of course inUSD currency...but its based on the rate on the day bank charge you.
the rate is usually 3.57,if not mistaken

So, even if I don't have any amount in my Paypal, they can just deduct straight from my debit card? That's super cool!

baru apply today keh?aiyo..need to wait 3 more weeks to get the card.remember when u wana deposit the money into ur account,choose credit card payment @ the atm deposit machine

Ha.. what to do, I've just learnt about it last 2 days.. Doing research a lot, asking.
Tedious job, but worth it. I need to understand kaw2, want to start shopping by my own.

hahahaha...i did researches and surveys for more than months before decide which to choose
hahahaha....

Wah.. for moths? Haha, I'm not that patient la. But after reading here, I think the best is Public Bank's card.
lowyat.net forumers sure are nice and helpful!

coz i'm not rushing to buy online coz i see lowyat oso offer such servises..so i can take my own sweet time to choose

But buying by your own, you don't have to pay 30-40% more to the seller. Sure it's still cheaper than buying at retail stores.. Still, 40% is a lot..

hmm,i found those are not bad 1...unless u wana buy frm ebay etc,then different story...btw,we are out of topic now

so,did the customer service tell u when u can get the card?

Ya, wanna try ebay, maybe.. Well, the bank officer said I have to wait around 2 weeks, then the card is mine.
Ai..

Eh ? I thought you were going to apply for Public Bank Day2Day VISA debit card ? You will be issued with this card instantly and you will be able to use this card to do online transaction after 6pm or 7pm today.

Or did you go to apply for Public Bank VISA Electron ?

I have just got my Maybank Visa Debit Card this afternoon. Used it to verify PayPal, still waiting for the code now. My Maybank statement now has 2 new transactions, both are PRE-AUTH DEBIT. One is RM6.99, which I believe is the USD1.95 charge me. Another is RM1.02, I have no idea what is that. Any idea? Could it be foreign currency exchange charge?

i heard many said they charge twice but still no1 noes wats tat for

They charge twice just for PayPal or every single international transaction?

i believe for the first time only

The other one is additional fee. Credit cards/debit cards would be charged additional 2-5% or some additional fee. You'll have to take a look under International purchases. The first one is USD$1.95 to Ringgit Malaysia. The second one is processing fees , additional fees whenever you plan to use foreign stuff.

Some banks group it into one. Others like maybank split it

I applied for Public Bank VISA Electron debit card. Since Public Bank Day2Day VISA requires you a saving account.
Don't want to open another new saving.
Have enough already. Hehe.. Takpela, I have to wait a bit for my card. Yours is Public Bank VISA Electron or Public Bank Day2Day VISA?
