PayPal Withdrawal Review on Maybank Visa Debit Card

Last week Friday I read on the newspaper on the newly launched Maybank Visa Debit Card. I am glad more local banks start offering Visa debit card facility.
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.
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.
I have not test myself on Maybank Visa debit card so if you have successfully withdraw through your Maybank Visa debit card, please let my readers and me know the details.

adrian oh @ 9:53 pm:
for a big bank like maybank, you really cannot expect their front liner (customer service) to know much. They are trained on general questions only.
So, when comes to something unknown, their supervisor will just tell them - "Just say NO". - as this is the safest answer.
Steven Wong @ 11:13 pm:
No Adrian! I didn't ask the branch front liner but call up to the Maybank Customer Service Toll Free Number, in case you overlook on my posting above.
I really hope someone just ignore this review and go ahead to test with the Maybank Visa debit card and let me know the positive outcome. Since Uncle Sam can withdraw on Visa Credit card, I think it might able be done on Debit card.

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."
Faiz Wahab @ 10:44 am:
Yeah man… I already tried adding this card to my PayPal. And no.. this card can't be used to withdraw money from PayPal.

Since the Paypal withdrawal using local debit/credit card does not work, what is the BEST method to withdraw money in Malaysia.
Secondly does anyone use clickbank facility for online business in Malaysia?

lankapo @ 12:00 pm:
I am quite surprise that a big company like Maybank still charge you per withdrawal.But still cannot use for internet transaction or paypal..too bad
ajith,
you can use tune card to withdraw your paypal money.come over to my site and read all about it
Kay Kastum @ 1:00 pm:
Perhaps you need to have enough funds in it first. I used PBE bank one and had the same error message. Once I added like more than RM50 then it works like a miracle. Try lah. Who knows?
Ajith @ 4:55 pm:
Thank you Kay Kastum.
Any idea how to withdraw using clickbank account here in Malaysia?
EliteVillain @ 9:28 pm:
anyone tried the maybank debit card yet? Because it is the most economic debit card compared to PB.
I had made a comparison among 3 debit cards in Malaysia, so check it out.

By the way, if you wish to verify the debit card you will need to have to spend the $1.95 to Paypal only then your debit card is verified. I believe that is what Kay meant.

Have any1 tried this card for online transaction such as buying gifts outside of malaysia or pay for webhost / domain?
March 29, 2008
Faiz Wahab @ 12:26 pm:
I have tried doing internet transaction.. everything failed.
I have money inside my debit card since the card is linked directly with my Maybank account.. so no problem in that.
NextG from AmBank works fine with Paypal. So does Public Bank's VISA Electron.. so I guess Maybank really is blocking this card from being used in the internet. Or at least that is what their service agent told me when I called them.
EliteVillain @ 7:20 pm:
i don't know why unable to verify paypal account by using Maybank debit card, because the paypal itself did states that debit cards will be accepted if they have Visa or Mastercard logo. You can see this statement when you try to "add a card" to paypal….

Funny why they are blocking it anyway? To prevent fraud, security countermeasures?

Kay: Thanks for the speedy reply even before I manage to read all the new comments.
Ajith: You can refer to my other post about which cards can be used for PayPal withdrawal.
Lankapo: Which post show you are able to withdraw via Tune card? Can you show us?
Yoman: There are other users tried and the answer is "NO" at the moment. Why not you try other debit cards or Maybank credit card if you have one?
Faiz Wahab: We are on topic on "How to withdraw fund from PayPal". While you are talking about whether it can be linked to Paypal for online purchases. It is the bank discretion to allow you to purchase product online but not PayPal. Please don't mis-guide the readers here.
EliteVillain & BorneoGuy: There is nothing wrong with the PayPal but issue arises from the card issuer (which is bank). It is bank's discreation that allow you to use for internet purchases or overseas fund top-up.

This morning I applied and received my MayBank Visa Debit Card with a hope that it could be linked to my PayPal account. My Public Card Debit card was rejected earlier.
Unfortunately my MayBank Visa Debit Card was rejected too. My NexG AmBank MasterCard Debit Card was accepted about two years ago but I couldn't transfer my PayPal fund. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Friwo Chong @ 1:02 am:
PB Visa Electronic how can link with paypal. I try several time it cannot leh. How????
August 4, 2008
Steven Wong @ 4:20 pm:
Hi Friwo,
Are you linking that for withdrawal or verification purposes? If you are for withdrawal, it is quite simple, just add your card and start withdraw the fund. I am getting my Public Bank debit card soon, will write here once I try myself.
If you are for verification, I suggest you try on credit card coz I never link it for verification purposes, although it can be done in theory.

Hi Lankapo,
I haven't tried or hear anyone tried on Maybank card since the last time I post about the review. I assume it is still can't withdraw paypal fund.
The reader might said he/she use for online purchase but not withdrawal. Please clarify with him/her whether she is withdraw fund or online purchases.
