http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/457588/+1240. please read post 1242. i dont have Maybank debit card but some forumers said it cant be used for online transaction. if it's true, i guess paying hotel doesnt work too.

You can't use it for online/internet transaction only. If you pay at the hotel, it should be fine.

oh...Didn't know that

Maybank Cherry Card only do not accept Online Transaction. Other than that, they are convenient to go with.

As long as your debit card is having VISA or MASTERCARD logo, it should be able to use in Malaysia. Your debit card not issue in Malaysia?

i know what u mean, but no visa or mastercard, is discover network which from US, behind the card have unionpay logo which in MEPS list, hope it's supported.

All Public Bank ATM do support "UnionPay". Besides that, Public Bank ATM also supports MEPS, VISA, VISA Electron, PLUS, Mastercard, Maestro, ATM Bersama (from Indonesia) and NETS (Singapore).

Public Bank ATM card?
Did they rolled out new services for their ATM already?

As far as I know, they were two separate things in the past.

Hi & thanks for the info, by the way only Public Bank ATM support UnionPay? How about other ATM with MEPS tag?

I mean Public Bank Automated Teller Machine (ATM) all support "UnionPay" cards. Not Public Bank ATM card. Public Bank ATM card can only be used at MEPS supported ATM.


You may use your "UnionPay" ATM card at any MEPS supported ATM machine. That means you can use it at most local banking institutions. For example Maybank, CIMB Bank, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, RHB, Alliance Bank, EON Bank, Affin Bank and AMBank.

a)can I just buy the debit card in 7 eleven when i'm below 18? Do i have to fill up anyforms?
b)can people bank in money into my debit card?

Yup, you can buy the debit card from 7 eleven but your parents may need to sign the consent form provided together with the starter pack. As for bank in money, yes, they can do through cash deposit machine available.

lets say i wanna start business online, by having a debit card can solve ALL the online transaction, banking in off money problems?

As far as I know, not many debit cards support online transaction these days.

Not sure what do you mean but if your online business transaction involves PayPal. Then Public Bank VISA Electron is the card you must get. The Public Bank VISA Electron can be verified by PayPal and you may also use it to pay and withdraw fund on PayPal.

Again thanks

if u want to use yr debit card for the transaction online but not sure whether it will succeed or not. u actually can call cs and tell they about u will do the transaction with the particular mechanize, and ask them not to block it and let it done smoothly.

But the most important thing is whether the card issuer allow online transaction or not. For example maybank visa debit not allow for online transaction.
