Maybank Rejects PayPal Funds Withdrawal to Visa Debit Card
Posted on March 24th, 2008 by malcolm
Not all credit or debit card issuers will allow PayPal funds withdrawal to their credit or debit cards. The newly launched Visa Debit card by Maybank is of no exception. Maybank as the card issuer has not allowed this activity.
When we tried to add this Visa Debit card for PayPal funds withdrawal, the following error message is displayed:
This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer’s customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card.
Even their customer service department does not seem to know what PayPal is!
Hey there malcolm, thanks for the thread .
it seems that maybank staff are noobs as usual whenever a new service or product is launched . All their tidak apa attitude is very irritating.
The front counter lady in maybank cheras hasn’t got the slightest clue too when i asked about Paypal.
She kept saying : This visa is for shopping in jusco ,now you don’t need to use your atm card.
after seeing your single thread i know maybank is not ready for Paypal yet. Maybe in future. PBB debit visa is the way to go for now . :)
[...] June 2008, Maybank is scheduled to enable online transactions for their Visa Debit card. I am keeping my fingers crossed after receiving the following email from Maybank. At present, we [...]
Malcolm,
Maybank visa debit card is not build for online purchases and withdrawal yet. So far, the best option is still belong to Tune Money and Al-Rajhi Bank Visa Debit Cards.

Hi Malcolm,

“This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer’s customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card.”
No problem with my Public Bank Visa Electron, I can add easily.

Dear Frank,
Thank you for your question. I visited your blog and I assume you are residing in Malaysia and my answer will be based on that assumption.
I would recommend you to use Public Bank’s Visa Electron or Al-Rajhi Bank’s Visa ATM Debit Card to avoid any withdrawal fee.
Both banks do not charge withdrawal fee if you use the card at their respective ATMs. However, if you are using VMI card issued in the US and withdraw your PayPal funds in Malaysia, there will defintely be charges during your withdrawal as specified by your card issuer.
Kindly check for withdrawal rates with your card issuer.
