Malaysia Debit Card: Two Important Things You should Take Care While Use It

Besides different charge rate and refund period that we need to take care when we use our debit card in petrol station, there are another two important things we should know to avoid unnecessary loss when using our debit card. In this post, I am going to discuss them one-by-one based on my experience.


1. The receipt of Transaction


Situation:
What a surprise! Based on my observation, most people use to throwing away their receipt after any purchasing. This is a very dangerous behavior. On one hand, you cannot prove your transaction according if you want to claim something upon it, such as refund. On the other hand, it may cause delay of your inquiry because people take time to trace back your transaction, especially, you forget the date, the time, or the place of the particular transaction.

Rule of Thumb:
1. Keep all your receipts first, then check your transaction record from time to time, such as every week, before throw them away.

2. Incomplete Transaction due to Machine Malfunction

Situation:
This is a very serious thing if you insert your debit card but the transaction has not completed due to malfunction of the transaction machine. This is because your debit card account might be charged already even though the transaction was not successful.

Rule of Thumb:
If you find out that your account has been charged due to this problem, just go and log a report to the particular bank. What you need to do is just fill in a form and then submit it to the officer. Normally, the money will refund to your account. But don't forget to bring your receipt along to prove it, if any.


That's all for today. I hope your debit card will not bring you trouble in the future. Feel free to give me a comment about this topic or any suggestion about Xaivier Blog. It will be a great support to Xaivier Blog.
