@Poyoh:
I don’t understand your question regarding ,”how many days does it take for use”. Are you asking how long it takes before you can withdraw money from your PayPal account into your Public Bank Visa Electron card? If so, I think (if I remember correctly) you will need to wait for the pin code that will be printed on your Public Bank statement to arrive. Then, you’ll need to key it into the system to activate your PayPal account. Once done, you can start transferring money into the card.

To check the balance in your debit card, you can go to any Public Bank ATM machines, insert it in, and check the balance there. You’ll need your pin code. It would be more convenient to have an e-banking account for the card that is attached to a savings account. I had my debit card and savings account linked up together with the ebanking account.

If you have not opened a Public Bank savings account yet, you will need to do so and request to open an ebanking account as well. Tell them that you want to connect both the savings account and the card together. It may take a longer time though compared if you were to have applied for the savings account at the same time with the card.

Dear TenthofMarch,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to verify my Visa Electron Debit Card on PBB website but it was not successful and called customer service who told me that I need to put some money into Visa card. So, I just did it (RM200). Now, my second question is how many days does it take for use and how to check the balance amount in the card? Do I have to apply for the ebanking system for visa??

Appreciate your advice and comments.

@Poyoh:
Make sure that you have loaded money into the card before you attempt to register it with PayPal. If I am not mistaken, there must be a minimum amount you need to have in the card before you can actually use it. On top of that, PayPal will charge your card the amount USD1.95 (I think) to get it registered. You will then get the pin number required to be entered into the PayPal system on your Public Bank statement. The USD1.95 will be rebated to you later on.

In short, just make sure you have some cash in the card (eg, RM50 or USD20) before you register it with PayPal. If that fails, contact Public Bank directly to enquire further details on the error.

I tried to register my Public Bank Visa Electron debit card to PayPal in order to withdraw my fund but got an error message stating that this cards has been denied by the bank. I received my debit card few days ago and have not yet used to purchase something or withdraw my money from my account with Public Bank, this is my first time to use the card.

I am not sure why my card was denied. I tried to register my card many times but it didn’t work.

Anyone here can help me??

I use etrade card to withdraw my paypal. Having heard about the PBB Visa Electron Debit Card is accepted by paypal, i applied and managed to get it. I banked in RM50. Few times tried, my card still rejected by paypal. Is it because i dont have the pin no from PBB yet?

No problem. I did not change the name in the PayPal system. As long as the card is yours, I think there shouldn’t be a problem. The name printed on my debit card is just part of my full name.

I am not sure if HSBC credit card is accepted in PayPal. I think it is. You can try it. However, it will work slightly different from debit cards. All cash withdrawals from PayPal into the credit card is will be used to deduct any expenses that is being charged to your card. There will be no charges (if I am not mistaken) unless if you try to withdraw money from ATM using your credit card. Since it is a credit card, withdrawing from ATM is considered as cash advance and will be charged. Debit cards will not be charged by this.

Hi TenthOfMarch,

You mentioned that your name appearing on the screen differed from the name printed on your Debit Card, did you change your paypal user name at the end?

Or does it matter to have the same name in PayPal and the debit card?
I haven’t applied for a debit card yet, thinking of doing so. But I do have a HSBC Visa credit card. Think I can use that? (Or will it be considered as a cash advance and hence render charges when I withdraw from PayPal?)

Sorry for piling your blog with so many questions. Just want to really make sure. Please advise. Thanks!

Apart from the RM25 that you transfered into your debit card, did you transfer any other amount into it? When you add your public bank visa electron debit card into PayPal, they will temporarily charge your card with a small amount — US$1 or 2 I think. So, you’ll need to top up your debit card with at least RM10.

My card was rejected the first time as well because of this problem. I transfered RM50 into my debit card and tried again — it worked. I hope this helps.
