Most local banks have it, just ask for Basic Savings Account

That's ridiculous.  Paid debit cards = free debit card. I have never experienced that. The only thing I experienced is bank officer making a black face when I request for free BSA

I’ll have to disagree with the above statements.

I am using a non-fee BSA from the much complained CIMB Bank mainly due to their higher annual fee for their debit MasterCard. The card they issue to non-fee BSA account is the exact same debit card they issue to all other accounts that come with RM15.90 annual fee. So there is actually no reason for them to tell you they have run out of stock of the free debit card. Same situation with my RHB Bank and AmBank non-fee BSA too. The same generic debit card is given to me but it doesn’t come with annual fee as my account is the non-fee BSA.

Normally for a BSA it is 0.25%. CIMB Islamic Bank BSA-I comes with 0.90% profit per annum.

All BSA require you to keep min RM20 inside.

Yes. 8 free withdrawal a month.

Regarding your earlier question, yes. You can ask maybank to convert the paid account to the free account.

Public bank very happy to open a free BSA for me. No black face.

Got interest. I receive it on twice a year, 30 June and 31 Dec.
