curious to know because i saw my friend holding more than 10 cards while her salary mere 6k+ above.. hmm any tricks?

no trick. 6k salary is already eligible for most of the platinum level cards in the market and as pointed above, approval is still up to the banks.

fyi, only cardholders earning RM36,000 per annum or less are restricted to holding credit cards from a maximum of two credit card issuers

Yes, as long as your salary above RM36k per year, you can hold as many cards as you want, subjected to the bank approval. Holding doesn't mean spending.

MEPS, Banks Offer Free Interbank Funds Transfer Service From Oct 1 Till Year-end

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Electronic Payment System Sdn Bhd (MEPS) and its member banks will waive the fee for its real-time Instant Transfer, previously known as Inter-bank Funds Transfer (IBFT) service, from Oct 1, 2015 to Dec 31 2015.

In a statement Tuesday, MEPS said the zero fee was applicable for transactions on the Internet and mobile banking channels of the participating banks.

However, the Instant Transfer fee at automated teller machines (ATMs) remained at 50 sen, it said.

In June 2015, the interbank network provider imposed a reduction of between 50 per cent and 88 per cent from the previous IBFT fee range of between RM1 and RM4 which resulted in a standardised ceiling fee of 50 sen at ATMs, Internet and mobile banking channels.

Its Group Managing Director, Zulkarnain Kassim, said the initiative showed that the banks' and MEPS' full support for Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) e-Payment adoption.

"In light of the current economic situation, it is also timely that the banks introduce the fee waiver that will benefit Malaysians in alleviating any financial difficulties," Zulkanain said.

By 2020, BNM is targeting to increase the number of e-payment transactions per capita from 72 to 200 and reduce cheques from 177 million to 100 million per year.

The 15 banks that offer Instant Transfer services via their Internet Banking are Agrobank, Affin Bank, Alliance Bank, Bank Islam, Bank Muamalat, Bank Rakyat, CIMB Bank, Citibank, Hong Leong Bank, Kuwait Finance House, Maybank, OCBC Bank, Public Bank, RHB Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.

The six banks that offer Instant Transfer services via Mobile Banking are Bank Islam, CIMB Bank, Citibank, OCBC Bank, Public Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.

SCB has been offering this for quite some time. Hopefully they don't start to increase the normal GIRO rate after the period.

Does this mean if I use M2U select the IBFT it will be free? Confirm? Anyone tried?

IBFT is real time one right? So if I pay AEON (through Citibank portal) will be instant credited as well?

The three points are fine. Maybe you could add that you have been advised by the central bank to seek advice from Mastercard / Visa. Get them to state how can customers play a role and what could be the action taken by Mastercard / Visa against errant merchants. Thanks  biggrin.gif

If you guys are interested, enclosed herewith is the reply from Visa / Mastercard.

Visa

Mastercard

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


In a nutshell....

Visa tells you to go complaint to your issuing bank. Your issuing bank would then forward the case to Visa for further action. They enclosed a list of number for you to call. Then they will take some kinda action laugh.gif

Mastercard tells you that it's okay to levy a surcharge providing that it's levied towards all Mastercard.

1. Capped at 4% or monthly surcharge rate specified at Master's website.
2. Surcharge amount MUST be disclosed and included in the tax invoice.
3. MUST be in writing and 30 days advance notice. ( Malaysian surely fail this one already laugh.gif )

End of the day, if you get refused, just go ahead and lodge complaints.

Sooner or later, the issuing bank / merchant would get pissed and start to take action. We all can do our part in complaining.
