My point is that MBB CS claimed that they have so called fraud detection system in order to justify for sending out SMS alerts.

If you're a frequent patron to certain merchants, you will not be receiving alert very likely. But if you're paying a visit to a particular patron once in a blue moon, one should be notified right?

Their fraud detection system is very sophisticated and hard to draw a general conclusion.

The system will not even flag you if you spend at a once in a blue moon location at a different state. Haha, maybe not for starbucks

The only conclusion that I could draw is that MBB does send SMS notification for auto debit swipes. So far, all auto debit with Great Eastern, TM, TNB and Maxis did receive alert.

Set all Maybank Threshold to >RM1, you will get all SMS alerts like me.

I've done a transaction via my Visa 3D Secure and it trigger a sms when it went through

Swiped twice at SenQ using MBB2 AMEX. Both swipes also no SMS. First time RM 200 for T&G and second time RM 649 for a fridge.

Swiped once today for RM 700 when changing tyres using MBB2 AMEX.

No SMS received.

But i did received SMS for all my auto-debits like DiGI broadband , DiGi Phone bills,Great Eastern etc.

Today at O'Briens, I swipe Maybankard 2 AMEX first time declined/error... But still get transaction sms alert.... The retry was successful and another transaction SMS alert was sent.

It better not double-charged me....

Bro, MBB don't have a default value but based on other criteria like spending pattern. If you read ben83 post earlier, he charge more than RM10K also no SMS.

So if you want SMS from Maybank, you need to call MBB CS and instruct them to set your default value to what amount you want. For my case, I requested them to set the default value to RM0.01. Actually MBB turned out to be the better bank (thanks to members here complaining), you don't need to fill in any forms like Alliance, HLB and OCBC. Citibank you can do it online or call CS too.

happened to me once. two sms. no double charge.

Yes i've been following this awesome thread for quite some time.Mayb i'll send an email to MBB to set the default value to less than Rm1 like what bro ronnie did.

according to maybank, all online transactions will be getting SMS alert. I suggest you to re-confirm with CS your mobile number.

About 2 weeks back I called Alliance as wanted to request change the default amount to RM1. The CS said will fax over a form. So I filled in the form and refaxed back to them. Last week a guy called me and said they can't change it to lower than RM500. If want the amount to increase then can. So I told him BNM requirement is they must send SMS to me and other banks like MBB, OCBC and HLB can change the threshold value. Asked him to fer to his management.

Yesterday I used my Alliance Bank Credit Card for RM80+ face to face transaction and received an SMS
