Frustrating for business owner

So apparently I have to make a choice. I can only use the app either for personal account or company account. Some uncultured staff even suggested me to buy another new phone solely for the purpose of logging in to my company account. Does it make sense to you? RHB app Developer Team, why is the system so detrimental? Isn’t your app supposed to make things simpler and make life easier? Isn’t that’s the purpose of tech in first place? And there is a lot miscommunication. Staff said ‘RHB Now’ has been discontinued? But do they realise I am still using it for my company account as of the time I'm writing this? The most frustrating part is that I can’t activate secure plus on RHB Now. Which capped my company account transactions below RM 10K. PLEASE SIT DOWN AND IMAGINE THE INCONVENIENCE. AS A COMPANY ACCOUNT, I can’t transact more than 10k?! Rendered it useless. What were you thinking when the team decided the app can only be use exclusively for only personal or only company? Seriously, up the game.

Worst App ever

Every word is a waste for this sub standard app. Better change bank than using this app.

Unhappy customer

I have been RHB customer for many years. I find it difficult to do online banking from overseas.I’m in Sydney and couldn’t even sign in using username n password that I have been using. I tried calling customer service but never seem to reach. Very inconvenient and wish I could travel to KL just to terminate my account and shift to another bank.what a poor unfriendly service

Hi hopeless rhb, we are sorry to hear that you are having trouble logging in to our new mobile banking app. Could you write to us at customer.service@rhbgroup.com with more details of your issue? We'd love to help you troubleshoot. Thank you

Deplorable. Just deplorable.

There appears to be just no way to activate SecurePlus in your mobile app - the instructions keep saying click on the SecurePlus icon on the homepage when no such icon even exists even after multiple updates! Imagine having to make endless RM9999 transfers to move funds between banks! I seriously wonder why do you even bother with it - other banks I deal with have no such nonsense, and transactions have been secure enough as far as I can tell.

Hi Khaiyeong8, you can perform Secure Plus using RHB Mobile Banking app by enabling Secure Plus at the 'Security' section of the menu. No QR code for activation required. Once you've enabled Secure Plus, you will be able to authorise payments of MYR 10,000.00 and above using your primary device. Thank you

very bad after update
i try many time transfer,but cannont

Response from developer

Hi BILLY CHNG, could you tell us the error for failing to transfer?

Push Verification??

FPX always asks me for push notification or scan&sign and I can never do both, all the headache for trying to do an online transaction!

Response from developer

Hi OhNicknameK, we apologize for this experience. We suggest if you want to perform FPX transaction please do via Rhb Now Internet Banking (desktop). Secure Plus for RHBNow and the new RHB Mobile Banking App are independent from each other. If you are performing Secure Plus in RHBNow Internet Banking, the Approve/Reject will be sent to the old app - RHBNow. Advise you to register and perform the SecurePlus transaction via the new RHB Mobile Banking app. Thank you.

Stability And Speed Issues AND NOT USER FRIENDLY

UPDATE
I have downgraded my 3 star review. If i could it would be a MINUS. It’s gotten worse. I added about 20-30 bank, credit card and loan accounts, billers, govt payees and Paypal as favourites using the RHB website. (The constant TAC and security question input at EVERY REQUEST is also frustrating and irritating). I have signed in and been verified, it should not keep asking me at every request or transaction. Maybe a TAC at an unusually large transaction is applicable but for adding a favourite. SERIOUSLY. Even while using the website, it is slow and i got a few error message 502, oops the server is not responding or logs me out. TERRIBLE.

The reason i chose not to use the app to add my favourites is because of the constant TAC inputs. Using my mobile, in order to read the TAC, i have to exit the app, when i do that, guess what. IT LOGS ME OUT. So i have to do the process all over again. Again, TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

While i was out, i tried to use the app to make a payment, NO FAVOURITES. The app tells me to add favourites. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NOT USER FRIENDLY. It’s obviously not linked to my account. Now it seems I have to re-add all my favourites in the app AGAIN. If i did not need this account for my paypal i would close this account.

FYI I use iPad Pro IOS 13.2, iPhone 7 Plus IOS 13.1 and HP Pavillion Windows 10. App has been updated. This may not be a factor but i think you can only use 1 registered device - tablet or phone or PC (i have not confirmed this). If this is the case RHB needs to change that - everybody i know uses more than 1 - most have a minimum of 3.

I finally got an answer from RHB - their solution - to add favourites i have to use the app. Nowhere (if i am wrong someone please tell me) does it say in the guides that i SHOULD use the app to add favourites. The link it seems is one-way - from app to internet banking only.

At 60 yrs old, i am not an IT expert but consider myself tech savvy. I love and use all electronic gadgets where possible. Common sense should prevail and app, internet banking, ATM, counter should be linked. What happens at one, should be reflected at all the others.

Initial Jan 20 complaint:
Even using touch id, it keeps rejecting my log in. And during transactions, it will give the error message “oops something is wrong, try again”. And i have only been using this for two weeks so i can look forward to more frustrating moments. AND it is so SLOW when you compare it to other bank or payment or financial apps/wallets and i use several.

Can’t perform any transactions

There’s something very wrong with the app. Can’t perform any transactions, keeps crashing or showing error page

If i can, i will put no star

Stupid app. I had never need to reset my password for rhb banking.
Since i started to use this app, i had to reset my password for 3 times. It said i key in wrong password.
There must be some bug in this app. Really Malaysia boleh. RHB can fight for the worst online banking with CIMB in malaysia.
