[Resolved]  Ambank Group — staff not allow to open saving account

I pay a visit to your tangkak, johor branch. I wish to open a saving account but your staff ask many question and document even i show her my blue color mykad. Below is our conversation.

Tan siew pui: why you want to open an account?
Me: i want a saving account at ambank

Tan siew pui: do you have other bank account
Me: yes

Tan siew pui: it is enought if you have other bank account, why open at ambank?
Me: i just need an account at ambank, can i?

Tan siew pui: which bank you use frequently?
Me: maybank

Tan siew pui: do you have any statement?
Me: yes, you need it now?

Tan siew pui: yes
Me: how to give you now?
Tan siew pui: (Silence...)

Tan siew pui: where you working?
Me: bukit kangkar

Tan siew pui: what you working?
Me: self-employed

Tan siew pui: what is it related
Me: e-commerce

Tan siew pui: when you start working?
Me: since 2005

Me: do i need ssm to open an account?
Tan siew pui: (She didn't answer this question)

Tan siew pui: do you have official letter sending to your address?
Me: yes. Tnb bill.

Me: do i need to bring it to open account?
Tan siew pui: yes

Me: so i can't open a saving account today?
Tan siew pui: you need to bring your tnb bill and maybank statement.

Me: ok lah, i come back later.

I go back to her after i buy something else where. I think back it is easy for my maid to open a rhb account, but as a malaysia, i feel she want to make thing difficult. I then go her counter and ask her name. Her name is tan siew pui.

What i want to know is it true she treat a new customer like this? Is it really i need to bring document as her request?

Dear Jeannie,

Thanks for your respond to Ambank at Consumer Complaints (less than 24 hours). I did send message to https://www.facebook.com/AmBankMalaysia/ early, but looks like your Customer Care respond to Consumer Complaints faster.

I will email later along with NIRC and phone number shortly to [protected]@ambankgroup.com.

I heard Ambank customer care respond is very slow. I expect Ambank customer care respond within 10 days.

Regards,
Tay
