Improvements for BigPay
1) Back to the fundamental question, why you want to add your friends in your BigPay account? Obviously, we want to transfer money or request for money. BigPay is not a social site for chat or make friends
2)BigPay showing a listing of "friends" from your phone address (could be outdated contacts, one time off supplier, gas service, etc ) and it is like inviting mistake to happen. I can't prevent who to add and not to add.
3) Telcos always recycle mobile# - you will never know when your old friends change their number
In terms of security measure, BP should learn from the leading e-wallet Wechat.

Why learn from WeChat?
1) To add a friend in WeChat, the user has to send a friend request and must be accepted by your friend ( handshake to confirm they are your friend ).
2) WeChat has a unique user ID and WeChat does not allow recycle of ID and also WeChat user will update their contact if they change phone#. This works exactly like how bank will not recycle savings account#.
3) Contacts in your WeChat account are your friends, so if mistakes happen you could recover your money. Otherwise ban them forever.... lol

FYI, I called BP within a minute and requested to freeze the amount for dispute but the CS said need to discuss with her Team Leader who will step into office at 9am. She rest assured me that i could recover my money as long as i have filed the dispute form - keeping my fingers crossed. @BigPayJonathan please help!

I couldn't see the mobile number. All I see is several with the same name like "Robert" and don't know which one is the correct ones.

People go by many names. They could be listed as Mr Tan or Tan A.K or Robert Tan in the contact list. But when they register with BP, they would be using their full name like Tan Ah Kow.

So it's confusing. Since BP have access to the phone's contact list, may be better to show both the contact list name Robert Tan AND the full name Tan Ah Kow and the photo, if any.

That is why when I sent money, I will just send RM 1 and get them to confirm back. Only after that, I send the full amount.

Mine Android.

I have sent money to a friend. After that, on my apps, I now found 3 names belonging to the same person.
1. Contact list name, TAK. I picked this name to send money to.
2. After money sent, it shows Tan Ah Kow on transaction. This must be his IC name.
3. Robert Tan. No idea where that came from, probably from his Facebook?

It is a mess.

No. 3 is the preferred name that your friend set under account setting. I agree with you it's a mess. BigPay app should show contact list name AND IC name right before you confirm the transaction.
The number in contact list is an old number no longer used by my friend. The number is recycled and the new owner register it for Boost app. That's what happen to me, the number tied to my friend in my contact list but Boost shows another name.

He only use ONE name to set up his BP account, the IC name (Tan Ah Kow). I don't think BP will accept any other name like Robert Tan beside the IC name. That is why I say I have no idea where that Robert Tan name came from and that raises an important issue, what else does BP know that we don't? What other data are they accessing that we don't know about?

BP should display these simultaneously when sending money:
1. TAK because we are familiar with this name and this is the name in our contact list.
2. The full IC name, Tan Ah Kow.
3. The phone number.
IC number are private and shouldn't be shown.

why not ask your friend request money from u?

Nope. But in his own phone, he calls himself Robert Tan. Just checked.

So now we seem to have all these 3 different name belonging to the same person all appearing in Bigpay.

1. Your contact list as TAK
2. His BP registration name of Tan Ah Kow.
3. He call himself Robert Tan in his phone.
And we don't get to see his phone number in BP. This is indeed a mess.

You are lucky.
Last time i mistake transferred, bigpay cannot help.
They ask me call the person to ask it back. Which of course the first thing i did after notice the problem.

Then about 2 or 3 days later, bigpay replied me that nothing they can do.

Transferring via phone number is a problem.
My friend nickname not displayed in the app, only their full name which i dont know.

Same thing will happen with duitnow, if someone get my old number, if transferring without knowing the name. Good luck to that guy.

For Duitnow, you will see the name.

BP should learn Boost..... got name appear before transferring.

Boost shows your phonebook name AND Boost registered name (presumably name on the IC) side by side when you select the name and then shows the registered name when you key in the amount.
BigPay shows only your phonebook name when you select and key in the amount. BigPay registered name will only appear in the transaction list, AFTER you send the money.

You will see the problem when your friend changed their number and your phone book is not updated.

BigPay also will display full name. But, boonhan said he dunno his friend full name.. he expect BigPay to show nickname instead?
As I know, Boost will display the name the recipient put in his/her boost acc.. I have once notice my friend name is different with his real name.. then when I asked him, he said he also just notice his name got typo, then he amended it, after that I can see the amended name when I try to transfer again..

I have noticed. For past couple of days and spending a couple of thousand, my total points (11K) stays the same despite getting messages saying there are additional points. Is there a limit of how many points the apps can handle?
Same. BP can't be used.

I pernah used terminal before. GHL, Alliance version.
You need to select whether is Credit or Debit only, very seldom it has Prepaid as option.
I never swipe Prepaid for customer, so unsure what merchants selected while i swiped at their store. Did not ask though.
Master/Visa only need to record to POS system for record, the terminal basically able to differentiate whether the card is visa or master.
Hmm...So Agoda is not BO friendly? If more confirmation, then i will add it to the list on Post #01.

Successfully used BigPay to book hotels through Agoda.com (desktop) on 22nd Oct 2018
1st transaction paid with MYR (Title showed: Accommodation & Hotel) -- OTP received
2nd transaction paid with hotel local currency (Title showed: Transportation  ) -- NO OTP and directly paid

Both also received Agoda confirmation emails

So... in summary if buying from Taobao this coming 11.11, it is better to use BigPay linked to AliPay and charge in RMB?

Checked the rate today with 3-Nov, the rate maintains at RM60.72.
So, there is still 2% on top of it.
Please submit more samples to monitor BP actual rate.

Sorry, trying to understand all scenarios here!

Your regular bank will charge you anything between 1 to 5% of mark-up fee on top of their exchange rates when paying in a foreign currency. What are the objective reasons why you'd want to pay with a different card than BigPay? Just cashback / rewards?

Actually I have used few times for BigPay linked from Alipay, rate is as good as XE.com.
Of course after adding in the standard 3% and no more additional. Looks like I will need to try soon.

Hi guys, did bigPay have charges on oversea transaction?

I did swipe one transaction in China on November 1 , which is RMB 800 ( MYR 479.65)  , and the initial currency rate was RM 59.95 per RMB 100.

And I have constantly checked the currency on November 2 and 3, the currency rate is at Myr 60.4 per RMB 100.

However today ( November 3) , the transaction final settle is MYR 495.53. Which equivalent to MYR61.94 per RMB 100, that’s a huge difference in currency.

Anyone has any idea on this?

My recent transaction to ctrip:

Oct 28 CNY140 (MYR84.15) settled at MYR84.19 (CNY100=MYR60.135)
Nov 2 CNY356 (MYR213.15) settled at MYR216.15 (CNY100=MYR60.716)

I've used the mastercard conversion rate to check with 0% bank fee and it's exactly the same amount charged. PBB would have charged 1.25% bank fee.

Yea, i have dropped them an email as well as gave them a call.
Also provided few screenshot of my transaction details.

1. Yesterday pending rate = 3.015
2. Today Settle rate = 3.035
3. Yesterday Master Card Rate = 3.012

I realized that 2 days back the Master Card rate was 3.035 as well, perhaps they follow the wrong date Master Card rate.
