When people say that they forgot CIMB account number, it can mean two things: First, they forgot their account number because they haven’t used it in a long time and for quite some time, the account has been idle. This usually happens when a person has more than one banking service.
Second, they forgot their User ID and password for their online activities. This usually happens when they activate automatic password and User ID reminder in the browser and it has been somewhat reset.
No need to worry. Both of these issues have their own solutions. What’s best is to keep your cool and don’t be panic-y. There are ways to figure it out.
Idle Account
As it was mentioned before, the first issue likely happens because the account has been idle and you have lost your banking book. There are actually several ways to solve it:
First, you should always be able to check any banking records or letters, such as a cheque, a printed statement, or such thing alike.
These documents usually have the information related to your account. However, if you don’t have any records or whatsoever, go to the second attempts.
CIMB Clicks
The easiest way to check your account is to log into your online account. Most banks today are offering online service.
People usually register to the online service after they have opened an account to make their transaction go easily.
A User ID, Password, is all you need. If you don’t forget them, simply log in and view your account.
