CIMB Bank rude customer service

27/10/18 (3.45pm) I have request to cancel one of the VISA credit card due to I seldom use and have to paid extra charges SST RM25.00

I understand that it is not CIMB bank who charge me but Malaysian government . I didn't blame CIMB bank because when I sign up the representative told me no need to paid any service charge because CIMB will absord all the charges with minimum RM200 transaction every month. This is what I have been told when I apply for the card.
I have call on Wednesday 24/10/18 and the representative is very professional in handling customer service. If I'm not mistaken his name is Zainuddin. Once, offer me RM10 SST rebate to be absorb by CIMB bank and RM15 to be paid by myself with the condition I must use RM200.00 within a month. I fully agreed.

After much consideration, as I seldom use the VISA Card, I decided to call CIMB call center again today to cancel the card and maintain another card at least I can save RM25.
The call center representative name's Muhammad Shafiq Abdul Razak, I not sure he's in a bad mode or whatever, The way he's handling customer service it terrible. Sound like if you don't want than I cancel your card now but I cannot guarantee the SST you still need to paid or not . I just help to submit your request only and full stop.
What is this? It is this is the CIMB bank way to handle customer who are cancelling the credit card?

CIMB Bank credit card settlement

I got 2 credit card with CIMB and i wish to settle one of it for this moment. Before I settle it, I called to CIMB to verify that will I get the release letter once I settle this card, the officer told me yes. After I settle the payment in August 2018, I called to request the letter, 1st time, the officer said preparing, 2nd time said sent out, 3rd time said not yet ready due to I still pending settlement for another card. The reason I complaining is not because of CIMB do not send the release letter but is why the first time I verify/asked, the officer said the wrong information to me? I wish to make payment for both cards, but CIMB just wanted the target and not telling me the correct information.

CIMB Bank pdpa concerns

Lately, CIMB been using their customers personal data especially phone numbers to be given to third party for telemarketing purposes. I as the customer of CIMB Bank never give consent to CIMB Bank to give my personal data to other parties and few days ago, it is not only me, but other people also received SMS from 62666 regarding DuitNow. Please take this thing seriously. We have Malaysia PDPA and CIMB Bank should study more and apply the act in your company. I dont want to receive any messages from unknown parties after this. Please be noted.

This is my 2nd letter address to CIMB which is one of the largest bank in Malaysia.
3 weeks ago(29/9/2018), i sent an email complaining about processing of HL Refinancing. Unfortunately, i get a very very bad banking experience as non of the CIMB representative try to contact me for my inquiry. My refinancing application approved by you since middle of July, what is the process or paper work your bank need to prepare & take so long of processing time for just one application amounting RM200K.
Do you think i will recommend your bank to my relatives in future after this kind of service i facing now.
ATTN: Mdm Chen Yen Ling
i hope you can try to solve my issue seriously & immediately.
Thank you for your concern.

He died in 2016 leaving some money in his account.
I contacted Southern Bank Berhad (now CIMB).
I talked to a bank personnel.
She told me to submit details so that I can claim the money left by my brother.
I submitted the documents.
I keep following up thru calls and emails.
But it is not clear to me how the process goes and when I can claim the money.
Please help. Thanks.

CIMB Bank broken card replacement; charge of cards replacement

Hi. Earlier I call cimb customer service and ask about replacement for a debit card that is not function (maybe chip broken). The person incharge said that, there will be no charge for the replacement if the problem is regarding with the chip. There will be charge only for the missing card.

Then I call branch near me, Cimb Gelang Patah, they said there will be charge RM 12 for the replacement although I had the broken card with me. The problem for my debit card is the chip.

Hope CIMB clear this issue to the customer.

Thanks.

CIMB Bank complaint on short-changed of cash from alliance bank atm in servay likas, kk

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to lodge an official complaint on what took place last week during my transaction through MEPS cash withdrawal I made using an Alliance Bank ATM at Servay Likas, Kota Kinabalu on Thursday, 30 August 2018 at 2.57pm.

On my 1st transaction, I performed a withdrawal of RM200 cash but the ATM only dispursed RM100 (2 pieces of RM50 notes) while I noticed the other RM100 note was stuck. I tried to retrieved the RM100 note but the machine swallowed it. I performed a 2nd transaction of RM100 withdrawal immediately in hope that the stucked RM100 note will be dispurse but unfortunately it did not happen.

I have lodge a formal complaint to Alliance Bank Customer Service and they will conduct internal investigation. They have advised me to lodge this official complaint to CIMB to help to expediate their investigation. The Alliance Bank Complaint Reference No: 4007194

I hope to hear from CIMB soon. My mobile no: [protected].

CIMB Bank unauthorized transaction via debit card/atm

On 14 April I received an SMS that RM5.17 was charged to my debit card by Amazon Prime GE. Call the service centre, she adviced me to block the card and fill up dispute form at nearest CIMB branch. I got the new replacement card, then check the status end of April, the RM5.17 was automatically release back to my account on 27 April. So I thought the case won't happen again. However, on 14 May, the same online merchant called Amazon Prime GE charged my debit card with the amount of RM40.68. I had to call the service centre. Then repeat the whole procedure again. Fill up dispute form. Wait 14-45 working days. I called to follow up, this time the RM40.68 was deducted from my account! First time when I reported this matter CIMB should have blacklisted this merchant. When I called to follow up, they still investigating and said no guarantee of refund. May I know why your security system so easily compromise and inconvenience me. CIMB should have alerted when I file a report on 15 April. The next following month I experienced the unauthorized transaction from the same merchant after getting replacement card. What is your company doing and not upgrading yr security!

It did happen to me a few days ago. There were 2 unauthorized transactions occured on the same day using my debit card. The transactions were made at oversea. Somewhere in Dublin I guess. Then, I called cimb cs and told them about this, they helped me disable my debit card immediately and asked me to I filled up the dispute form and get the new debit card replacement at the nearest cimb bank branch. I feel very frustrated with cimb bank security system. After I read ur post as you mentioned those transactions still occur even though you have replaced ur card, I feel insecure and no confidence to use this bank anymore. Why they can let such thing like this happen to us ? How can other people easily use our debit card without our permission. Hopefully, I will get my money refund back to my account bank as soon as possible. Is the same thing still happen again to ur account now ? What is ur action ? Are you stop using the account or still fill up the dispute form and get the new debit card replacement ?

CIMB Bank poor service!!

I went to cimb bank branch in inanam sabah today, to sign up for a savings account. I came at 10.30 am, and got my number. As my turn came, I was told to sit as the officer in charged was still handling other customer. First of all, if the officer was still not available, why bother pressing the next number? I waited for almost 2 hours, but still my case was not handled. I just wasted 2 hours of getting nothing as I decided to just walk away. Because of the poor service of the branch!

CIMB Bank staffs are slow (cimb ytl plaza branch)

The staffs there are slow. I went to prepare a bankers cheque. I gave the document to one of the staffs at the counter. She took the document and left it on her supervisors table without informing her and went for lunch. I waited for an hour before the bank manager (chinese guy) asked the supervisor (malay lady) to prepare the bankers cheque immediately. Before he requested her to do so, I went up to her and asked about the cheque. She told me I need to take number and wait for the front row staff to call. And she said they can't prepare the bankers cheque immediately unless it is urgent and they usually process bankers cheque after 5pm. I was disappointed more than angry. All sort of things went through my mind "is she lazy? Is she too busy? Or was she too racist to even entertain me? Sigh.

CIMB Bank cimb stole money from my account

They debited RM650 from my account without my approval and did not inform me after they debited the $$. It have taken them almost a month to "look into this" and still no conclusion. They kept saying they will expedite the resolution but so far, nothing happened.

They first made the mistake by saying I have enrolled into this new saving campaign (no such record). And then they went on to say I have prematurely terminated the saving (2nd mistake) and proceed to debit RM650 from my account as the penalty (3rd mistake). I have tried to get hold of the manager in charge of the premier customer section but she refused to take my call. This is also saying the premier customer status does not mean anything, the different is you can cut queue.

In conclusion, CIMB can never be trusted. When they debited the RM650 from my account, they did not waste any time. But when come to returning the money, they take their own sweet time. Technically, CIMB is stealing money from its customer, is this the bank we want to entrust our hard earned money with?
