HSBC Malaysia has become the first bank in Malaysia to launch a digital account opening journey with 24/7 Self-Service Machine for identification and verification process.
This new online account opening service launch is timely with social distancing measures being the new norm in the foreseeable future due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The advantage of this digital journey is that it minimises physical contact, unlike the conventional way of account opening.
Customers can also enjoy the simplicity with no paper forms that come with traditional account opening. HSBC introduced this digital journey to enable customers take advantage of a simple and easy process to open a new account from the comfort and safety of their homes, and choose the time that suits their lifestyle to verify their biometrics at the 24/7 Self-Service Machine.
“Our digital features are constantly being improved to empower our customers to pick the best banking experience that fits their lifestyle. As customers’ preference continues to evolve, we continue to enhance our products and services to strengthen our relationship with them” said Tara Latini, Country Head of Wealth and Personal Banking, HSBC Malaysia, “The launch of this online account opening service and our recent launch of DuitNow QR are part of our vision of the future of banking – a blended approach where we serve our customers with the best of our digital world and our people.”
