Hi all, i just opened a public bank account recently, my account plan is "PLUS SAVING ACCOUNT"... Anyone have ideas regarding this account? I mean do i have to pay to go to counter or visit the atm machine? I saw some account that have to pay to do stuff like tis (BASIC SAVING ACCOUNT). I have searched around the public bank website but i couldn't found any information regarding the account, so hope the PROS here can share some ideas.

Also, what is the minimum age for applying for an online banking account? And are there any annual fees?

Thanks you

PLUS Savings Account
- RM8/pa for regular ATM Card
or
- RM12/pa for Day2Day VISA debit card
- Unlimited ATM withdrawal
- Unlimited over the counter transactions

Not too sure if there is a minimum age to activate your PB e-banking channel but you may try yourself by activating it over any Public Bank ATM. The PB e-banking channel is provided for free.

Alright thanks, so i need an atm card before register for online banking rite?

Yes. If you choose to activate your e-banking service via ATM, then you will need an ATM card. But if you do not have an ATM card, you can only activate it through one of the customer service officers on duty in the branch.

then, instead of going to counter, is there anyway to update the passbook i have?

No other alternative as PB has no passbook update machine like Maybank has.

somemore passbook is going to be vanish soon as most bank are doing e-statement now

OIC... I thought public bank is the best...

But PB still prefers to conventional way.

i just check the internet banking require 18 age and above

As long as you have ATM card, you can request for the access if I'm not mistaken.

But atm card need parents improval, rite?

yes

I got my first ATM card when i was 14-year-old. It was still the non-chip based card then

But do we have to take a number to update passbook?

Public Bank is well known for their fast and efficient counter service that no other banks in Malaysia can rival. It will be your turn in no time.

I believe that you no need to queue/take number to do a passbook update.

I did that before without taking number.

Only certain PBB branches allow this but still, i suggest that one always take a number and wait patiently. Because you do not want to be branded as uncivilized.

But IIRC, I was advised by the customer service personnel that no need to take number. Those personnels sit outisde the cashier counter.
