Thanks for the info bro.

i wanna ask..
can use debit card to buy something and pay it monthly?

No.

thanks for the explanation
how about this question? "wanna ask if i can do autodebit my phone bills and insurance on alliance debit card"

Sorry, I don't know. I don't have this card. Might apply next year.

Not too sure about auto debit bit for e-debit, you will not be entitled for the rebate.

Anybody aware of this Debit from MBB?

Yes. Already discussed it in the previous version of Debit Card thread.

OK then. My mistake for bringing that back again.

the alliance debit card is still master card anyway. u can use it for autodebit and get rebate monthly...good thing bout this debit card is, spending for gov service and petrol also can get rebate...

Don't be. We can always talk about it here again. That is the purpose of this thread right ? To talk about the debit cards offered in Malaysia so that we all will understand it better as well as to create awareness of its existence


You are right. It is a Mastercard but it doesn't work exactly the same as a credit card. As far as i am concerned, we can't apply for auto debit using Public Bank Day2Day VISA, Public Bank VISA Electron, Maybank Cherry VISA/Mastercard, RHB Bank Cash Connect Mastercard etc. And according to Alliance Bank, e-debit will not entitled you for any cash rebate.

Please help..i have no time to read all previous posts..

I am going to apply for debit card soon since there is this all new regulations on CC..what card from what bank offers:

1. Can be use to pay to petrol
2. Accepted by Paypal and buy stuff online.
3. Accepted by major shopping stores like Giant and Jusco
3. Free..

Thanks a billion. may god give u abundance.

Only Maybank Cherry VISA and Maybank Cherry Mastercard fit all the criteria above. But you must know that their reward system is the lousiest as it gives only 1TP for every RM3. Other banks such as EON Bank gives you 1 bonus point for every RM1 charged to their debit Mastercard but there is an annual fee of RM8.

And by the way, of all the debit cards available in Malaysia, only Public Bank Day2Day VISA debit offers permanent cash rebate when you use it to pay for petrol. Currently they will give you 1% cash back for petrol and groceries transactions. This will reduce to 0.8% after the promotional period (31 Dec 2009). All other transactions will give you 0.3% of cash rebate.

Guys, I wanna apply for CIMB debit card. Question is, how long will the card process and complete to my hands? And what debit card that we can use internationally (instead of local?)

Is there other bank where we could get debit card on the spot without open a new bank account?? Other then Al-Rajhi cause it's not in my area. Public Bank? Maybank?

You will either need to fax in or mail your application form to CIMB Bank credit card centre and you should get the physical card within 2 weeks, assume if there is no further delay in processing your application.


Many banks will issue a debit card on the spot nowadays such as :
- Public Bank Day2Day VISA
- Maybank Cherry VISA/Mastercard
- RHB Cash Connect Mastercard
- EON Bank Combi Mastercard

But all the banks mentioned above can only issue you the card when you open an account with them.

leo,
if you want a debit card without saving account ,u can opt for public bank visa electrion,PBVE
u can use it on amazon,ebay and so on,who accept VISA or paypal

There is definitely no problem with Public Bank Day2Day VISA and Public Bank VISA Electron.


Which bank is nearer to your house ? Maybank ? Public Bank ? RHB Bank ? EON Bank ?

nanakopy87 is right. You do not need to open a savings/current account with Public Bank if you apply for their VISA Electron. The card is yellow in color and has an annual fee of RM24. The annual fee will be automatically waived once you have charged more than RM1,000 into the card in a year. This card gives you a cash rebate of 0.5% for every RM1 charged. However you might need to wait up to 6 weeks until you get this card.

Public Bank Day2Day VISA however, can be issued right away when you open either a savings or current account with them.

If you want to do online transaction, Alliance bank's debit card not recommended as it does not support online transaction.

I am not a big spender.. so i am going to choose maybank cherry.. Thanks.
