@miss: You can use it like a normal “credit card” to do your online purchases, pump petrol, pay at restaurant, etc WITHOUT opening a savings account. You only need to open the savings account if you want to apply for the ebanking service AND connect the debit card with the savings account. If you do this, you can transfer money to and from the card and your savings account online.

@Gabby
You will get the PIN to the debit card through snail mail, a few days or week(s) after receiving your debit card. They send it separately for security reasons.

If you want to have online banking for your debit card, you will need to:
1) Apply for a savings account
2) Request to combine/connect the savings account and the debit card
3) Apply for online ebanking account

If you don’t apply for a savings account, you cannot have online account for debit card.

[...] The only thing I was expecting to receive is my Public Bank Visa Electron debit card. Since my debit card application was only processed a week ago, I wasn’t too optimistic about it. However, I was hoping that it was my debit card waiting [...]

@leona
Wow, that is slow. That is why I included my RM25 check together with the application form. I got my card today

I applied for mine at the Kajang branch on 4th Oct, and only received the letter to confirm my application and that I needed to bank in RM25 yesterday, so that’s like nearly a month. I don’t know how to long to wait for the card to be ready for pick up. It’s definitely extremely slow process….

@hcfoo
Yeah, must have been.

@Jys
Yeah, I suspected that sending in through the branch, and wait for them to send to the HQ will take longer. I think they send the forms to the HQ once a week or something like that, definitely not daily to reduce cost. And what the HQ will do is to process the forms in batches also. *sigh*

@KennyP
Wah, like that also can? I think you better check with PosLaju to make sure it isn’t lost during transportation. Maybe PB haven’t enter your application into their system yet.

I have just called them after reading your post, you know what they told me? They said that they didn’t receive my application form yet.

OMG, I sent the application form using PosLaju one day earlier than you.

Public Bank is too slow..

I submitted on the 5th of Oct to the branch, the branch showed me HQ confirmed received my application on the 9th of Oct, and only on 24 Oct my application is in their system…
