Thank you.
Holy crap, I've always been insecure about keying in my PIN in public places, such as supermarkets with all those eyes queueing behind me. Signature-based transactions will cease starting next year?

Perhaps this will somehow deter thieves from rushing to petrol stations when they gets their hands on a card (for those who are unfamiliar, payments by card at petrol stations require neither signature nor PIN, unless you opt to walk in to pay at the counter). However, it's still a pain in the ass for your common card users like me - I'll be sure to chase everyone behind me away before entering my PIN, if possible.

Does anyone know if we can raise the issue on the maximum daily purchase limit with BNM as well? I've always felt that CIMB's daily purchase limit of RM 1000 / day is quite close to useless.

For CIMB, you may request for the alert to be triggered at RM1.00. They will be adamant that it is not possible, but I managed to set mine after I complaint to BNM.

i will receive sms for any transaction, but i didn't complaint BNM.

Sometime see whether the CS want help us to do or not...

For my Citibank, min is RM201, didn't call & talk to correct CS

You mean for CIMB? probably that's because I already raised this isse

I am glad to report that my request to set SMS alert to RM1 is successful and will take effect today.

Pubic Bank

Did they email you ? Or you receive a SMS ?

Received a call from the normal PB customer service line around noon, said as a follow up to my request.

effective 1 January 2012, transaction alerts via Short Messaging Service (SMS) will be implemented by card issuers for their cardholders after transactions are performed.

Hey - for the BNM ruling on banks to comply with SMS alerts for every CC transaction, just recently - this bank did not allow me to put RM10 as minimum trigger for SMS alert. I was shocked because I thought it should be any amount at customer's discretion, but the CS told me it is their bank's internal policy to have minimum of RM1,000 so she asked me to make a choice.

!!!
BNM's policy did not specify that they allow the bank to decide on the amount. Even a RM10 cc transaction is a transaction.

Quite unhappy - I have 2 cc with other banks and so far they have allowed me to set at whatever amount I choose. Suddenly I face road-block with this bank... 

Which bank is this?

i'm quite surprised with your reply.
i thought it should be "report to bnm". lol...

I wonder why when I'm using Maybank MasterCard, i received late notification and sometimes none.. As for Maybank Amex, I received notification directly after purchased..

what transaction you made using mbb mc and mbb amex respectively?

did you call up MBB Customer Service and request that you receive sms alert for transactions above RM1. If yes call them to report, if no go request.

Normal transaction like buying stuffs from Giant or Mymydin using mbb mc..

As for Amex, I using it for petrol and online transaction..
I study a lot from your website before decided to get cc. Hence, upon applying for cc at The Garden, I directly asked them to set sms alert for transactions above RM1.

You have to call Customer Service and set the SMS alert to RM1. AND once this is activated, you will get a sms from MBB stating so.
