just noticed that cimb debit mastercard annual charge have been increased to $15

If you click on their product disclosure sheet, it is still RM 8.

If you get charged RM 15, please send them the product disclosure sheet.

Thanks for the tip. Time to downgrade my card. That's pretty insane to charge RM 15. Even my other debit card waive it with 12 swipes.

You have to go to that particular branch that you opened the account.
1. Go to the branch.
2. Say you want to close down this account.
3. request for new basic savings account without fee or RM 8 annual. I took without fee because I don't use atm at all.
4. Tell them to transfer your account balance to new account.

If they ask you to take debit card, tell them you don't need a debit card.

If they bising-bising say you need to take debit card, show them this (under fees and charges):

HeHeHunter, did they bug you with lots of "why"s? When I opened this account, there were lots of "why"s fired at me ("WHY you want to open this account", "WHY do you open an account at this bank" & etc.) - if they did, what did you tell them to make them allow your account type to be changed? I'd be pissed to no end if they start spamming me with lots of "why", "why", "why" again. Also, does the normal Savings Account / AirAsia Savers Account cannot use ATM cards? Why do you need to change your account type when you cancel your debit card?
iXora.ix, did you manage to successfully change your account to basic savings account? Were there any charges incurred?

I tried changing CIMB AirAsia Savers Account to Basic Savings Account 1, which is the one with charges for every transactions per month above threshold (6 OTC transactions and 8 ATM transactions). As I almost never use this bank for any transactions, I am attempting to dodge this RM 15 CIMB PMPC Annual Fee. I was informed that the RM 15 CIMB PMPC Annual Fee applies to the Mastercard debit card that I currently hold (and barely used), not the AirAsia Savers account.

Note that the CIMB AirAsia Savers Account is a statement-only account with no passbook.

1. Does this mean that I can opt to cancel my Mastercard debit card without changing my CIMB AirAsia Savers Account to Basic Savings Account 1?

2. I tried to change my CIMB Mastercard debit card to a normal ATM card, but they refused my request, quoting "Nobody uses ATM card anymore". Do they have the right to refuse my request? Do I have a right to request for the cancellation of the card?
I remembered something about my rights to stop using the card anytime, cut the card in half and return it to bank if I cease to agree to the conditions stipulated in the agreement, but I can't check the agreement since CIMB refused to provide me with a copy of the agreement I signed (unlike Public Bank). Can anyone please check?


Bills? Any. To the best of my knowledge, no banks offer cashback for bill payment.

They did asked me why I want to change my card, I just say I do not wish to pay RM 15 debit card which I do not use. Heck if they could give me a bank account without annual fee and without ATM card is alright for me, but they said in order for me to apply online banking I need at least ATM card.

Note: you cannot change your account type because your debit card is tied to your savings account. You need to close the account and apply another savings account with ATM card.

Archmage Warlic, Currently I only use Public Bank Visa Electron.
https://www.pbebank.com/Personal-Banking/Ca...a-Electron.aspx

Good:
Annual fee RM 24 can be waived with 12 transactions
Cash rebate 0.5% all purchase except petrol and etc.
Standalone account instead of linked with savings. Good for security and minimalise impact on unauthorized charges.
Unlimited withdrawals.

Bad:
ATM available at branches only.
RM 10 per withdrawal from other banks ATM (MEPS only RM1)
