Me too. Opened a Maybank savings account in July. Took me 1 hour. Last time when i opened my Public Bank savings account back in 2003, it took less than 30 minutes

thanks for the laugh

On a more serious note, if you folks are not using the Maybank Visa Debit facility for a long time, better to set your purchase limit to very low amount.
That's just in case somebody try to purchase online using your debit card number, it'll deduct straight from your savings acc and then have to go thru a lot of hassle to get your money back.

will they charged if i wanna make debit card?n which bank is easiest?

Public Bank, Standard Charted, Maybank, these bank if you open account, they will provide you debit card on the spot.

Just erase off the 3 digit CV code on your card.
And for VISA, there is another page asking for your password, so it's not that easy to take other people's card and try to purchase stuff online.

Wow, very talented la that bank officer.. Salute

I love my PBVE debit card. Already used it to book MAS and Airasia tickets.
Will try to shop for online stores later

Just open my PB saving account together with day2day visa debit card, cost Rm 250. Is it they hold on RM 200 for those use PB day2day debit card?

Why you need to erase that number? Card issuers put in the number there for a reason. Don't be so paranoid.

Anyway, not all online purchase asking you that password. Some just asking your CVV & expiry date only.

You can withdraw all the money out if you after open the account, make sure you have a minimum balance in your account before you want to use your debit card to pump petrol.

Correct. Make sure you have at least RM201 when you want to swipe the card at any petrol kiosk as Public Bank will temporary hold RM200 from your account. The remaining balance will be refunded to you once Public Bank clear their account.

By the way, solarwing, the minimum balance you need to keep in your Public Bank savings account is RM1 only at the time

ok thanks. But usually how long time they take to refund.

2 - 3 working days normally.

Ok. just checked, they already refund into my account.

err . public bank debit card not mend for 18 below?

You are eligible for it as long as you are at least 12-year-old. But if you are under 18 you will need your mom or dad to sign some forms as a guarantor.

i was using PBVE

herm........ from the earlier post i found that some one said that for many hotel booking is available but i was trying to book my holiday trips at tiara beach but the post there say debit card are not available


....... and ya i was new to this card and i find out that how do we use this PBVE as a atm card also ?? i dont even have a pin number ....

and ya about the usage of this card are every place that accept visa are eligible to it ?

the pin number will send to your house few weeks later..i got mine around 2 weeks or more after i got my card.
u can use de card at all the mechant who accept VISA cards but remember to ask if they got charge extra o not like my previous posts said..i went buy CD but they said they will charge quite high interest if i buy less than certain amount

I got my PIN a week after receiving the card. You can change the PIN as usual at the ATM later.
Sign up with Verified by Visa to add max security to your card. You can do this at Public Bank official site..

Yes, you don't have to necessarily look for debit card option. Choose credit card - Visa. Your debit card will be treated the same. Wherever Visa is accepted, so does your debit card.
I already tried MAS, AirAsia, Amazon, and Benefit Cosmetics.. Love my card so much. This thread and the helping community are excellent!

Hi everyone... wanna ask, how much to keep the credit balance in PB ING Debit MasterCard PayPass Card? RM24 or RM25?

i am using maybank debit card and it works fine as long as i have cash in my account
