Perhaps we don’t mind waiting in line for good food every once in a while. But, when it comes to queuing up for paying parking tickets, renewing passport, or running an errand at the post office, we simply can’t stand having to line up for hours. Especially if it’s under the hot sun, lagi we don’t like.

When it comes to banking, it can get a little inconvenient at times too, especially with the current situation

You have to worry about bringing all your documents along, go through the hassle of going to the bank branch, and spend time lining up just to get something done.

Of course, we make sure to follow all the SOPs when doing so, but the process can still be a little mafan, especially now when we’re all trying our best to stay home as much as possible.

That’s why CIMB is making things easier for you. Now, you can open a savings account from the comfort of your own home!
