Is Hong Leong Bank legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals Hong Leong Bank as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 1% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, Hong Leong Bank stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering Hong Leong Bank should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

Hong Leong Bank earns 91% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: Hong Leong Bank achives 91% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Hong Leong Bank. The company provides a physical address, 5 phone numbers, and email, as well as 4 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Hong Leong Bank has received positive review on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

Hlb.com.my has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Hlb.com.my has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Hlb.com.my you are considering visiting, which is associated with Hong Leong Bank, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

Several positive reviews for Hong Leong Bank have been found on various review sites. While this may be a good sign, it is important to approach these reviews with caution and consider the possibility of fake or biased reviews.

Hong Leong Bank website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Hong Leong Bank has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 1% of 114 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • You should not trust a website that appears to be parked, especially if you have already paid money to the website. A parked website may be a sign that the website owner is no longer actively maintaining or developing the site, and there is a risk that the site could be a scam.
  • Hong Leong Bank protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

Hong Leong Bank Company account to be closed

There was confusion between Seri Kembangan and Kluang branches regarding the closure of a shared account. The Kluang branch indicated that one shareholder could present to close the account. The Seri Kembangan bank staff stated that all shareholders are needed. This miscommunication caused frustration for the shareholder who decided not to proceed.

Desired outcome: I need an alternative to close the account without the need for the shareholders to present.

28th February 2022

I can't log in to my account online even though I enter the right username and password. Therefore, I decided to change my password, but the system told me to don't enter the previous password- isn't that means I had entered the right password? So what's the reason I can't log in to my account online?

Hong Leong Bank Additional charges tt without prior notification

Hi Sir/Madam,

I would like to give negative feedback for bank services received at your branch in Alor Setar recently.

My mother had gone to your branch on 7 Sept 2020 to transfer some money to me in Singapore via TT. She was informed told by the staff attending to her that there would be a service charge of RM$12 to transfer RM$100k to me and that I will be receiving an amount of $32, 341.53, as indicated in the written receipt (photograph attached).

However, upon checking, I realised that the amount I received is only $32, 321.53 (short of SGD $20). I had personally visited my bank and clarified that they do not have any charges for receiving money via TT. (Photograph of bank statement on amount received attach)

After telling my mother about this, I requested my mother to call your branch to clarify. Initially, the staff explained to her provided the explanation to her that this is due to charges imposed by the Singapore bank. After my mother explained that I have already checked with the Singapore bank that there are no charges imposed for receiving money via TT, the staff then explained that this is KL Hong Leong agent charges and she forgot to inform my mother on the extra charges she is also unsure on the additional charges from the KL agent. After apologising, she ended the call without bothering to explain further.

My mother went back to your branch on 23 Sept 2020 to get the written receipt of the additional charges collected. However, the staff was unable to produce any receipt or proof that extra charges would be collected in addition to the RM $12 that was collected. The staff tried to resolve this by transferring the additional charges (RM $60) back to my mother's joint account.

I am concerned about this incident as additional "charges" was deducted without prior notification given to my mother. This was also not mentioned on the bank's website or the TT receipt for acknowledgement. I have lost trust with the bank's ability to handle our money securely. Is the bank skimming money off from its customers?

I look forward to hearing a better explanation on how our money was handled.

Here are the encounters of my mother with the bank in chronological order:
My mother went to bank 3 times to enquire about transferring money via TT to Singapore.
02 Sept 2020 - She went to ask about charges for TT services, the staff told her is RM$12 and no additional charges.
04 Sept 2020 - She went with all the documents and details, and double confirm that the transaction fee is RM12. There was also no mention of any additional charges.
07 Sept 2020- She went with my father to do the TT transfer from their joint account. Receipt as attached above indicating the money received inclusive of RM $12 and the conversion rate to reach an amount of SGD $32341.53.23 Sept 2020- She returned to the bank to get proof or receipt of the additional charges by the "KL agent"

Hong Leong Bank This is a dinosaur bank. Changing fd interest from yearly to monthly

Every time I come to your bank gets my blood pressure boiling.

Today, we want to make a *minor* change on the FD account (under MM2H requirement) - interest from yearly to monthly. Any branch can make that change in their database with proper ID and documents (we brought original copies with us). We were told that we need to obtain a letter from Ministry of Tourism (MM2H). OMG! Are you kidding me! We're not CLOSING the account.

I thought this is a Singapore Bank and should have been smarter. What a great disappointment!

Everything with this bank is extremely difficult, you've to come back additional 5 times before your request is granted. It's like if you want to travel to Bangkok, the bank will make you travel to Singapore, to London, to Turkey, before landing in Thailand. Great customer service is NOT their motto.

We will promptly close this FD account and go to another bank.

*To ALL new potential customers, I STRONGLY advise you not to even step into this bank*

Hong Leong Bank transferred the good service and high efficiency staff out of the priority banking

I would like to compliment Ms Joanne Wong for her good service and high efficiency. Eventhough, only 1 staff in Priority Banking, and she always have to walk to downstairs to get another officer signature. She still can manage it very well. Unfortunately, Ms Wong was transferred out of the department and replaced by a low efficiency staff. Now the service provided by P.B. is even slower than normal banking. What is the purpose for Priority banking?

Hong Leong Bank Customer service officer/ cash deposit machine

This morning, I have deposited RM12, 000.00 through their Cash Deposit Machine. I put in the RM12, 000.00 cash and machine calculated with a correct amount, once I press confirm button. The machine suddenly came out a message "ATM OUT OF SERVICE". I did not manage to get hold of any receipt.

I tried to seek help from an Indian lady officer (seated 2 places away from number machine), but she just asked me press 5 (Others) at the numbers machine. In less than 10 minutes, the machine back to normal. FYI, there have 5 machines, this is the middle Cash Deposit machine.
I was telling her that she should stop other customers using the same machine, she just can't be bother and asked me wait for my number to be attended by cashiers at counters.

I have experienced rejected by this particular branch cashiers that we need to use cash deposit machine for RM10, 000.00 and below transaction. On last occasion, a cashier rejected me at counter transaction with RM10, 000.00 deposit.

If your branch has a lousy cash deposit machine, do not implement RM10, 000.00 and below deposits using your machine. Not satisfy with your 'tak apa-apa' customer service attitude. I did not see anyone coming out to check on your machine even after I highlighted to your cashier.

I was left with no receipt, only a verbal confirmation from your cashier the deposit was sucdessful. There's nothing she can do about it.

Hong Leong Bank priority banking service

1. FD rate for Priority customer is not taken care of, It's even lower than on line customer rate. What is the priority customer in HLB stands for? No feeling of priority at all.
2. Operation staff in priority lounge shorthanded, only 1 staff on duty. She has to go up and down just to get another staff thumb print. Pitty her. And what about if more customer que up and wait for long time? Still priority?

Hong Leong Bank staff named juliana

I have been doing Cash deposit at the counter for a few years due to my company's requirements.
And there is a new staff Named Juliana always refuse to do the cash deposit for me.
I never cut in line and I always queue till my number.
And EVERY SINGLE TIME, she refused to do the operation for me and request me to go to the ATM to do it on my own. And sometimes I even uses half an hour or above occupying the machine just to do the cash deposit and got irritate by the people waiting in line on my back. And sometimes After I finish using the ATM some of the notes are not accepted by the Machines
So I will have to make it to the counter again just to back in the little amount of money. And she will just change the money for me and asked me to queue at the ATM again. Is it that difficult for your Staff MS. JULIANA to do the cash deposit operation? Or she's just being lazy?!

Hong Leong Bank unsatisfactory of staff branch setia alam - doesn't helpful to customer on solving issues

My staff had went to Hong Leong Bank Branch Setia Alam on today at 14.34, he was there to get a cheque returned and for some queries by then the staff over there doesn't answer for the queries and keep on mentioning " Write a letter to HLBB and they will answer for your queries". Is this is the way of communication to resolve a issue or clarification from your customer? I wonder that we don't need to go to the bank for any clarification regarding to our company account since your staff asked us to write letter. The question that was raised to her is:
- To collect cheque returned CIMB 000060
- Any form or procedure to give a standing instruction to the bank to get a bank statement through mail?
- We already applied for online access but we unable to access to authorized account access due to none of the staff inform earlier to us during the application filled up, so just wonder to check whether we can use the same form to added for online access viewing bank statement or else need to fill up any form for it?
- We had fill "Maker User" detail for online access by then we don't receive one time password from HLBB, so what we can do next?

These are the questions raise out by my staff but it's really disappointing on seeing that there is no improvement on the handling customer and resolve in right way rather that wash hand by not helpful to us. My 2 cents, if the staff unsure of the question, she may ask the manager whom in charge that able to help her but that i don't seen any initiative by the staff at Hong Leong Bank.Please resolve it sooner.Thanks
