I would recommend Maybank debit card. Very convenience to withdraw money, no charges involve too.

Im using Maybank Visa Debit too.

but too bad,when u shop around at low yat plaza,they got sur charge from 2-3% depends on which shop.

say buy a pc @ RM2000, card extra charge 2% = RM2040 adi.

i thought Visa debit is not Credit card,but they charge also.

Maybank visa debit won't allow you to do online transaction.

If i want or apply the PB Visa Electron Debit Card, what the document should i bring?
Need to photocopy my parent's IC?

How old are you? Have you read the t&c?
Nope, don't need your parents IC if you have meet the T&C.

Document that you need to bring like, IC, Passport/birth Cert, printed application form(if you apply online). I think that's all if I not mistaken.

Maybank la meh...
no charge on the card..
plus got point also when shop using debit card
and yet..very convenient...=)

i'm 22 years old already,
I was read this http://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/images/debit.pdf
the Documentation, 3nd point said need parent's IC

err genting dun accept debit card ar ? me alrdy many time do online booking using nexg debit .. ok what =.="

May I know whether the retail transaction mention by PB Visa Electron include petrol purchase? And the old visa electron also can enjoy the similar benefits (annual fees waiver after spend >RM1200 annually) which offered by current Visa Electron card?

o.O it seems that maybank visa debit increased the pre-auth debit for petrol stations?

went to shell yesterday, then i went home to check, the pre-auth is RM200 instead of RM150 =.=

yes, that's the good point.

bad points that it refuses PayPal!

i believe pre-auth amount was what u have selected when u 1st fill in the form for DC. U may need to confirm wit MBB.

darkdevilray,
the merchant should not be charging u 2%-3% fee as its not a CC. In fact if not mistaken, MBB would only charged them around 0.7% only as MBB need not give cardholder credit term as it is DC. Plus DC holder needs to key in their PIN no for the tranx which is normally their ATM pin as well.

hope it clarifies.

Regarding pre-auth, normally it should be 3 days right before I get back my pre-auth amount. It has been 3 days, yet still havent got it back =( 1st time using for petrol station thou >.<

It might take more than 3 days huh?

Read carefully. No worries. You are above 21. You don't need your parents approval or anything.

Yes, need to verified with VISA. So, pretty sure Maybank debit card won't go through for genting online booking.
Genting is as good as that.

I using PBB Visa Electron, the pre-auth is RM200 also. and 3 days is 3 working days... learn it the hard way last time pump petrol at friday night and wanted to buy something on monday cannot get thru

im have subscribe for Maybank debit visa and too bad they doesnt accept for paypal...And im planning for Tunemoney visa..any recommendation since im interest in Ebay and foreign online shopping.

I have both the Maybank Debit card which doubles as ATM card & the PB debit card.

The Maybank Debit card is convenient and gives treat points too I recommend it... (Note: It is connected to your savings account so you may want to open a separate savings account JUST for your debit card to avoid someone having a shopping spree with all your savings if it is stolen...)

BUT you WONT be able to do ANY online transactions although they told me it is in the works now (which means in a couple of YEARS it can be used for online transactions... ) nor do they mail you monthly statements :/

Plus point is there are No extra charges for anything and no annual charge If you lose the card they will charge you RM15 or RM20 to replace it though... Ouch!

Maybank debit card has no minimum RM requirement other than the RM1 you need to maintain in your savings account

As for my PB debit card... I LOVE it! Hahaha! First year NO annual fee but unfortunately, 2nd year onward they charge RM24 if I am not mistaken.

Plus points is you can use it to verify paypal (because I pay for memberships and games with it) and make online purchases and payments (I have bought Singapore airline tickets with it once! ) AND they send you monthly statements which is very convenient as I can track my spending that way. Also, the debit card is separate from your savings account so if you lose it you wont have to worry about your account going to zilch. Some may not like that but I love this because I consciously plan what i buy ahead of time and I have a maximum amount to spend No overspending that way. You can easily transfer back the money from your debit card to your PB savings account via ATM machine if you didn't spend it. You can't do it online - Dunno why but I think that is fine lar.

You MUST maintain a minimum of Rm25 on the card though. So, if you want to spend RM200 you must have RM225 on the PB debit card.

NOTE FOR RE-FUELING car:::For fuel on EITHER debit cards, I used both with NO problems BUT I did it by going straight to the counter indoors to pay with the cards. NOT by swiping it at the fuel hose place as you need a minimum RM2xx and it takes DAYS to verify and deduct... Inconvenient.

Personally, I recommend you get both especially if you want to avoid getting a credit card Both cards are perfect for me as I only want to spend money I have, not money I 'borrow' from the bank.

If you only want ONE card - get PB debit. If you want two, get PB and Maybank Debit cards

With both these cards you don't need to bother with ambank, eon bank or other bank debit cards~

Yup I'm thinking of getting the tune card too.
Now using Ambank NextG but the monthly fees is RM3. And charge you RM 25 for the starter pack!
If for Tune card is only Rm 9.99 yearly. Just apply and collect at the nearest post office.

eon bank got paypass mastercard features.

got two type, normal n islamic.

but i donno how good it is. still thinking. should i opt for maybank visa debit or eon paypass mc. any suggestion?

I am also looking for any card that can add a secondary US billing address as well. Some online merchant don't accept Malaysia credit card.

Amazon allow different billing and shipping address. For those that accept google checkout, you can link it to local credit card and add a US shipping address. I have not problem doing so and ordered from irobot successfully.
