We got approach by a guy when doing supermarketing at ntuc finest.

He’s trying to sell us a OCBC card which i felt is useful. The card allow us to collect points or rebate from ntuc. Why not?! I quickly fill in the application form and even walk with the OCBC staff and drop off my application at the nearest post box.

A couple of weeks later, my colleague transferred a call to me.

Lady: is this Minying?
Me: yes, you are?
Lady: I am so-and-so calling from OCBC, just calling to verify you are indeed working at this company
Me: really? U have to check on me? (I aldy provide my CPF statement!!)
Lady: its standard procedure.
Me: pls cancel my application.
Lady: WHY???
Me: I just don’t like the idea that u guys have to call my company instead of my cell phone and verify my working place. Forget it, I don’t need the card.
Lady: but…
Me: CANCEL IT.
Lady: okie.. as per ur request

I am not sure about other bank procedure but I am not happy with OCBC. Anyway, i don’t need the bank nor a new card. 🙂
