I tried using the Maybank Visa Debit Card to purchase items from Amazon, but for unknown reason my transaction cannot be go through. stating i got some problem with my card. Unless someone can enlighten me whether i key in my wrong card number 3 times or the Visa Debit Card can't be used in Amazon online for transaction?

Guess one of the reason for most people failing to do online transaction is due to the implementation of the card. It just came out, it is still new, not all the online business  knows about the card.

Guess have to give them (Maybank) sometime to change the Maybank Visa Debit Card into a useful Card that can be used for online transaction and other usage. instead of all advertisement and useless usage. Since Maybank advertise the card how well it is, how good the card is etc.

But time is limited for them as other banks are introducing better Debit Card. So pray and hope Maybank improves its' services and the usage of the Maybank Visa Debit Card else paying RM12 just to change from ATM card to the card is pointless if the usage are limited.

Just my 2 internet sen by the way hope no one in the banking fields who are working for Maybank are offended.

Haha, they did not charge me RM12, I got it free.

Btw, I do love their free annual fees, which is quite good. Unlike Public Bank, you need to spend >RM1200 to get your annual fees of RM24 to be waived.

but a debit card is pretty useless for me if it doesn't do online transactions. don't mind about the annual fees, just allow me to do my online shopping without fail and I'm pretty much satisfied...

Yes, true. I did a lot of online purchases online. Sometime it do help me as I doesn't like to withdraw much cash out. Still I try to control of course. Public bank visa eletron will be my primary debit card, while maybank visa debit will be my secondary card

how u did that?
i also converted from ATM but they conned me RM12

Anyone use Standard Chartered debit card for purchasing digital camera or other electrical products and how about the % installment? Thank YOu

Once I got the card, she explain to me that I need to change my pin again. Default pin is 123456. And I ask her other question like, payment limit, PLUS activation, etc. And I ask her, 'so I go to ATM and do it straight is it and do it all over again?'. She said yes and I straight go. After everything done and get into my car, I only remember they forgotten to collect RM12 from me

Debit card cant do installment.
yeah just close ur existing acc and get a new one
Lucky u then, check ur account maybe they might charge u   

Checked, none.    Usually when they will auto-debit from your account, they won't inform you, right?

fixed.
yup

Sorry. My account very weak. Always confuse which is which.

Thanks btw

lol..Don be happy too early...MAybank definately will debit RM 12 from your saving account...just time matter 

i did my ATM to debit card converting last monday ,n today, i saw my m2u statement ( transaction history) , maybank did auto-debit RM 12 from my account.

.....

i've read all of the post.. since most people favour MVD and PBVE eh?

i'm the MVD holder.. and just applied for PBVE.. hope that i cud get it fast..
btw.. what type of savings that PBVE have? islamic or conventional?

Have anyone ever tried to buy books or something from amazon using visa debit card (pb visa electron or other bank). I already read the help at amazon, they only stated visa, dont know can use debit or must use credit card only.

i think it's the other way around... for now I prefer the PBVE over MVD... but MVD is very convenient so hopefully something will be done about the problems it's facing right now.
