I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the abysmal service I received from one of Maya Bank’s chat agents, Mhedz. This interaction was a glaring example of what happens when a company fails to uphold the basic principles of professionalism and courtesy. My experience with Mhedz has raised serious concerns not only about this agent’s competence but also about Maya Bank’s overall approach towards customer service.From the beginning, the agent did not even make the slightest effort to engage meaningfully with me. Without confirming if I had further questions or if my issue was resolved, Mhedz abruptly ended the conversation under the pretext that I was inactive—even though I was actively participating in the chat. This dismissive and careless behaviour is completely unacceptable, especially in a service role where the expectation is to treat customers with respect and professionalism. Cutting off a conversation without closure reflects an alarming lack of customer care, and I am astounded that Maya Bank tolerates this type of behaviour from its agents.Additionally, the manner in which Mhedz handled my query was both curt and discourteous, making it evident that Maya does not prioritise proper customer engagement. It is disheartening to see such a casual disregard for the needs of customers. As a financial institution entrusted with people’s money and personal information, Maya Bank should hold its agents to the highest standards of professionalism. This encounter, however, suggests that customer service is not a priority for Maya—and perhaps this reflects a deeper flaw within the company’s management and leadership.What is even more concerning is that this kind of treatment potentially violates multiple Philippine laws protecting consumers. For example: 1. The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) mandates that businesses provide fair and adequate services to their customers, ensuring that consumer rights are protected at all times. The abrupt termination of my chat without proper resolution violates the principle of fair service. 2. The Financial Consumer Protection Act (Republic Act No. 11765) emphasises the duty of financial institutions to respect and prioritise the welfare of their clients. Maya Bank’s failure to provide a satisfactory response to my concerns goes against the spirit of this law. Financial institutions are required to maintain transparency and accountability, yet my experience suggests Maya Bank falls short in both areas. 3. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Charter (Republic Act No. 7653) requires banks and financial institutions to adhere to sound governance practices and ensures the delivery of responsible financial services. The disrespect and lack of professionalism shown by Mhedz reflect poorly on Maya’s compliance with these standards, raising questions about its governance.This incident has made me question Maya Bank’s competence and credibility. The lack of professionalism exhibited by one agent can undermine the trust a customer has in the entire institution, and this experience has certainly had that effect on me. It is disturbing to think that Maya Bank tolerates such agents—perhaps this reflects a management that is more focused on profits than on providing quality service.I strongly recommend that Maya Bank take immediate corrective action, not just against Mhedz but also in revisiting its training programmes and internal processes. The bank needs to emphasise accountability and customer care to all its employees, particularly those in customer-facing roles. Ignoring issues like this will only result in a growing pool of dissatisfied clients who are more than willing to share their negative experiences publicly.If Maya Bank continues to tolerate poor service from its staff, it will not only damage its reputation but also risk legal consequences for failing to meet regulatory standards. As a customer, I need to feel assured that my concerns are treated seriously and with respect. If this is the level of service Maya offers, I will seriously consider taking my business elsewhere and encourage others to do the same.Financial services are about more than just transactions—they are about building trust and maintaining relationships with clients. Maya Bank needs to realise this quickly, or it will face the consequences of a poor reputation in a competitive market where clients expect—and deserve—better service.
