   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 . :)

   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,

   I tried to add my Maybank Debit card to my Paypal account, but Paypal just seem not accepting Maybank Debit card… After adding the card with shows this message:-

   “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.

   Thanks.

   Malcolm:
   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.

   Hi Nazri. The issue is about withdrawal to Maybank’s Visa Debit card and not credit card. As of today, Maybank has not approved it for e-commerce transactions. This means the card cannot be used online including for PayPal payment funding.

   Hi Zaidi. The card can be used overseas provided you informed the bank first. However, using the card online and overseas are totally 2 different thing. Maybank has yet to allow e-commerce transaction for their Visa Debit Card. This also means you will not be able to add it to your PayPal account.

   So the conclusion is, is it possible to use it at paypal? Not withdrawing your funds from paypal to your visa, but from the debitcard(from the card holder’s account) it self to paypal, for example to purchase rapidshare via paypal. And is it transferable(In & Out)?

9. malcolm // Jan 12, 2009 at 11:46 pm

   Hi Mawi. You can’t use the Visa Debit card issued by Maybank online at the moment.

10. ikoko // Feb 14, 2009 at 9:49 am

    why not u using EON Debit Card (MasterCard) ?

    Paypal accept EON Debit Card

11. malcolm // Feb 14, 2009 at 10:17 am

    hi ikoko.
    I think most people want a card to withdraw PayPal funds as well.

12. ikoko // Feb 14, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    yes..

    anyway, i feel regret when I finally found out that Maybank Debit Card is not compatible with Paypal.

    Now I’m searching if there any online transaction which can using the Maybank Visa Debit Card..

    … did you know any?

13. malcolm // Feb 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm

    As far as I know, online transaction for Maybank Visa Debit Card has not been activated yet. You can call their card service number (usually the number is on the reverse of your card) to enquire. Thanks for visiting my blog! Need to update soon!

    Hi, have you tried to put RM25 or RM50 into your debit card?
    Paypal do need few USD to add your debit card into paypal.
    If you have no credit in your debit card, they will not allow you to add the debit card.

    I saw another article from another people facing this problem, but he is using PB Debit Card. After he added some fund into his debit card, then he can successful added his debit card into paypal.
    May be you can have a try.

15. malcolm // Feb 27, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    Yes evard. I wrote about it here http://www.malcolmwong.com/2008/01/14/common-problem-of-visa-electron-and-paypal-expanded-use-program/

16. ikoko // Feb 28, 2009 at 12:31 am

17. bigcityb // Apr 7, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    hi

    funny thing is PB rep said they charge a 5% withdrawal fee from Paypal. Is this true?

18. malcolm // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:49 am

    Hi bigcityb. It is not true as far as I know.

19. Hassu // Jun 11, 2009 at 6:28 pm

    Hi Malcolm.. I just want to ask u. What type of card in malaysia can i used to make online payment through paypal?

20. malcolm // Jun 11, 2009 at 6:48 pm

    Hi Hassu. If your issuing bank says your card can be for online payments, you can use that card for online payment through PayPal. Most card do support online transaction except cards like Maybank’s Visa Debit card.

21. Hassu // Jun 11, 2009 at 9:15 pm

    how abt if i used BSN matrix card? Can i?

22. Malcolm // Jun 11, 2009 at 9:55 pm

    Hi Hassu. I don’t know. You can always add the card to PayPal and you will know the answer. Previously, my friend was not able to add this card to PayPal.

23. Hassu // Jul 4, 2009 at 12:15 am
