Very new indeed. It was introduced in late November last year.


Do note that the annual fee free Maybank VISA debit card comes with certain restrictions such as limited free cash withdrawals. For those heavy ATM users, Maybank also offers them an unlimited ATM cash withdrawals over any Maybank ATM for a minimal fee of just RM8 like most other banks.


It is now possible for CIMB Bank/CIMB Islamic too. It's been so since sometimes in year 2010. However, do note that it is not possible to link your other CIMB Bank/CIMB Islamic account if one of your accounts is a basic savings account.


CIMB Bank Islamic also offers a CIMB Bank Islamic branded debit MasterCard for its CIMB Islamic savings/current account holders.

The HLB Hello Kitty card is an ATM/debit card, not a credit card. And yes, it comes with a RM8 annual fee. For its benefits and rewards program, please look for debit card in their website.

MSOS is Maybank's version of Verified by VISA/MasterCard SecureCode. It's the same thing but just different name. And instead of you having to key in a PIN you have set up earlier, Maybank will now send you an SMS containing the PIN. The PIN is different every time and may only be used once.

Try to give them a call.


Yes


PBB D2D VISA or PBB ESSO VISA debit card.

1. Yes (do insist on it as some of their staffs aren't aware of this option)
2. Not sure
3. It's printed, not embossed. Yes, it's similar to PBB's debit card.

Go to Public Bank and open a PLUS Savings Account. You will be issued a Day2Day VISA debit card right away and this card is accepted for all online transaction.

Basically there is none but they may block your card if they detect something amiss. They can unblock your card as soon as they contacted you.

No.

Supposedly there isn't. You need to call them to find out the reason why they suspended your debit card.

No one can tell you which one is more suitable for you unless you furnish us with more information such as where do you intend to use it, how old are you etc.

Alliance Bank debit card cannot be used for online transaction, by the way.

Get another PBB debit card. The PBB ESSO VISA debit perhaps ?

Yes. And Maybank will charge you an admin fee of 0.5%.


Yes. No handling fee.

Supposedly so but i'm not too sure.

PLUS Savings Account or any of the regular savings account from Public Islamic Bank. Last time basic savings account cannot be issued with the PBB D2D VISA debit card, not sure if things have changed though.


Except PBB D2D VISA debit card. This card is issued only with a PBB savings or current account


Yes. You do.


For PBB PLUS Savings Account, the minimum deposit must be maintained all the time is only RM1.

Thanks for the update

Unfortunately, the new CIMB Bank debit MasterCard still cannot be used for online shopping. Anyway, Air Asia Savers Account is good because it comes with a very high interest rate But don't bother to use this CIMB Bank debit MasterCard to shop. The rewards system suck! Just as bad as Maybank Cherry VISA debit card.

The 1% cash back is a limited time promotion. For bonus points accumulation, you are only given 1 bonus point for every RM2 charged to the card and the items available for redemption require many bonus points and you have to pay for the courrier fee yourself

They should mail it to you in the next few days. Alternatively, you can walk into any PBB branches and they can generate one to you on the spot.

Yes. You can.


Last time you had to do it inside the branch. Not sure about now.

The PIN is all ready and sealed. They just need to activate it over the computer, let the supervisor to approve the application and they will hand the sealed slip to you.


Call the CS.
