PETALING JAYA: CIMB has introduced a self-service Lock Clicks ID feature that acts as a "kill switch" for both its CIMB Clicks and CIMB Octo apps.

This feature allows customers to immediately freeze their online banking ID if they detect unusual or suspicious transactions or suspect that their account has been compromised.
