Debit Card
How to make purchases with your Debit Card?
- Look out for retailers that display the VISA/MasterCard/MyDebit logo or with Point-of-Sales (POS) terminal.
- At the payment counter, allow the cashier to assist and to pay using your Debit Card via contactless transaction or chip & PIN transaction method into the POS terminal. For contactless transaction, you are required to tap your Debit Card on the contactless terminal. For chip & PIN transaction, you are required to chip in your Debit Card into the terminal and enter your PIN.
- For contactless transaction of RM250 and below, no PIN is required.
- Once transaction is completed, always remember to take back your Debit Card.
How your Debit Card will be accepted by a retailer?
- Your Hong Leong Debit Card supports two (2) Debit Card brands – either Visa/Master and MyDebit which allows your card to be accepted both overseas and in Malaysia. By supporting both of these Debit Card brands, there are more retail outlets that will accept your Debit Card for payment in Malaysia and overseas.
- When using your Hong Leong Debit Card at retailers in Malaysia, a retailer may choose to accept and process the payment on your card using either MyDebit, VISA or MasterCard. This is the retailer’s choice and allows the retailer to process the payment via their chosen Debit Card network. Please be aware that you are not able to request the retailer to change their chosen Debit Card network.
