I spent more than RM10,000/pa since i started using it since January 2007. So the annual fee was automatically waived. Cancelled it in late February this year in favor of a credit card.


Don't know about this as i do not earn money over the net and therefore have no experience in this. I needed to verify my Public Bank VISA Electron to my PayPal account 2 years ago because i frequently opted to pay some merchants overseas via PayPal because i trust PayPal. The problem is that you can only pay using your credit/debit card via PayPal for a certain amount of money and when you have reached the limit, you will need to get your credit/debit card verified or else you won't be able to make payment anymore.

Good that you can get it verified but you won't be able to withdraw fund using your EON Bank Debit Mastercard (as clearly stated in PayPal). But it won't be a problem as long as you only use PayPal to pay other merchants and not earning money through it.

Public Bank VISA Electron.

You might want to try EON Bank Combi Mastercard (red one). A guy claimed he managed to get his verified.

I assume you just booked a ticket on either Ryanair or Easyjet ? In Europe they seem to have this absurd rule and i don't know why either. Not sure about Standard Chartered Bank VISA Electron but Public Bank VISA Electron can be used overseas. I personally have used it on singaporeairlines.com several times before i got my very first credit card.

I submitted a photocopy of my MyKad and the application form only.

This might not be the correct thread to post this BAD NEWS but it is related to a debit card, somehow. Standard Chartered Bank has further reduced the interest rate for their much publicized E$AVER Savings Account to only 0.7% for balance between RM0 - RM100,000, 2.2% for RM100,001 - RM200,000 and 1.5% for deposit above RM200,000.

You are wrong. Debit card does have password.

Password or PIN number it is the same. It is a top secret thing that you should never reveal to anyone, including your wife


You don't have to key in your PIN number like Bankard. The password is needed only when you need to check your card balance at the ATM or to withdraw money.

Indeed. When first launched, they were giving 2.5%, then reduced to 1.5% in February and now down to 0.7%. It is still higher than most banks but i no longer see the reason why should i keep this account anymore. Will move my money back to my existing banks and eventually close it down. Such as hassle to have so many bank accounts

Looks very much like a lifestyle card (based on the card design). The annual fee is a bit high though at RM12/pa.

Public Bank VISA Electron

But can this card be verified by PayPal ? It is still so new. Less than a week old. And he must be an account holder with Public Bank to apply for "day2day VISA debit card".

Why don't you try to use the Public Bank "day2day" VISA debit card online first before you cancel your PBB VISA Electron ?

What is there to be happy for

My friend just converted his conventional PB ATM card to PB Day2Day VISA Debit card. I think he's going to use it to book a room at www.genting.com.my. I only wondered why PB is charging its customers RM12/pa for this new ATM card while Maybank is charging only RM8/pa

Your name will be printed on the card for both Public Bank VISA Electron and Public Bank ING Debit Mastercard.


Key in your real name.

Don't think this is possible as this Day2Day card is also an ATM card linked to your savings/checking account. They will not mail the card to you. Instead they will issue the card to you on the spot, just like PBB MEPS ATM card. And you will also need to sign the Day2Day/ATM application form.

RM10 as handling charge.

Many European low cost carriers have this very weird rule that if you use a credit card to buy a ticket from their website (such as Easyjet and Ryanair), they will charge you around GBP4 for each transaction but free if you are using VISA Electron.


RM0 handling fee if you're using Premier ATM Card

Yeah, thought so too. As this card can only be issued if you have a savings/current account with Public Bank.
