Hi guys,
I read in the net that Maybank launched a new Maybank Visa Debit Card, I said WOW! that would be great since I have a saving account with them.So, I am expecting free service, easy top up and more shopping at the Internet. I am glad more local banks start offering Visa debit card facility.
Steven Wong has made a summary about this new card :
To review whether this Visa debit card compatible to PayPal withdrawal, I spend sometimes to read on Maybank website, and here is the quick summary for your info:
- Max daily withdrawal limit: RM5,000.
- Daily accumulated purchase limit is RM500 and you can increase it anytime via bank’s ATM or over the counter branches to RM5,000.
- First four withdrawal is FREE while a service charge of RM0.50 per transactions per card chargeable from the fifth cash withdrawal transaction onwards per month. However, service charge will be waived if your savings or current account has a balance of above RM5,000 at the time of withdrawal or the withdrawal amount is RM1,500.
- Service charge for withdrawal transaction for:
- Maybank’s Group ATM in Singapore, Brunei and Philippines: RM2 each
- MEPS network: RM1 each
- Visa Plus Network: RM12 each
- Existing Maybank ATM card holders can convert their cards with the one time cost of RM12. It is also the same cost for card replacement.
- However, if you used up to 7 years (upon the expiry date, you will get the replacement at FOC).
- Earn 1 TreatPoint for every RM3 purchases.
- No annual fees, monthly interest rates or late charges.
So, since I am a Tune Card user plus have a Maybank saving account, I think it would be good if I compare this two card, rite ?
Below is a brief comparison of our very own Tune card Prepaid Visa Card vs Visa-branded debit card
 |
 |
|
| Product | Maybank Visa Debit Card | Tune Card Visa Prepaid |
| Charge/Fees | - Service charge for withdrawal transaction for:
Maybank’s Group ATM in Singapore, Brunei and Philippines: RM2 each MEPS network: RM1 each Visa Plus Network: RM12 each |
Annual fee ; RM 9.99
RM 2 only for Top Up at CIMB Bank, POS Malaysia and BSN RM 1.15 withdrawals at CIMB ATM machine RM0.50 only for online top up |
| Internet Transaction | No | Yes |
| Cash Out PAYPAL | NO | YES |
| Top Up | Maybank Only | Maybank2u,CIMB and POS office |
Conclusion,
I better stick with Tune Visa Prepaid Card, Why ? As you can see it is more flexible and Internet friendly. The most important thing is you can withdraw your PayPal money with it.:)
By the way, you can use Maybank ATM card in Petronas Petrol Pump and selected Supermarket so why Maybank want to promote this Debit card instead. I think their business idea for this Debit card is weak because you don’t want to go abroad only carrying debit card right?. At least you must have a spare credit card for emergency.
For me, debit card or Prepaid card is only suitable for Internet transaction. Buy ticket,hosting,domain and eBay online. So if maybank overlook this thing than their debit card will be nowhere compared to by Tune Prepaid Visa Card.
Several feedback that I got :
1. The question now is: Can Maybank Visa Debit cards compatible to PayPal withdrawal? I search on the web and try to find any review on that, unfortunately, there is no review so far. The closest was Uncle FL Sam on his withdrawal to Maybank Visa Credit Card.
So, I called up this morning to Maybank Customer Service to find out the details. The Maybank staff that I spoke to also not sure whether it is workable. After 20 minutes checking and waiting, she told me “NO” for PayPal withdrawal. steven wong
2. I try to add MBB Visa Debit card with Paypal, its not work. The following message will appear…
“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.” zahidi

interesting review. thank you for making it. tunecard seem to be more interesting. maybank visa debit card sound so crap!
hi steven,
thanks to you too for the review
EL,
it’s up to you now
But to withdraw from maybank atm machine it’s free for the first 4 times in a month, subsequent withdrawal will cost 0.50… Yup it does suck that maybank debit card does not support for paypal withdrawal. But a bit of info la, I just call them to ask if they are planning to allow internet transaction and they answer that they will allow it after June this year.
karulann’s last blog post..A different kind of feeling going back to KL
I’ve just applied Maybank’s visa credit card for the purpose of PayPal withdrawal. I hope there would be any problem with it. Lankapo, based on your article, there shouldn’t be any problems right?
I can i use Tunemoney Prepaid visa card to deposit my money to ANY FOREX BROKER? Esp..www.fxcm.com, Plz help……..
sksee,
I will give you solid proof that Maybank debit card wont work for paypal or internet transaction, just visit here
manz,
I am not sure since I never try forex, but if it is internet transaction, then Tune Card should be no problem
thx for the info..i change my mbb card for internet purpose..never make a research..now its all wasting…aiyoooo
helpermaster,
hehe sorry to hear that, but as Karulan said, internet transaction will be available after June. Just wait and see
i hope u guys read this comment.
It maybe off topic … but Maybank actually charges RM0.50 for every ATM withdraw after 2nd withdraw in a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is outrageous! You can check on your bank book … it’s perfectly written in a very very small font.
Funny is, other local banks do not make this scrupulus rule.
I noticed that paypal said “you can withdraw paypal to any debit card, credit card or prepaid card with Visa logo”.
I am interested at the “credit card” part. Has anyone withdraw into a credit card? How does it work compared to debit card?
I had one Matta Visa Credit Card from EON Bank. I had entered it successfully into paypal withdrawal options without any error, but I am still skeptical if it really works!
Any ideas?
Thanks lankapo, i can deposit my forex with tunemoney…hehehehehe….
I’ve personally tried up for maybank visa debit card. The answer is “NO” for paypal withdrawal. i’ve no idea why is it so, as they claimed it is a visa debit card. i wonder why there are difference standard for maybank to their debit visa card.
To conformed that tunemoney VISA card can withdraw money from PayPal account.

hi mc,
thanks for the conformity
Actually I asked Maybank and they said Internet transactions will only be activated from next month onwards. At this moment, you cant buy anything online using this card because the bank has not activated this feature, which is one of the reason you get error on Paypal.
but it’s a bit unfair to pay RM2 each time to top up the money.
i dint see any other debit card need to charge for this:(
LC,
just use Tune Card, top up online only RM 0.50
is Maybank Debit card available to the Philippines ???
Beverlys last blog post..A Friendster site for Dogs ?!?
LC,
where does it say they charge for top up for mbb debit visa?
did I miss it somewhere.
ahaha, LMAO .. I just tried the Internet transaction and it failed! The credit card has not been active. T.T
how to apply
i tried to top up online but failed.
feel a bit inconvenient.
if topup at cimb, need to go to counter or cash deposit machine also can?
aiya…i just apply the Maybank debit card and it cost me rm12,
actually I just renew a card because of forgotten password, now total waste of rm24 already , oh my god!
I should read your blog earlier mar..
I want to withdraw money from paypal,
is true that paypal doesnt accept maybank debit card,
may I know how and where to apply TUne card?
Thanks.
@ carol – hehe you should read my blog. Anyway, as far as I know, Maybank Debit Card is not ready for online transaction and to withdraw money from paypal. Some say will be ready by this August, but nobody confirm about that.
As for Tune Card, you can apply online at http://www.tunemoney.com.
1.Fill in the form
2. Remember all your id,password and 3 answer to your secret question (better to write it)
3. reload your tune card using maybank2u better.you can relaod manually at POS office,CIMB and BSN.
4. After 7 working days, pick up your card at your selected POS office.
5. Activate it
then you can use it .
more info/tips please visit http://www.tunemoney.tl.my
okay, great to have you prompt and supportive reply,
I just through the website of tunemoney, sound good.
but withdraw will charges..
first time apply fee, how much in total?>
is it rm9.90 plus rm3 pos office fee
= total or rm12.90?
i planning that I only wihtdrawn the money after my paypal transfer a big amount to it. so only charge rm1.15 one time ..
@ carol – thanks, just reload RM 50 (min) using maybank2u. They will deduct RM 9.90 per year. RM 3 for pick up at POS office.So total -RM 12.90
for Foreign Exchange / Conversion Fee: + 0.5% not much I think
Yes Rm 1.15 at CIMB ATM per transaction.
Why bother to withdraw the money from ATM, you can use it what..
I pay for my daughter swing at Carrefour using Tune Card.
oh..sound not bad. I will apply later..but just now if not mistaken i read a part said that ..free for first 4 withdrawer, then fifth will charge..i forget what is that, now i cant find it .. ==’
@ carol – that one is for Maybank Debit Visa Card.
Is great to have TuneMoney!
and it’s easier to Top-up also!
and the charge is for as low as RM 0.50 only!
better stick to TuneMoney!
@ cold-fire – thanks for the recommendation hehe
ok
Hi, anyone try verify ebay with Public Bank debit card?
I have Public Bank Saving account, so i apply a debit card from them,
but sigh..have to wait two weeks!
I afraid after two weeks, I only found that the card cannot use to verify ebay. Any idea?
or I need to apply Tune Money while waiting?
Tune money really works in ebay?
Pls advise, Thanks
hi carol – Public Bank Debit card can be use for internet transaction as far as I know la. So wont be a problem to verify for ebay.
oh..ok, thanks for the prompt reply..I have to patiently wait for it …two weeks..
right now, i just prefer with tunemoney. Not have problem anymore.
I think I needly one tune money ..
Hi Bro,
How fast it takes to transfer fund from PayPal to Tunemoney account so far you experienced? TIA
@ kotoh – 3- 4 days bro
Thanks Bro,
That’s great, less than 5 days. I just received my tune card yesterday and waiting 4 the PIN number. I think RM 1.15 per cash withdraw is quiet reasonable… well, cash is still the best.
BTW, is it can be use as a credit card? I mean, just swept and sign the receipt? Is it accepted as long as VISA logo is shown by shop etc? Sorry for the machine gun question, but TIA Bro.
kotoh,
1. great to hear that, remember to activate your card before you use it ok.You can read at my tunemoney.tl.my on how to activate it.
2. Of course it can be use like a credit card provided visa logo is displayed, but remember to relaod the Tune Card with enough cash
. I bought my daughter’s swing at Carrefour Alamanda Putrajaya using Tune Card 
Help…I calling tune money but I been waitd for more than half and hour but still no body answer me!!!

carol,
ok calm down my friend.
1. how did u relaod, online using maybank2u is it?
if the transaction failed, please check your balance to see if Tune Money already deducted the amount or not ?
2. If your money is still there, then try to reload it again
.
According to your story, you have problem with maybank2u rite not tune money.Make sure your browser allow pop up from tunemoney.
no la..i am ok, no need calm down hehe..
I follow the instruction all, follow until the bank in part,
and they make me log in to my maybank account.
