I wanted to cancel my debit card from UOB but was told by a branch staff that I need to keep the card in order to continue using my Internet banking. The reason given was so that I can reset the password from the ATM if necessary. Is it true?

I know MBB & CIMB need to link the card with Internet banking, else it won't work. Some banks like OCBC do not need ATM / debit card to use the internet banking but online IBFT won't work.

But based on an earlier post from here, a debit card is not necessary for Internet banking for both UOB and HLB. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

when i first started using uob online banking i didnt have any card.

do you think that's a valid reason? do you need to reset password frequently?

you can also walk into any branch and ask for reset.

So you managed to open a savings account without a debit card? Is it the eAccount? When was the last time you did an online IBFT? So far, I never had to reset my password before. I agree that the branch should be able to reset the password too. In that case, I think there is no reason to not let me cancel my card. Thanks for the reply.

currently only PBB and HSBC have security token for consumers?

Any other banks provide similar feature for consumers?

btw, I cant seem to find this announcement on PBB website

CIMB Bank offers similar security token but it is optional and with CIMB Bank, you have to 'purchase' the security token from them.

It is best to read and fully understand the terms and conditions of using this security token, before heading to the bank to get the device.

I know CIMB provided it for a fee. What I mean is that currently only PBB and HSBC provided this for free to consumer?
Trying to understand more but unable to find the announcement

Actually they don't need token. All they need is start implementing 2FA authentication with Google authenticator.

SCB SA got free IBFT. 

This is referring to JustOne Account right (be it the normal one or the priority). CS contacted and said that for the free IBG/IBFG, there must be minimum deposit of RM1,500 a month. In addition, there will be an annual charge of the debit card (CS say must get the debit card, no opt out option) of RM8. Is this true?

Yes. Just one. However what you say is false.
My account have rm5 I still get free transfer.
Just one account is free. No yearly fees.

I always feel whatever the CS say is not as accurate as what you lyn members have experienced. Not sure is it due to change in t&c or wat. What I understand from the website is as long as you have that account, your ibg/ibft (made online) is free and there is no requirement of deposit or anything, not even the annual fee because it is not even stated in the product disclosure and terms and conditions of the account.

Read the TnC and confirm with the worker that it is free. The rm1500 is only if you want the freee meps and interest. If you want it, just put in rm1500.Then remove it straight away.

If you don't want the free meps (but you will still get free transfer and not changed yearly fees), just leave how much you want inside there. I leave rm0 inside. .

When I opened I transferred rm1500 inside for "activation" then wait one day. Next day remove everything.
