Since you are a Public Bank account holder, you can use the Automatic Sweep feature so that any succesfull PB Visa Electron transaction made will be deducted from the savings in your saving's account

hello sharpman,

does this mean that i can use it like a credit card when purchasing an item in the malls? will it get rejected? will there be any interest charge when i use it to purchase something? and i would also like to know whether which is a better choice between VISA and MASTERCARD.

thanks for the help.

not very suggest if you have large amount of money in your saving account.what happen if you lost your card?

better seperate you saving account and debit card account.

hello athlon 11,

let say if i were to get one debit card, is it possible for me to open another account and put some funds into it just for the sake of the debit card so that i wont mix it up with the saving accounts? so like every time i use it it will deduct from the newly opened account rather than from my savings account?

thanks.

For Public Bank Debit Card, its already a separate account. Not joint with savings account.
If I'm not mistaken, you can transfer from your PB savings into the account, free of charge.

thanks for the info.

jocsp,

for public bank's visa electron,you have 3 ways to manage the top up.

1)if you have no public saving account,you can go to public bank top up it.

2)if you already have public bank account,you can always transfer money from your saving account to your card.

3)auto sweep if you have public saving account.every time when your card amount drop to an amount(i think is RM50),bank automatic transfer money from your saving to top up your card.i do not sugest this option if you have large amount of money in your saving account.

lastly,yes,you can apply 2 saving account.in a way,one is traditional saving account.one is Islamic saving account.

very informative indeed.

thanks for answering.

Has anyone tried their debit cards or visa electrons on other hotels around malaysia?

Has anyone has experiences where they did not accept your card transaction?
I would like to apply a debit card, but i am afraid hotels would not accept these transactions. I have read forumers stating genting does not accept, but what about others? Like 5 stars hotels n etc around KL n PJ area?

I only would apply debit cards for those purposes , so that i would be able to book rooms, or whatsoever that needs a card for bookings. Normally i would pay things with cash.

Your are wellcome.this is the forum's spirit

can we use the debit card to verify paypal account?
thanks

can anyone help me with the points i put above?

pls share if u have any knowledge in this matter...Thanks for sharing.

EonBank Freedom Mol Debit card..no monthly fees..online secured shopping..

Sounds OK for me.I like (2) and (3),cause I am a IKEA fan.
And...Every 2 years pay RM 25, thats cheaper than others, even cheaper than PB...and I love the card design (excuse me for being attracted to the card design)
But do they have CC statement also?

Recently I saw a TV commercial on Debit Mastercard. Would like be the same as Mastercard Electronic?

I still waiting for my Affinbank debit MasterCard...i applied last week..deposited rm50 to newly open Affinbank saving account...

The sale representatative said it will be sent to my address after 14 business days...

It'll deduct direct from saving account (which i just open before i applied debit mastercard)...

anyway, that account just for debit mastercard use.....so can topup any amount using cash deposit machine of AffinBank and internet transaction through Maybank2u and cimbclicks...

i also got AffinBank Bankcard, which mean if i need to withdraw my money, maximum i'll be charged is rm1 (for meps) & free for affinbank ATM.... no need to use the debit mastercard to withdraw (unless oversea la)...

main benefits of Affinbank debit mastercard are:
1) get back 0.5% from the amout of any transaction using the card
2) Travel insurance...

wat abt the eon bank EMV or something like tat? when can apply that?
