I was made to wait ages. There were so many empty rooms, but no available staff. They insisted that I joined the queue even though I just need a simple answer to a simple question.
When it was my turn , it takes less than 5 mins to get the answer.
Do you consider this good service?

Waited 1.5h and still waiting. Seriously only 1 active counter how enough?? So many people in the branch been waiting but no staff at the counter. No wonder so many people want to close their accounts

This outlet. Not much people also made me wait so long.
After waited an hour plus for only 3 number in front. I give up. No fate to open an account with them.
Do Go only if u have all the time in world. Be well-prepared.... And maybe bring some snacks or movie to watch if possible.

The poor reviews are justified as the customers are made to wait more than ten minutes at the HELLO counter for the staff who is playing with her phone in the pretense of “helping” someone at the ATM. At no time did she bother to turn around to check the growing queue at the Hello counter.
In the branch itself, the staff are ok. One just needs to be able to get to that step.
(Tip: ask those in the queue if you can jump the queue to get a Q ticket. It’s better than DBS where one cannot even do that in branches like Plaza Singapura)

3 counters, but only 1 counter serving customers. I waited for more than 50 minutes, and not my turn yet. Please improve your counter service. Thanks.

Poorly service-oriented, counter staff Aunite has such a lousy attitude. Not professional, like market staff.

I was forced to write a review by Michelle (lol). She hogged my phone, and it was so obvious she just wanted to take a peek at my bank balance. This lady was very 'aunty' and unprofessional. All the staff there were very impatient too.

Amazing experience at the bank today.
I was there to activate my online banking service and get a new card.
1) Ting Xuan was very kind and patient in assisting me with the activation even though i was pointed to her by mistake.
2) Alma assisted me in deciding on a suitable card. She was very patient and i loved that she understands the different needs of consumers.
I was out of the bank in about 15mins.

The service provided by Isabella was superb and efficient . Thank u gal !
She was courteous & was most willing to help me out coz all I needed was just to change a passbook , as the pages were used up .
The guy at counter was super rude and insisted that I should get a number to wait in queue just for a non cash transaction . This is so outrageous .
Thank you Isabella for making my experience at Bishan J8 branch a breeze as I was rushing for time to meet a client .
I hope that all the OCBC staff would be as efficient and helpful as you .
Thank you once again for your great service . Much appreciated.
