Not sure which thread to use so tumpang here..

A while ago (2-3 months back) I noticed that I'm being charged RM8 for my maybank debit card. After some googling and reading this thread its because I didn't opt for basic savings account during account opening. Honestly I don't even remember if I was given an option.

Having said, I visited Maybank @ Taipan Subang Jaya yesterday and asked to convert mine into basic savings account because I never withdraw more than 2 times a month - sometimes only withdraw once every 3~4 months. But the person in charge say this is no longer valid and all Maybank savings account that comes with debit card will need to be charged RM8 regardless.

Is it true or was I being conned?
