There are multiple instances where one changes the phone number. Some examples are losing a mobile phone, switching to a new SIM card, and using a new SIM card overseas. Since the 6-digit confirmation codes (TAC) for online transactions are sent to one’s mobile phone, there is a need to update the phone numbers that are linked to bank accounts. Thus, this article provides a step-by-step guide to changing one’s phone number in Cimbclicks.
Change Phone Number in Cimbclicks
Users with Malaysia-registered phone numbers can update their phone numbers via the nearest CIMB ATMs. However, users with non-Malaysia phone numbers are unable to register their numbers through ATMs. They have to contact CIMB customer service hotline at +603 6204 7788 and request to register their phone numbers.
That being said, the following guide only applies to users with Malaysia-registered mobile numbers.
- Visit the nearest CIMB ATM and insert your bank card.
