    I've seen CIMB Bank open while I was at Summit on Sunday evening... and AmBank in Taipan also opens on a Sunday. So there are definitely choices available... although I'm hoping that more banks would follow suit!

    Ambank also opens alternate weekends. Back in PAS governed states, Sunday is a convenient banking day for other states around them.

    But don't get the wrong impression for OCBC and Ambank opening on weekends, they just accept your requests, they still process it on the next working day, usually Monday :)

    It's stupid to have banks closed on Saturdays. How many of us actually has the time to go to the bank during weekdays. Not to mention working hours.

    I use Internet banking so never have to worry about "banker hours." What a life these guys must lead.

    You are so right. I would have thought that the banks would have thought the 5 day week to be a golden opportunity to snare more customers by staying open on Saturdays.

    Looks to me that the so called big shots of the banks have no intention of meeting customer needs.

    not only bank, government offices should open on saturdays too.
    i remember last time gov. offices open half day on saturdays. then they switch to "close on first and thrid saturdays of the month".
    Now, every saturday close.. what's next? half day on Fridays for sembahyang?

    banks really caters for business ppl..they are the ones who are the ones who make big transactions during weekdays. As for us 9-5 ppl...too bad...we just have to resort to online transactions (which is cool since petrol price is so expensive nowadays) and skipping lunch/work just for a queue in our local bank haha
