QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Nov 10 2010, 09:56 AM) My friend tried to swipe his Maybank Debit card b4 in Changi Airport and transaction reject. According to my fellow colleague, Maybank Debit Card does not allow foreign transaction. so the card is only meant to be use in Malaysia only. Not sure how true is it though. I believe you can authorise oversea transaction in maybank2u website. I did some authorisation on my card to allow me to purchase from itunes previously. |

I have seen a couple trying to use the same debit card at departmental store, failed as well. |

QUOTE(ju146 @ Nov 10 2010, 09:30 AM) Hi Seantang let me clarified cos i used before.I have a maybank account nominated in Ringgit, but i am not sure whether i can withdraw SGD? for the activation, is that possible to do it online? also, if i successfully activate it? can i withdraw SGD using my maybank ATM card in other banks ATM such as OCBC, UOB? because it is quite difficult to find Maybank ATM machine here. I do not have a credit card. Do money changer in Singapore allow Malaysia debit card swipe? Mean i get SGD and i pay my ringgit using debit card swipe.? First, u cannot withdraw MYR/RM in Singapore (pls read ppl's reply to ur answer properly). Secondly to withdraw SGD u can just call Maybank Malaysia (expensive call charges lar) and activate it ur atm card (not debit card). Wihtin one day (btw i activate on Saturday and withdrawn on Sunday, so non-working day oso can). WIthdraw from Maybank atm cheaper charges (i think SGD2) compare to other atm (SGD12). |

Most of friends in Singapore don't visit each other as they are too tired after work and want to spend quiet time by themselves. |
