There is still inefficient incurred despite Maybank2u website provide a good customer service to its customers. The service is sometimes said to be inconvenience for its customers. For instance, users may need to contact a lot of customer service numbers if they are going to make enquiries from different administration as each of the contact numbers only serve for one specific purpose. It is also consuming time when a customer is trying to contact the administrations to make enquiries, let say a customer may report for lost of credit cards and at the same time, he would also like to know regarding his credit card information, but he is not able to get things done just by giving one call, instead he should call for the other respective numbers to deal with another purpose. Furthermore, customer care line is not a free toll calling, hence it consume the user’s money as well.

One of the ways to improve the customer service in Maybank2u website is by implementing a more effective communication method between the users and the administration. Since it is said that inconvenience occurred to the user due to various type of customer care lines that serve for only their respective purpose, the customer care line should try performing a linkage between the administrations of each department. In other words, only one customer care line to be created in which it is able to connect to the administration of each different department. As a result, it is definitely a time saving method especially during the phase of connecting the users to the administration. Besides, users would not have to switch to another customer care line number in order to make enquiries on other service; instead they can just switching it to the respective administration by clicking another numerical code on their mobile phone.

It is notified that there is still another issue of the customer care line in which it is financially charged to the customers. Normally, most of the customers would prefer not to be charged when making a contact to the administration for enquiries. It is said that the system is providing a negative externality to the community; hence the customers would be likely to enter to the bank to make their enquiries due to this is the only option that they would not being charged. As a solution, customer care line should be improved to offer its user with a more efficient communication way. For example, the system might implement Instant Messaging software that allows users to contact the administration without any charge is being concerned.

If the Instant Messaging software were to be implemented, the installer file of this software should be displayed in Maybank2u website so that it is for the ease of the user to download it. Users are required to register for a different account which is not similar with the internet banking account. Once the registration has been successfully done, he or she might be able to use this software. For each time they are signing in to their account, a system message will be sent to alert the user so that not to provide any privacy information such as password or credit card information to the administration.

It is suggested that Maybank2u website should provide a more interactive customer service by implementing new service of communication software that enable user to deal with the administration face to face. In other words, Maybank2u website might have to set up a video call facility so that to allow users to make any enquiries without necessary to present themselves physically at the bank.

Maybank2u website should allocate the video call installer on its own website to allow its customers to download it in order to use this software. After the users have downloaded the software, he or she might have to register for an account to be eligible to use it. Once the registration has been successfully done, they are able to reach the administration through a video call by signing in their username and password. Then, a system message will automatically send to the user whenever they are signing in to use the video call facility. This message has to be sent to the users so that they will be alarmed not to expose any password or privacy information about their account to the administration.
