I have one blue debit/ATM card.

I think it is good, can earn point too.

Drawback is you must have money ready before you spend; i see it as good thing.

Anyone facing difficulties using MBB visa debit card for any transaction either online/offline?
Really hoping to get one myself, but eager to listen to more opinions.

works fine for me online or offline... i use for paypal, hotel booking, buying games from steam and a few other stuff...

Thanks for clarifying. Will head to home branch to change my ATM card to a new one.

so, there's no debit card that can be used for flexi payment? even PB D2D visa?

Yes, I got mine from my Basic Saving Account as well... plan to use it to withdraw money in US next week as I was told it cost me cheaper and easier as compare to other alternatives...

No

Is there any aannual fees imposed for the basic savings accounts? any minimum amount have to retain for it?

No. No minimum balance fee whatsoever, so i was told. There is no annual fee for their VISA debit/ATM card either but you will need to pay RM8 for only once to apply for the card. I am not sure how much is the minimum balance must be kept at all time i always have more than RM1000 in it. You need only RM20 to open a Basic Savings Account with Citibank.

My friend told me that using debit card to pay petrol doesn't need any signature or password. Is it true?

For either a VISA debit card or debit Mastercard, if you pay it at the petrol kiosk, then you do not have to sign anything or to key in your password. RM200 will be temporary deducted from your account. As for why will RM200 be deducted from your account, please go back several pages back. It's been explained many times there.

petrol station:
u either pay at
1. machine near pump, kiosk machine
or
2. go to the 'building' pay at counter, terminal machine

If you pay at counter, a signature is required and only amount pumped will be charged.

would like to apply the citibank debit card... the only negative point is we cant use it to pay utilities bills online (but according to citibank staff, next year they will make the internet bill payment available for debit card too)

Wow, then if people stole our debit card then they can just abuse the debit card up to maximum. Beside petrol kiosk, which transaction doesn't need any signature or password? or so far it's for petrol only?

Wah.. Now I can see the difference. Thanks Miles!

want to ask anyone used debit card for below online store before? If does, which bank of the debit card u use? I do try my maybank and PB debit card for this online store but cannot be accept by them

I just got my visa electron card [Public Bank] today and was wondering how to check the statement online because I want the confirmation code from paypal to confirm my card as valid or do I need to wait for the monthly statement? That would be a bother

Btw, adding funds from electron into paypal.. possible?

You need to apply for e-banking inside the branch. But all of them are closed for the day. You will have to wait till next week.


No.

Thanks miles! Sorry, to ask but I have another question.

How can I transfer my money from paypal to public bank? I'm sure that paypal would not recognize our bank because I did that before so no more option for money that straight transfer to bank account. Any other option?
