Maybank is Worst Bank Ever!

If you’re using Maybank, it’s time to opt out. Here’s the thing.

17th August – Credit Card payment due. Since no payment was made, they blocked my account. That includes any transaction through Maybank2u. And I wasn’t aware of this until pay day. The amount I owe is RM 907, minimum payment RM 130.

19th August – Salary pumps in. I wanted to settle my loans, debts and everything that is on top of my head. Then I realised my account was blocked. Called Maybank remedial service, staff not in. It’s only 4.35 pm and they put me on machine. Everyone went home I guessed. So I called the next day.

20th August – Called them after Friday prayer. Was greeted warmly and explained my situation, that my savings is blocked and I can’t do anything. I asked them whether they can contra that from savings. They can, but they wanted the full amount of RM900.

That’s is a total BULLSHIT! All this while, I can ask them to immediately contra my account for minimum payment. Now they want full!!

I explained to the lady, it’s going to be Raya soon, and I need that money to do my shoppings, food for September, fuel etc. And guess what she said, no. WHAT AN IDIOT. HOW AM GOING TO LIVE TILL NEXT MONTH? DARN IT MAYBANK!

Well, to some extend, I understand that I owe them money but that’s a service. They are gaining from me from interest, late payment charges and other charges. Why can’t you just accept the minimum amount? I’ll pay accordingly later on! WHYY? WHYY ARE YOU SO THICK HEADED?

My car loan is RM 700, fuel to go to work plus highway, close RM700 as well. Lunch money for the whole month, RM 250. Minus other installment as well, I’m dead. At the end of the day that RM900 is going to be used for fuel and lunch money, which I plan to cut and use for raya shopping.

Fine, I’ll just submit unwillingly to Maybank and pay RM900 full amount. They told me, I’ll be able to use my account again by evening. At 4.23 pm I called in to check my status. No one is in! MY ACCOUNT IS BLOCKED OVER THE WEEKEND! HOW MORE SCREWED CAN I BE ?!

Since everything else (other credit card, loans) is due on 21st, which means to say, I’ll be imposed with late payment fees! SERIOUS SHIT. DON’T MAYBANK PEOPLE HAVE MIND TO THINK WITH? Understand the burden that I’ll be facing. Come on, there’s always a way to override it. Don’t make things worst. Have some decency please, it’s close to Raya, let me give out some duit raya this year.

After this shit, I’m withdrawing all my money and putting it elsewhere. It’s never a good idea to put all in one basket. MAYBANK REMEDIAL SERVICE really have to take a toll on this. HAVE SOME DECENCY LAH, UNDERSTAND YOUR CLIENT. After all, I’m trusting you my money here, that’s all a man is really worth (on this life).

ps: It’s not the first time they blocked my account. It happened before.

pss: Let’s just hope LHDN refund my money and NuffNang to pay this month, else, I’m dead!

It makes mbb the most worst and dumb sh*t bank in malaysia. What was i done before, sent my email to all their big2 top boss n custmr srvce dpt regarding my regret. Then they call me at 4.35pm-5.25pm in may 2010. Problem solvd bt it was too late. No one can take our money frm us even 1cent!

Even if I have another account, I can’t do anything about it, since I can’t wire money to the other account.

Eh? Really?

I always have few thousands in my credit card account, and never once I paid full settlement every month. I got my cards blocked twice caused by delayed payment, but never my account.

I have MBB, HSBC, CIMB (with credit cards) and BIMB, RHB, Tabung Haji (without credit cards), and I really think Maybank is the best.

Ko ada musuh kat Maybank HQ ke beb? :)

they have no rights to do this? i aint a lawyer.. i dont know much about all these fuckin law about TOS and shit.. but BANK NEGARA cannot do this to their customers because we hve rights too…
sekurang2 nya bagi notis hantar surat, hantar SMS, buat panggilan telepon… hantar email… there’s just so many means of way for them to get in touch with us… why TOS without prior notifications? do they think they’re great? they wouldn’t be able to survive if it’s not because of our money flowing in their stream, DUDE!!!

you are so pathetic, to me maybank is one of the best bank in malaysia regardless of service, benefits and products. In this case you are the person to be blamed not the company. U should know to manage your a/c , if u do none of this thing will happen. However is not to late to change, let it be your lesson and try not to repeat the same mistake. When u apply credit card you should realize the spending commitment will become high and if you over commit you need to pay the price. This is a rule of thumb.

Neway, there is always tolerance when u use it well and it should keep all your trouble at bay. Spend wisely next time.

Dont call people pathetic out of no where, I dont call you an idiot or anything right? So stop name calling.

Collectively, yes they may be the best bank in Malaysia but how they solved the problem was not right. I had to starve for the month, hitch ride to kampung, even had my phone barred. During raya, I was pretty much at home, I dont have any money to spend. How does that make you feel?

Have you ever got your stuck in flood? No? The total cost for repair is close to 7k and it’s not covered by insurance. In a short time, how can I ever get 7k cash in a blink of an eye? Swipe was the only thing I had to do.

Again, if you drop by any blog, don’t result to name calling. I am expressing my dissatisfaction towards the bank so are the rest.

akum bro, kwn aku pun ade kena mcm lu gak, sampai behenti keja sbb majikan tak nak masuk kan gaji dia dlm bank lain.. tiap2 bulan kena tolak. maybank mmg mcm tu, sbb dlm Letter offer maybank loan, c.card dll, mmg ade satu surat yg kita sign membolehkan pihak mereka menolak mane2 account maybank kita sekiranye bayaran loan kita tertungak. aku pun xtak dulu, bos aku yg bg tau, sbb dia mmg baca letter offer sblm sign. bank lain xde dgr lagi.. aku rasa lebih baik lu gi maybank tukar c.card tu pada term loan, tp card xleh guna la.. smpi byr habis..

memang betul.. ada clause dalam contract/ borang/ surat yang di tandatangani… tapi it’s printed too damn small it is called “hidden clause” sebab dah print kecik sangat sampai pelanggan tak leh nak baca… takkan nak harapkan pelanggan bawak kanta pembesar bila nak baca contract / borang / surat yg nak di tandatangani tuh? sendiri mau pikir la… pandai jer nak memperbodohkan orang, dorang neh…

I agree…i agree.. I totally damn fcukin agree..

just recently, on a bloody Sunday, I tried to withdraw some money from a Maybank ATM machine kat Kelana Partkview branh, Kelana Jaya. Unfortunately, the ATM card got stucked in the damn fcukin machine and I could’nt get it back, therefore, I had to ring the customer service and ask them to freeze my account temporarily. Then the customer service gave me a number to ring on Monday (the next day) to find out if the ATM card has been taken out from the machine or not. I rang the number that was given by the customer service on Monday and a gentleman answered my call. He informed me that he wouldnt know if the card has been taken out from the ATM and adviced me to come over directly to the branh to find out if the card has been released from the ATM.

So, on Tuesday (Today) i went back to Kelana Parkview branch (first thing in the morning b4 I start work) and asked if I could get my ATM card back because it got stucked on Sunday.

Out of my total hopeless and misery feelings, I was informed that I could only get my card after 3 working days???? what the fcuk is this ? is this the kind of service maybank is providing to their loyal customer ??? Why was I not being informed about this when I spoke to the customer service on the bloody Sunday when my card got stucked? ? ?
Why do I need to wait for 3 days??? it’s my card! it’s my money! I am asking for my rights here… i got utility bills to pay off… I got a tank to fill gas with, to travel to work, I got to top-up my touch and go to go to work!!! how do you expect me to wait pennyless for 3 fucking days???

I’ve been their loyal customer since 96/97 till now… and this is the treatment i’m getting from them???

the next ting that put me in total dispair is when they informed me that they could print out a new ATM card on the same day if I do not wish to wait for 3 days… unfortunately, they can’t process my application due to :

1) my home branh is in Genting Higland
2) MY Card (IC) chip is faulty, therefore they’re unable to process my application. They’re unable to get my details from the chip on MY card. bullocks !!!

I’m an IT enginerr my self! don’t gime me bull and cock talks when dealing about systems here… just bloody punch in my IC number and you will be able to get all my bloody details! what is wrong with punching in my IC number in your bloody system?

the reason that is given to me…. oh no… our system can’t do that! our system can’t do this!!!

Is it that your bloody useless system that can’t do that or is it just the Maybank hiring illiterate staff not able to manoeuvre the system where they can actually just punch in our bloody IC number to get our details from their system?

I have never been so upset with maybank service just until this shite happend. If I ever knew Maybank service is gonna be as bad as this, I would have just closed my Maybank account long before all this shit happend and open up another account with a different bank! And yes!! more and more customers are actually complaining about maybank services that they’re actually providing. This is not a period as i’m not gonna just stop here…

If anybody that have read my of utter dispair here, please let me know if there is a way for me to lodge a complain to higher source or medium so that it goes directly to the CEO of Maybank and it’s time for him to get out from his lazy ass and start doing something about the whole fucking system here!!!

I will forward this to Maybank officer. I hope your email is your real email.

I did change my Maybank ATM card at KLCC. They charged me RM10 because mine had a faulty chip. WTF right? They give out stupid low quality cheap chip and expect us to pay for their cost cutting strategy? Bull shit! And mine you, ATM cards usually resides in the wallet it’s highly unlikely to get wet even if you’re drenched in rain.

I have 2 banks now and Maybank only serves are mediator for my salary and bills through online. While CIMB as ATM withdrawal. Because bloody Maybank charges 50 sen on the 5th transaction of the month, which does not compute. We give our money to them, they launder it and get interest, make millions and yet failed to deliver simple service. Bullshit la!

Malaysia and Banking service , internet service, logistic is worst than Indonesia and Thailand, and, forever dont compare with China which is much much much advance.

i am malaysian, a small business man, and i am telling you that Malaysia is going to die very soon.
And now days, foreign country ppl including China ppl don respect us anymore, for them Malaysia is same like Cambodia and Laos , this is Malaysia Branding issue. When i told them i am from Malaysia, they ask how you live there? The internet is slow, the city is worst the business and government are corrupted, etc etc, people keep telling me what they all heard bad about Malaysia. And i strongly feels the differences compare 10 years back how foreign rating down on our reputation. FUck you
