I think you have mixed up type A and type B. Type A is called VISA Electron and it doesn't come with a savings account while Type B is called Day2Day VISA Debit and you must a savings account with Public Bank in order to be eligible for Day2Day VISA Debit. I have used Type A before and currently using Type B. I personally prefer Type B because the card can be issued right away. Less hassle this way and you will get your card pin number straight.

I was wondering if Public Bank will ever reduce the annual for Public Bank Day2Day VISA Debit because RM12 is a bit high for me  sweat.gif  When EON Bank first introduced their Debit Mastercard early last year (red color one), the annual fee for it was RM20 a year but then they reduced it to only RM8 a year a few months later after it was launched.

this is one question that i have regarding the VISA debit that doesn't come with a savings account... if you don't need a savings account for your debit card, how is it a debit card? you would basically be buying items on credit would you not?

and also, how come charges for non-savings account debit card is cheaper than the one with the savings account? i thought it was the other way round?
and until now also i haven't received anything from public bank... so long...

Thanks again and sorry for late reply. Very scared la.. Once, my friend' account saving has been stolen. RM2000+ is gone.She lodged a report, but the bank still can't settle.
I'm going to stick with my debit card. I use what I put inside only. smile.gif

a few months ago, my credit card was swiped for some online game (by valve software) amounting to RM2xxx... i raised a dispute with the credit card company and it's still under investigation. however, while it is pending, they will return the amount in dispute first...

i've been using a credit card for at least 5 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. i've changed my visa secure password (for online transactions) and so far, nothing similar has recurred.

Yeah. That's probably the downside of using a debit card because with credit card, its credit cardholder has a limited liability of only RM250.

what credit card are you using? none of the credit cards that i'm using have that limited liability clause of RM250.

i decided that it would be in my best interest to call up PBB to find out what was happening with my debit card application....

although i applied at the branch before raya, the Card Services said that they just got my application on the 30th of Sept, so it would take 3 weeks from that date to get my card.. so probably will only get it after the 20th of this month.

and i applied for the PBVE... heheh. sorry for all the confusion... =)

^ basically, they want to bring the debit card trend to the higher class market, so they gotta make sure that it's exclusive and not everyone can get it... heheh... =)

You have no idea how many people are being penalized everyday for exceeding the free quota  laugh.gif  If you try to dig out some old threads someone posted on this very board that he was charged RM0.50 six times in a month. Total loss that month for him was RM3.00. There are so many people who like to spam ATM  laugh.gif

i actually think that the free quota is unfair... i mean, you're a bank, and you're providing a service. you're already making money from the money that people put into the bank and you still wanna make money like that?

of course, people will say that you shouldn't take out small amounts at a time, but then again, that's the perogative of the user no?
i personally have never kena penalised before lah.. but even then, i still think that the quota is quite ridiculous...

hey guys... finally got my PB VISA Electron Debit Card.... but still can't use yet cause the PIN hasn't arrived... .

but at least i'll be able to put some money in and then verify my Paypal account... this become super important especially since now Paypal accepts payments in RM! =)

the benefits about the PB VISA Electron Debit Card as I have read:
- Free for Life (as long as you spend more than RM1,200)
- Cash back rebate (0.5% on any amount spent, excluding things like petrol transactions and utility bills)
- definitely can verify Paypal

that's about all i can think about the benefits of this card....

"To promote prudent spending, a service charge of RM50 a year to be imposed on each principal credit card and charge card; and RM25 a year on each supplementary card, effective from Jan 1, 2010"

Are debit cards affected by the new regulation?
