I started to use Maybank Debit Card to purchase stuff online since 4 years ago
Until around June 2015, it always get declined or shown as "Not Valid" whenever i use it online
(Same for Paypal as i linked Maybank debit in my account)
This problems has been bothering me for a long time
(To shop online and usually book movie ticket online)
especially for someone who dun like to call bank, like me
Actually I really hate Maybank bcoz they r so mafan
4 years ago i was blocked by Maybank2U, cant log in cant chg pw, ntg
What they told me when i called for help is:
"Just dun try to log in, leave it for 1 year, the account will deactive, you can register for a new account by then"
Brilliant huh
I searched so hard online to see whether there's any solution to solve this
and that's wat i found
Maybank has disabled all the debit card for online purchase
To protect online user from becoming the victims of online frauds
(I dunno since when exactly, bcoz I never get notification or informed about that)
and to reactivate it, we need to contact bank to reactive debit online purchase
There are 2 ways to do so:
1. Call Maybank Customer Service Centre at 1300 88 6688.
2. SMS ONCNP12-Digit IC number to 66628
Since recently i was planning for a trip, and i need to make booking ASAP
Even though i hate calling bank, still i choose first method
Bcoz SMS will takes 2 working days, and phone call can activate immediately
I talked to the lady for 10mins
and she did helped me to unblock online purchase
However, its only for local transaction, and purchase limit is only Rm500
So she asked me whether i want to increase the purchase limit, at the same time she can activate overseas purchase for me as well
SO i said yes pleasee
Again she activated my overseas purchase for 6 months
(The max period is 1 year, min 1 month)
Lastly, I was told that my debit online purchase for both local and overseas transaction is activated
But i can't use overseas purchase yet bcoz i haven't register my phone no. for phone banking yet
Fxck
*I was thinking like, What the hell this is so troublesome ehhhhh
But it failed bcoz i cant rmb the last withdrawal amount
(It was 2 months ago =_=)
She told me to go ATM to register my phone banking PIN no
Then call her back, she will execute for me Zzz
I went to register after that
and tried to book flight from overseas agency after that, and it works LOL
So i din call her back to apply for the rest :P
