Sigh, its quite the hassle to take when you have another bank account and yet the Debit card (of all kinds) does not allow you link directly to it (unless you are with the same bank that offers you the card itself).

I'm with RHB bank and I'm waiting for the time when it'll have its own official Debit card; since I'm not a big believer in credit cards.

im new here,
for affinbank debit card holders, i wanna know if there is any problems occur using this cards.
and i wanna know, what are the differences between visa, and visa electron? are there difficulties using visa electron such as not all international retailers accept it?
how about cancellation of a card? do the banks charge when we want to cancel our card? canceling here, i mean we dont want to use that card anymore laa.. ( i donno the term as im new in the field)

I'm under 18 age.
Any debit card i can apply?

I got MOL freedom, a prepaid mastercard. Took a long time to get approved. But after that, I have no problem using it. Buy books from amazon, pay through paypal (buy things on ebay and donate to mozilla firefox). Can access www.eonbank.com.my to check my balance statement. Can use the card to check balance via EON Atm.

So far no problem using it so I'm quite satisfied with it.

I'm not sure I'm correct on this, isn't Maybank ATM card already got debit card function?

Some did mention that but I don't have no idea on how to use that debit function.

from what i remember, the ATM can be used in Petronas and Carrefour as debit card, of course with some charges applied..

How much is the charge?

How about in Jusco? It is used in ATM or debit card mode?

AmBank expects 200,000 new credit card users

KUALA LUMPUR: AmBank (M) Bhd targets to secure about 200,000 new credit card users within one year for its newly launched AmBank NexG-iTalk Prepaid Mastercard, the first telco co-branded prepaid card with its partner, Telekom Malaysia Bhd ™.

According to AmBank (M) Bhd, managing director of retail banking, Mohamed Azmi Mahmood, the NexG-iTalk Prepaid Mastercard's competive advantage was its dual-functionality as a secure, chip-based credit card as well as a prepaid calling card with iTalk functionality.

"This alliance between two giants in our respective industries will bring much mutual benefit to all stakeholders and customers. With this launch, both AmBank and TM customers will now enjoy a wider range of features in a single card that can be used for payment and for making calls at low rates.

"Cardholders are also rewarded for their usage simultaneously by AmBonus, TM and RealRewards loyalty programmes," he told reporters after the launch on Monday.

AmBank and state-owned phone company TM had recently joined forces to boost each other's card business. The NexG-iTalk Prepaid Mastercard is the first fruit of the strategic collaboration.

According to TM, chief operating officer, TM Retail, Malaysia Business, Datuk Adnan Rofiee, iTalk is TM's prepaid calling card service which uses Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) and could be used on any mobile or fixed telephone service. "The NexG-iTalk Prepaid Mastercard offers compelling features, including iTalk's low international call rates, flexibility in reloading, wide acceptance and also for dial-up Internet access," he said, adding that there was a possibility of AmBank having co-branded cards with TM's subsidiary Celcom (M) Bhd.

You have to go and collect your tune card from selected Pos office if your application success and Pos Malaysia will charge you RM3. Reload via CIMB or PosMalaysia will be charge RM2. If reload via FPX will be charge RM0.50.

First 1000 applicants will get FREE tune card. But I can't find what they define by free. Annual fee waive for first year or what?

first expirienced using my Affin Bank Debit MasterCard....i used it to pay petrol....transaction accept....BUT ! it deduct preset value of RM150 eventhough i filled up only RM30...

i'm shock when i checked my balance short of RM120...but after I called their helpline, they said it's like that when u fill up petrol....they will deduct fixed RM150 first....AFTER 1 WEEK only they will credit back the balance.... what the hell ?? why took so long ?? siapa mau isi minyak RM150 ?? even mercedez i think reasonable amnount is rm100 maximum.....

bad first expirienced with Affin bank debit mastercard....but i think most debit cards are like that....at least my money stilll there.....but still dissapointed with the time taken to credit back my money...

i use molfreedom.

one thing that i learn, if you try to topup online (fpx, maybank2u) and did some mistakes ... and mol reject your application.... your money will be hold by mol (not eon bank, not maybank). call mol.

that what i experience. i make a mistakes (the card expiry date). i call eon bank ... they just said the money is not there. i call maybank, maybank said the money has been accepted. by the way maybank hold my line the longest ... 10 minute just for checking my money ....

lastly call mol ... yes the money is hold. i call mol everyday for 2 days, then they transfer the money to my account by RHB bank .... well .. my money travel from maybank to eon bank but got kick, land on mol .. and somehow it goes to rhb and got back to my card ....

other than that ... it's quite a pleasant to use mol freedom

i just get 1 from public bank, can online apply.
after compare with ambank Nexg, i think Public Bank better.
Nexg on MasterCard, Public Bank on Visa

here is the compare
http://www.liewcf.com/blog/archives/2006/0...aid-mastercard/

Public Bank Debit Card no problem with paypal.
Public Bank Debit Card take less than 7 days to reach after RM25 min topup is made.

But, Public Bank Card.... Ugly...



I don't think there is any.
CC card supplement also need 18 above

I've just started using PB Visa Electron for paypal....

everything was smooth. after i deposited rm25, they sent me the card, ATM PIN and i went to my nearest branch and applied for internet banking service for the card account.

i went with this instead of ambank nexg because it does not have extra charges for overseas transactions(foreign currency).

Hi all, want to get input from you guys here. Between Public Bank Visa Electron and Tune Money Debit Visa, which is better for online transaction (eg. paypal)? Which is is better for someone that didn't spend much?

Thanks.

tunemoney debit, i think no one try before yet.
how about you go and have a try and let us know?

Haha, I want to get input first before I try

so after buying the Ambank NexG PrePaid starter pack can use terus or not? or have to wait for verification/confirmation?

thought of applying for the PB card but to sometime hv to wait up to 2-3weeks up to 2 months to obtain card depends on ur luck la.

Ambank one seem to be less hassle

Imo, even thou PB you need to wait 2-3 weeks to get the card, but annually you only need to pay RM24. For Ambank if I remembers correctly, its about RM3 monthly fee.
For PB I have no problem using it for Paypal too. Ambank I not so sure.
