oo i c..ok2 thank u..will make the card l8r..

Maybe we should make a poll on which is the best debit card? easier for everyone to do a comparison? Anyone knows how to make a poll to link here? Maybe a second poll on what are the priorities that would make the perfect debit card.

Has anyone ever use Visa / MasterCard for reservation of rooms in a hotel which website FAQ clearly state that visa electron card is not accepted?

How long does RHB take to process a Debit Card application? Anyone applied for one recently?

For the Cash-Connect debit MasterCard or Cash-Connect VISA debit card, the card will be issued to you right away after you open either a savings or current account with them.

Ah, Miles the resident Banking expert, thanks They can issue a personalized named card on the spot? A lot better than Visa Electron which took almost a month.

Haha thanks ! Anyway, they can't issue you an embossed card right away. If you really want an embossed card, you will have to wait up to 2 weeks to get the card just like it is with UOB Bank debit MasterCard.

By the way, only Standard Chartered Bank and Al-Rajhi Bank can issue an embossed card right after you successfully open your savings or current account with them as far as i know.

Hai guys. Just a few question to ask...

Can Maybank Visa Debit or Maybank Maybankard MasterCard Platinum Debit used for payment using PayPal?

Thanks.

The Maybank VISA debit card definitely can be verified by Paypal and used to withdraw your Paypal funds. Not too sure about the MasterCard Platinum debit though.

miles, withdrawal to debit/credit card will be charge RM20, rite?

Yes. It's RM20. But since we can also make the transfer right into out bank account, it's better to do so as the charge is so much lower at only RM3 (free if the total fund transferred to your Malaysian bank account is at least RM400).

yup, that's what I'll do
so I wonder why anyone would like to withdraw to debit/credit card

Apparently the regular RHB Bank ATM card is still very much alive. The card conversion to their VISA debit card/debit MasterCard is optional. See the official announcement from RHB Bank below :

That's exactly what I want to do - convert to Debit card - why didn't they invite me?

You can go into their branch and request for a card conversion.

The choice is yours, just go to the branch. But bare in mind that the annual charge for Debit Card is RM20. Don't convert and complain later

anybody has CIMB debit card?this card can purchase anything through online ah?

asked d. can be use online purchase

hi everyone.

I went to MBB to renew my ATM card last week. The officer gave me a MBB visa debit card. He said that this debit card will charge me RM8 annually and didn't tell me that there is another option. Actually I only put some money in this acc for Maybank2u and never for withdrawal. Then it means that i can change my debit card option to the 4 free withdrawals in each month and no annual fee option? Can i change the option in any MBB branch?

Yes. You can.


Not too sure about this but no harm trying.

Hi all,

I am currently a holder of Maybank's Basic Savings Account. I wish to use the Maybank Visa Debit (Cherry card). Are these the steps to apply for one:

1/ Close the Basic Savings Account and reopen it as a Kawanku Savings Account (What is the difference between these two)?
2/ Surrender my current ATM card to change to a Visa Debit Card?
3/ Will there be any conversion charges imposed? My understanding is that RM8 is the annual fee if require more than 4 withdrawals per month, and an additional RM12 for ATM card to Debit Card conversion.
4/ Do I need to do all these at the branch which I opened my account?

As for the new Cherry Card, does it:
1/ Act exactly like an ATM card?
2/ Understood there's only 4 withdrawals per month. Is every online transaction/card swipe considered as a withdrawal?
3/ Be embossed with the cardholder's name? (Average wait time? Or is this option not available?)
4/ No top-up required and charge directly to the savings account?

Thanks!
