTURE frauds. I told him not to block it first. I asked if I could retrieve the money, the call centre told me to go to the nearest branch to disable the card and to fill in a dispute form. I did as he told, I went to a branch and disabled my card. They charged me RM12 to issue a new debit card. I got the new card done in 15 minutes. They told me I MIGHT be able to retrieve my money in 45 working days, AFTER their investigation. Another funny thing is that when I went over to the branch and explained the whole thing to them, they told me they couldn't find the transaction! It wasn't in the floating charges too. But i received an SMS about it. That fraud was only shown in the system 2 days afterwards, and it was a different amount (differ by about rm20 or so due to the currency, maybe?)

Anyway, i think they handled this whole situation very badly. I have NO CONFIDENCE in their security system now. How can I get charged rm400+ without any security check or TAC, and the transaction was performed in US, and im in malaysia.

CIMB Bank poor service rendered

I am a CIMB master credit card customer. I am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from your Bank. Here is my negative experience with CIMB bank: 1. I called CIMB bank customer service on 08/11/2015 enquire regarding the renewal credit card (present credit card expired October 2015) that I suppose to get but still haven't receive till date. I have been informed by the staff that the renewal card was lost in mail because the card was sent to my old address which no longer there! I know the card was sent out before changing of mailing address but wouldn't Bank can do something about it! How can your bank just do nothing, and not even keep me informed the situation. What you staff did is just block the card and sent a new card, which cause me a lots of trouble to go through procedure of changing my auto debit. 2. In order to express my satisfaction, I have sent a complaint letters to CIMB ([protected]@cimb.com) address to CIMB Batu lanchang Penang Manager on the same day about this and have had no response. It appears that no one reads it. 3. On 10/10/2015, I realized my address postcode was wrong so I called CIMB bank customer service to correct it. Your staff said they will update my info so that card will be sent to the correct address. Unfortunately up to today, there is no new in updating info, and I still haven't received my card. I am really disappointed and upset for the poor customer service provided by CIMB Malaysia.

Opening current account for partnership. After applying and get call to come back to the bank to proceed with internet banking procedure. While come back to the bank look for the person in charge for 40min, she ask me to take number and wait for my turn again. Why wrong with this kind of customer service? Aren’t you all should ask me to take number at the beginning !

CIMB Bank credit card application

At 14.30hrs today 20.10.2015, I feel really unsatisfied and embarrassed with the services provided by CIMB bank at equine park, sri kembangan branch ( code: 1282). The person who attend me is Puan fauziah, employee id number: 0023204 . She is so called customer service officer at the designated branch. the way she treats me was very rude and arrogant. She never gave proper services as reflects by the company motto and she appears does have any product knowledge of credit card application. The staff is not professional et all and this may bring down the image of your organization. I'm really not going to have any account or products with this branch should there is no action taken by the top management. I feel really unhappy and frustrated with the services rendered.

CIMB Bank reload issue (complaint reference number:1-[protected])

Please refer to my complaint number 1-[protected] for further details. I am really fed with issue. My straight question is if your team not able resolve this simple issue like this then what is the need of this service. After several follow up I am not able get a solution for lost money, at-least you people straight away say to me like you cannot resolve this issue at your end. This save my money and time and this will be the most faithful decision of your team. Already CIMB team allocated a executive for this issuer from CRU and there is no use of it. 15-10-2015 she called and told me that CIMB team has resent the reload code to my number like that, but I have verified the same and here by one more time confirming you all I have not received such codes till date. If CIMB really want to resolve this then please give me a call on this number +[protected] at the earliest or else let me the know the final conclusion. Please if your team going to give me one more complaint number, I strictly advice not call me! I have never seen like this ridiculous service in my life. Thanks a lot for all this.

CIMB Bank credit reminding service

Never have I heard a customer service representative talking to the customer in a unfriendly, albeit threatening manner. I received a call regarding my late payment and her tone sounds like the A-long wanting their money back.

I wonder is this how CIMB works? Threatening the customer should there be a late payment? It's never good to threaten or feel threaten, especially when it's between staff and customer.
