I applied for Maybank’s Premier Mudharabah Account-i (PMA-i, a kind of current account) but got rejected for no reason by Maybank banking system.
What is PMA-i account?
PMA-i is a current account for personal that pays dividends. You do not need an introducer to open a PMA-i account. It can be applied via Maybank2u online application.
Why do I apply for a PMA-i account?
I need a cheque book because I want to make offline charity donations and book/magazines subscriptions.
In order to have a cheque book, you need a current account. To open a current account, you normally required to have an introducer who is an existing current account holder. PMA-i does not need an introducer and you can apply online at Maybank2u website. That’s why I tried PMA-i
Why am I rejected by Maybank?
Currently, I have 2 accounts with Maybank. One is saving account (Kluang branch), another is Maybank Premier (current account) for Online Stock, which does not issue cheque book.
I applied the Maybank Premier account at Maybank2u via their online application with my Kluang address. But it is the Maybank Batu Pahat agent came to Kluang to open the current account for me.
Now, when I submitted my PMA-i application, the Maybank system detected that I have 2 accounts at 2 different places and thus rejected my application.
If I would like to open a current account, I have to do it manually at Maybank branch and need an introducer.
