Finally dawned on me that Bigpay got no incentive to take care of your money, so please take care of your money ...

All Techs other than T@NGo also same. To take care of your money, Freeze the BP card once you're done using.

QUOTE
The bank that issued your card has charged an extra fee — often called a ‘cash advance’

Some banks charge an extra fee when you use your card for a transfer. It works like this:

    When you pay for your transfer, Wise assigns a number called a Merchant Category Code (MCC) to your payment. MCCs help financial institutions categorise the kind of payment they’re processing.

    Wise passes this MCC on to your bank — it’s always 4829 or 6012, which indicates that your payment is a ‘wire’ or ‘money order’.

    Once the MCC we’ve assigned reaches your bank, they can choose how to charge for it. Some banks charge a fee for certain MCCs.

For instance, banks sometimes charge your transfer as a ‘cash advance’ or ‘cash withdrawal’. And this could come with an extra charge.


I think Transferwise use same MCC for Transfer and Wise Card.

No. Bigpay does not store foreign currency. Not aware you can receive funds in foreign currency either.

Has anyone receive any notification or warning from Bigpay, that if you don't change to the new Visa card, they would froze your account?
.....
This was a terrible experience for me and now I am seriously reconsidering Bigpay.  ranting.gif

Are there any good alternative to Bigpay, apart from WISE?
*
No.

Techs are all the same. If you want reliability, banks cards.

Already have credit card, want additional prepaid and virtual card capability for safety. And also for contactless payments for elderly who are not good with smartphones.

How is the exchange rate and fees for online purchases and using the card on overseas trips (to Singapore, Australia and US for example) for POS payments? I don't plan to use Bigpay to xfer money except for (local) duitnow which is supposed to be free. The FAQ says competitive exchange rate up to 1% and network charge  - how does this compare to Wise? Not sure what the network charges are and I haven't compared exchange rates before which is probably a bad thing.

Transferwise seems to give a better rate and less disruptive than Bigpay. Bigpay blocked my international transfer without a care and waited for me to contact them. Even banks don't do that.

Possible to use credit card to reload tngo visa card. Then use tngo visa card as a debit card to reload bigpay. Then cash withdrawal from big pay ?
*
Possible although I haven't try. I'm more interested to know if T@NGo will ban the user alone or block the entire bigpay like gopay did.

For my case i did for 3 times. My wife’s account only once. Note it’s different BP accounts and TnG Visa cards. Now both can’t anymore. So I’m pretty sure there are some restrictions from TnG.

ehhhh? I thought that was enforced by DC issuer. Unless you're saying there is a possibility that T@NGo enforced the limit?

I don't have Wise MY card, so I couldnt test it. But tng card seems to be the most favourable so far, will update % above spot once the txns are captured 3 days from now.

I just tried Wise app for sending money. MYR equivalent of $10 is 44.33. Commission is 2.46. Total is MYR 46.79

Also want to add - so far, I never had any intentional interruption/interference (read : Suspicious Activity) from Transferwise unlike BP and T@NGo.

Errrr, nope. I just tried to send money instead of converting to my own wallet. Well, at least we have 2 prices to compare.

Holy Terror!

If switch phone with existing account.....really challenge banking. Yet, rarely hear traditional banking apps get nuked as much as techs.

effective 5 June 2023, bigpay gonna impose rm20 card fee upon request of physical card.

Hmmmmmmmmm they never give me a replacement card since the Mastercard expired. Card request link has been broken for months, probably will be fixed after June 5.

Edit : Nevermind, found another place to request the card by sliding the Virtual card over. The popup for card replacement simply doesn't work.

I highly doubt that they will charge for card renewals upon its expiration, check the Product Disclosure Sheet just to be sure

QUOTE(axxer @ Jun 10 2023, 09:59 PM)
Already did checked the in-app "card fees and other charges" but it was vague. Auto replacement for expiring physical card was never mentioned. I just keep my expectation low and expect the worse. 4 years is still long way to go, better competitor products might come.

When my Mastercard expired, have to manually apply for the Visa card. Dont think there is auto renewal unless business is booming.

Oh yeah, they claim to auto replace but I never got mine. Manually applied before the deadline for freebie ends.
