tax no. bank statement yes. most of the time use internet banking to pay bills and transfer to other investment vehicle.

75k pa should be paying tax already. later you may face many difficulties.

otherwise, you may try pledging fd to apply for a cc.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Sep 7 2014, 12:40 AM)
I have a question on installment scheme using credit card.

From various threads/websites, i come across terms like:

EzyPay for Amex
Card Easy Payment for Aeon CC

For the above installment scheme, we need to call up the issuing bank and request for the paid amount to be converted to installments, am I right? Different banks will have different % interest charge or offer. And also, in this mechanism, the bank will pay the whole amount to the merchant first, and then we service the monthly installment to the bank.

If let's say a merchant (not bank) inform me that I can go for an easy payment plan with 0% interest regardless of the CC type or bank, does it mean the easy payment plan is offered by the merchant and not the bank? In other words, the merchant will charge my CC every month throughout the period. Is this possible? Why will the merchant want to suffer a loss ie. 0% interest and did not get the payment instantly?

Please shed some light, thanks
*
if a merchant (not bank) offers you instalment plan with 0% interest, you need to pay to them every month by cash.

if they offer you 0% interest regardless any cc type, means they actually have instalment plan with all the major banks. their profit margin is high enough to cover all the instalment. for instalment plans, usually banks will charge around 5% to the merchant.

i did mention before. some merchant mark up 5% additional on top of their profit margin, just in case the customers wants to do payment by instalment. if the customer doesn't want instalment (but still want to pay by cc), the merchant can give 2.5% discount. if the customer wants to pay by cash, the merchant can give another 5% discount. but of course, this only apply to those smaller scale merchants.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Sep 7 2014, 01:05 AM)
For my case, the price is fixed regardless of one time payment or epp, 0% interest, so the choice is obvious. From your description at paragraph 2, it means no matter what is the situation, the bank will pay the sum in one shot to the merchant, and then the bank claim the money from us monthly, am i right?
*
yes, you are right. the merchant will pay the 5% to the bank while you will pay the monthly instalment to the bank.

since the price is fixed, going 0% instalment is the best choice.

Hi guys, i'm new in credit card installment plan with maybank

http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...sonal/CRD-Cards

Does it means swipe my card with shop retail first for exact amount first. Later on call in into call center to convert the specific transaction into installment plan? Any T&C for such services? Any shop retails allowed by maybank?

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 7 2014, 12:26 PM)
The link is for EzyPay, where 0% instalment setup during transaction. It's dependent to the merchant that participate Maybank ezypay.

Ur notes below, is conversion to instalment after sales, called EzyPay Plus. There's additional fee of 9% p.a. Read thru the t&CS in website.
*
for ezypay, the interest/fee is to be absorbed by the merchant, so you get 0% instalment.
for ezypay plus, the interest/fee is to be bear by you, so you need to pay the 9% pa fee.

no worries, it's because you used it at the pump. so they will usually lock rm200 first but later will only charge according to your usage which is rm50.

Hi guys, want to ask which card is more suitable for me to get cashback? I spend only RM200 monthly on petrol, no grocery etc. Don't really have other expenses....

I calculated if I get the maybank amex card, 5% cashback on weekends. RM200 x 5% = RM10 x 12 = RM120 - RM100 (service tax) = RM20

UOB card: RM200 x 5% = RM10 x 12 = RM120 - RM50 (service tax) = RM70 (but UOB cashback is only for BHP? )
Clearly UOB is a better choice compare to others right? Is there anything else that I need to know? 60 swipes to get annual fee waived isnt a problem I think, means I just need to pump petrol 5 times a month. I read before saying "uob set allocation of rm900k cb ", what does this mean? Is there any other better cards that will probably suit my needs?
*
mbb ikhwan has 5% for petrol on friday and saturday.
platinum: http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...sonal/CRD-Cards
gold: http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...sonal/CRD-Cards

uob 900k allocation for all petrol station (bhp can get 5%+2%) but usually finished by 13th of a month. so after that you get 0% already (or 2% for bhp).

Today I received a Caller ID Spoofing. It was a recorded message telling me that I have more than RM3K outstanding with RHB. I terminated the call immediately as I did not want to waste my time listening to it. Now, if you don't know what is Caller ID Spoofing, it's where a caller ID number that showed up on on a mobile phone having the a genuine telephone number (e.g. bank CS and even Police Station), but in actual fact, it's a fraud call.

You see, the number that showed up in my phone was 92068228 which is actually a RHB's official Customer Service contact number. I took the initiative to call RHB to report the fake call and was informed that since last Friday, many people have reported that they have been receiving similar fake calls. RHB personnel further informed me that besides them, many CIMB and AmBank customers have been experiencing the same fake calls.

This Caller ID Spoofing is now new, it has been happening for years.

So once again, I strongly suggest that all of you go read this thread - > Suspicious Telephone Calls on CC matters.

And also read my article titled Credit Card Fraud Calls.

QUOTE(tzeling @ Sep 22 2014, 09:58 AM)
I've been overseas since early of this year. So any activity regarding my credit card I am unable to check (as it is linked to my MIL's mobile number in Malaysia). Today when I tried to make payment via phone using my OCBC Titanum card to pay my Maxis RM10 bill, my card was declined. I have only realized that there are 2-3 transaction made online, cost btwn USD 200-300 at USA clothing retail shop 5 days ago. After that only they blocked my card. For that transaction it doesn't require 3D Secure.

And of course I have sent in the dispute declaration form. But it might take up to 128 days and if the dispute failed I'll have to pay for it. The thing is I wouldn't want to pay for it and its quite a big sum for me, like USD700? Plus I did not authorize that transaction (or that transaction didn't need any authorization!)

This is the first time I experienced credit card fraud. Anyone can tell me that if this dispute will be a success? I have been with OCBC with probably 3 years, good credit record, always pay my bill and no late payments. And I don't think I have ever did any retail shopping from US stores.

Please advise. I'm confused how did my credit card details got stolen and I'm pretty worried.

don't worry, you are not the first to face this issue with ocbc cc. you will surely success in your dispute. you may check the ocbc cc thread and read others reported such cases as you.

The agent advised me to file the dispute if the merchant claimed the $$ as at the moment the transaction is still floating.

Question: Do I need to pay the transacted amount?

Thanks

My Titanium CC expired in End-August and OCBC sent the replacement card in July which I did not received. In Aug received an SMS from OCBC saying that a suspected fraudulant transaction has been stopped and after checking with CS they sent me a replacement card with a new number. This is the second fraudulant transaction on this card, the first of which I have to pay for the exchange difference.

not considered as a standard way, but it's quite common too. usually it will be safe, don't worry. otherwise, for precaution, you may set sms alert on that cc for all transaction. in this way, you will know immediately (and report to block) if someone use it for unauthorised transactions.
