CIMB Bank staff name intan and femi from sales dept

I received call from Intan who claimed that she only give information regards top up programme on 19 Nov 2019.

End of the conversation, I not agree to sign up the programme but the staff still continue with verification and hang up the call.

I called CIMB hotline again since I curious why the staff do verification even though I not agree do sign up the programme.

After few hours, staff name Femi called me and apologized as the staff provide wrong information. Femi claimed that the programme has been cancelled and my account back to original status (no changes happen to my account).

I have requested him to send email to me for references and stated in email as below:

1) top up programme has been cancel from my account
2) cimb bank promise that my account not impacted due to staff careless
3) staff intan get warning due to irresponsible act.
4) my account back to original status

However until now I didn't receive any email from cimb. I have called cimb today 07 dec 2019 and spoke with staff name Izzat. Izzat claimed that top up programme is still active however he will arrange call back from sales department as he can't confirm on status.

Cimb give me so much problem, why I need to follow up and wasting my time to call hotline due to your staff give wrong information? Your irresponsible staff still working there as usual without any problem but your customer who trusted you and sign up in your bank is suffering here.

I need call back by Sunday 08 dec or Monday 09 dec. If I didn't respond the call, cimb should keep call until I answer the call.

If this time CIMB not do arrangement, I will write it to social media.

CIMB Bank feel cheated - issuance of credit card not applied

18/11/19, I was approached by Jayden from CIMB to apply 1 credit card at CHKL.
He did not explain the card benefits or send a softcopy of the application details for my reference.

27/11/19, I was shocked to receive 2 credit cards mailed to my house.
I felt cheated, hopelessly called his Head, Jeff Chew to cancel 1 of the cards as I did not receive any proper explanations from Jayden.

Jeff did not immediately attend to my cancellation request, but asked me to activate the VISA card, pay RM25 first and swipe 3 times before cashback instead.
He only whatsapps me regarding the matter, and insisted that the waiver is not confirmed(refer attachment).

Due to my frustration and disappointment on their service, kindly cancel both of the credit cards immediately and compensate me RM20 for contact expenses, thank you very much.

Regards,
Chow Hui Hong

I went to applied a new request cheque book for one of my individual current account. There is a lady staff who attended to my queries without taking the number to upstairs. So I did the thumbprint verification and filled in a form for this request. She has informed me about the process will take about 5 working days. So I called to customer service number today 25.10.2019, after 1 week request, however customer service said that they did not receive any cheque book request for this account. I urgently need to use the cheque and these has caused another 1 to 2 weeks delay! What kind of irresponsible service? Where is the form whereby I have filled in on 18.10.2019?

CIMB Bank embarrassing use of terms

I was embarrassed to see my status categorized as block and closed acvount? Iam just started to open an acvount, I gave real documents and information, not fake, maybe using status under review is acceptable but word using block and closed acvount is irritable. Then I cannot fullout my money? What is this a scammed? I apply to be a depositor not a depositor.

CIMB Bank mortgage loan

My mortgage got arrears. Yes i am aware i have outstanding. When CIMB collection call me i never ignore the calls and always answer. I do not understand why they call my office number instead of my handphone. I never gave any concern to contact me through office number during my application of mortgage loan. When i ask the operator they said system dial. System is not operate by themself, it controlled by humanbeng right? i have complaints so many times not to call my office number but thing still happen until now. My mortgage loan is my personal matter and why need to call my office if i never reject call made to my handphone? Want to let all my colleague know that i have outstanding. It is like an Áh long right? looking people until lubang cacing. I do not angry if i try to run away or ignore your call then you find me like that but i never failed to answer your call because i know my responsibility only at the moment i cannot settle the outstanding. i only can pay current month. Please look into this matter or i will get report to PDPA. Thanks.

CIMB Bank lousy customer service

Lousy customer service by staff named Winnie. Upon arrival to the customer counter no greeting or smile. No clear explanation and she seem to be talking to herself. I can't hear what she is telling me. I came again to the counter to verify again but although she noticed me there but being ignorant. I was attended by other staff instead. I'm not familiar with the system as I'm working at overseas and most of my transactions are thru online. Worse customer service and I felt not being respected.

CIMB Bank staff's service in cimb pasar borong selayang branch

Rude tellers.
I went there to register a new account. The lady from the information counter asked me to sit and wait. As they called me, i told them i want to open an account. Then, they asked me the purpose for me to open a new account. I said just to keep my money. Rudely, they smirked and said, "nak buka account kena la ada tujuan." They handled me very rudely. Then i asked again, "so tak boleh buka account ke?" They replied "tak boleh". So is this how they handle customers now?

CIMB Bank customer service

I'm facing such a bad experience today 12/09/19 with Cimb Balakong branch. I go there around 11am today as i want follow up regarding my card credit replacement. Firstly, i've made a report to customer service on 5/9/19 as my credit card damage and need a replacement and asked me to go to nearer branch to open a form and pay a fee so that they can proceed sending the new one. The nearest for me is Balakong branch. Then later in afternoon that day i follow up with customer service people and they said the form still not been updated yet and asked me to wait 7 days working hour and gave me the reference number 1 [protected]. And today exact day after 7 days waiting, the same customer service people call me and said they still didnt received the form and ask me to go back to Balakong branch.. And so here the complaint.. when i reached there today, i asked 2 ladies who sat at the front about my form and they said they dont know anything, dont know who's incharge on my report last week and asked me to look for myself which staff working on that they..when i asked if u guys dont have duty roster, they said dont have..even suggest me to search the face on staff picture..and they continue chatting & playing phone like i was not there..too bad i didnt get their name but as people who sit on front, u should greet and help your customer, and not ignoring them like this..they didnt tried to find my so called lost form.. i am so pissed with them right now..this is the first time im facing with this kind of attitude!

CIMB Bank cimbclick and hotline

At 1st i log in to cimbclick. I cant access after putting ID. The internet WAS 4G. Then i call hotline. Then, the customer service asked me to log in to cimbclick during the call. She said no problem with my cimbclik. Maybe the internet is slow. I hanged up. Then i realize the internet access is down every time i call cimb hotline.For sure i cant log in to cimclick bcause your hotline made my internet down. I recall hotline later after realize all this then they dont pick up.. Fool me this cimbclick. I am wondering what they do with my money while i am not using then in account. I wont allow this happen again since i have quite big balance in this account and i required to use cimbclick application NOW. No consideration for cimbclick users. Please dont treat us customers like this because some of us might be in URGENT SITUATION TO USE MONEY LIKE TRANSFERRING MONEY FOR FOOD OR MIGHT BE TRANSFERRING FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL FEE FOR DYING PEOPLE. I am saying this not because i am one of them luckily, but please think wisely in managing the application that can help people in our community. I am saying i WONT KEEP MORE MONEY IN CIMB AGAIN due to this inconvinient reason. I dont understand why there are rich people working in this bank. I started to negatively thinking cimb uses my money for gaining more money while i cant use my money online in cimbclick (POSSIBLE INVESTMENT, MIGHT BE) for them. If one day cimb is going to be declared bankcrupt, i know what is the main reason. Regret having cimbclick with hotline that fooled me on this.

CIMB Bank credit card

I been using the credit card for years and never late for payment. I paid for the exact outstanding amount and somehow system showing that i paying RM20 lesser . The finance charge for this RM20, generated for RM140 for the following month.
Meanwhile i was not alert and until found out from the statement . Called to bank and the customer service just explained it was due to the RM20. His advice to me was to pay full amount to avoid finance charge which not related to my issue.
Maybe my mathematic is poor and i could't Relate the RM20 to RM140 in a month.
