It was actually the second bank I checked. And the reason I didn&#8217;t make the transaction in the first one is that the queue note said there were 47 people waiting before me. You can now imagine how happy I was when I walked in ICB* and figured out that&nbsp;ZERO people was waiting in line.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the help of one very kind but questionable lady clerk, I got to fill in the WRONG sheet for money transfer. And again, thanks to&nbsp;very &#8220;EFFICIENT&#8221; service of the second lady clerk, I missed the deadline for inter-bank money transfer, which is 5pm!<\/p>\n<p>I had to initiated a&nbsp;little negotiation with her and her supervisor. Although finally I got what I want and got the transaction done by whatever means without losing my manner, I was quite uncomfortable at the end.<\/p>\n<p>Something was absolutely wrong, either my expectation or the bank&#8217;s services. The thing is, although ICB* is already publicly listed, I don&#8217;t see it taking any step to improve itself to satisfy&nbsp;the shareholders, at least from a customer&#8217;s point of view. Then I might have to manage my expectation to a reasonable level. Let&#8217;s say next time, I spare one hour for a one step transaction with them. Is that fair enough? Or maybe the easier answer is not to have anything to do with&nbsp;it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>On&nbsp;this very afternoon, I have to say, Chicken, your bank is way better than that one.&nbsp;We appreciate it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently strikingly&nbsp;impressed by the service [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":534,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions\/534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zenglu.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
