[...] Having said that COMMERZ is probably licking its wounds over the recent bond trading losses and its Thai acquisition. But this is a fraction of MAYBANK’s Indonesian woes, a foolish move that has enriched a few while costing shareholders RM10 billion or more in lost market cap. At peak MAYBANK’s market cap was around RM45 billion….today it is a pathetic RM21 billion. What was once Malaysia’s leading retail bank is now (sorry to say) a little bit of a laughing stock in the industry.

I heard the new site came crashing down a lot, so might as well revert to something that works.

emotionalistic,
Me too! They should gave us Beta version on a test server to test test first.

fuyichin,
Performance issue… maybe many users login to test and got hooked to the more fancy interface and stayed online for hours. That’s why they had the performance problem! Haha…

yogi,
They need to fire their technical team!

Laura1318,
That’s a very serious problem. No wonder Maybank2u decided to revert back so fast. Their technical team will have a hard time now.

QuaChee,
Yep, I am shocked to learn this too!

|1f34|-|1r3,
They should have just hired Kitkat to do it la. haha… guarantee bugs free! Why it’s slow I wonder… must be the new applications they are using, perhaps the older version was running on Java and the newer version was running on Microsoft!

foongpc,
Next time better launch a Beta version for selected users to test drive first.

Maybank2u new version was really slow. Took me ages to login and surf around. I’m relieved they put back the old version!

Some people don’t like the new interface, but I think they revert back to old version because they facing some performance issue, one of my friend told me, the website respond slow when maybank2u switch to new interface.

I don’t really care if they are using the new or old version, most important it must be secure and user friendly! But this reversal kind of thing should not have happened. Like you said, don’t they test it out to make sure there’s no flaws or shortcomings before launching it?
