I called Apple store previously and the receptionist told me bank transfer takes about 5 to 7 days. Order processing and delivery takes 3 - 5 days. In total about 2 weeks. Using credit card is faster, usually transaction processing can be done on the day itself.
BTW I am so unhappy with the Maybank debit card I have. Can't do any online transaction. And my main purpose of applying the card is to shop online. Now I can't use it for that at all. Useless card. =( And debit card has to be carefully handled because once you lose it, people can use your money directly. Feels like carrying a bomb with me lol.
Enough rants. lol. Sorry I got drifted away.
Then let me drift you back....

Like nimrod(whatever number he is) has said, public bank debit card can be used for online transaction, whether it's on itunes or paypal. I've even tried it on HK-based online portals. Everybody knows Maybank debit card is known not to work thru online transaction so it's crap.
All debit cards can be a bomb if you tie them to your current or savings accounts. It's logic isn't it...? So instead of doing that, you may be safer if you could just manually cash in at the point you wanna make a purchase. It also saves you from over-spending in case you're a shopaholic type. Troublesome, yes, but safer. Wanna get rid of the "manual cash-in" hassle, just get a credit card.
