PayPal Payment Denied Due to Maybank Visa Debit Card Purchase Limit

Many of my readers and myself have experienced problems using PayPal with Maybank Visa Debit card. Some payments via PayPal won’t go through when the funding source of the PayPal account is a Maybank Visa Debit card. We often receive the following message when PayPal denies payment despite having enough funds in our Maybank savings or current account of our Maybank Visa Debit cards.

Sorry, your payment won’t go through. To make it work, you’ll need to add money to your account and pay with your PayPal balance.

Thanks to my reader, we have a solution. Basically you will need to go to the Maybank ATM machine to increase your purchase limit. The following are the steps:

  1. After keying in your PIN number at the ATM machine, select “Other Transaction” menu.
  2. Then select the menu “Change Limit or Language”.
  3. Next, select the menu “Purchase Limit” and then “Preferred Limit”
  4. Enter your preferred limit and your IC number when prompted. The limit is per day.
  5. Proceed to select “Yes” to confirm your purchase limit.
  6. You can now pay online for higher amounts.

When I have the chance, I will upload some images taken while doing the steps above. I did the above at an old ATM machine and will probably need to take better shots again.

  6. Hi Lucas. Your question isn’t exactly clear.

  7. Hi, this is a question non-related to this post, but here i go anyway. I have attached a VISA card to my PayPal(PP) account 6 months ago,to which i have made numerous withdrawals. Yesterday i tried to make a withdrawal, but i keep getting a message asking me to add a card with a VISA logo, which i already have. I have tried to remove and add the card again, but an withdrawal seem impossible. Any idea what that is all about?

  8. Hi. the default purchase limit for Maybank debit vard is RM500, right?

    if i’m going to buy an item online from US and the total price is less than RM500, do i still need to increase purchase limit as the guide above?

    will it work if i don’t?

  9. hi DeeDee. I am sorry. I don’t have a clue.

    Hi quakeroat. You can always try but the payment is not likely to go through if your limit is less than your purchase amount.
