yeah, it's a way to discourage withdrawals for your savings stay as savings. iirc is either $6 or $8 per w/d for the extras.

Two free withdrawals per quarter after which it's $4 per additional debits.

Yes been using RBL Visa Debit Cards years now with no problems. Works great with PayPal. But RBL are not renewing them or issuing news ones as far as I know.

Same for RBC. Seems its only RBC and RBL visa debit cards has contactless so far with the same $300 limit.

@Duane, I've used contactless at various merchants such as Starbucks, Mini bar POS, some couriers, Superpharm etc.

Most of the sales clerks are either not trained properly or just taught to grab your card and put it in the slot. Some actually punch in the figures and hand you the machine. Once I see the terminal has it or looks new, I ask. With some I had to sign the slip after even for small transactions. So I guess its also how the terminal is configured.

Saw PEAKES UNIPET has the contactless as well. Didnt try it though. Some other food merchants has it as well.

Thats the prepaid Visa. I have it as well. Works well, but the new RBL Visa Debit. Has anyone tried it online for a purchase as yet?

I know RBC is rolling out theirs. Seems like its a bank race all of a sudden.

Yes I meant the Visa Travel Money VISA debit card.
The new RBL Visa Debit Cards is their new chipped LINX card with a VISA debit logo?

I have the Scotiabank version and while you can use it for up to $100/day in a foreign ATM to withdraw cash, it doesnt work at the foreign point of sale... yet.

I spoke to someone in RBL today
So he says it should work for online purchases, but the only ting would be you not paying in USD for your item at checkout, they will charge it in TTD.
So be careful using it, because some online stores that accept TTD does use some high ass exchange rates, so don't be shocked if you buying online & the rate you see 8.50 : 1 at checkout

It should be the same as using a TTD credit card. The exchange rate is what the bank selling rate is on that day.

Good to know.

Funny enough, has anyone who is using the RBL Visa Prepaid/Travel Card notice that Paypal is forcing a conversion to TTD?

That new one self I’m talking about not the old one. The one that links directly to your bank account, anyone use that to make online purchases or receive money?

Apparently they have a new account type with no ATM charges.

Cost of ABM transactions at other banks:
Approved cash withdrawal - $4.00
Declined cash withdrawal - $1.15
Approved Balance Enquiry - $0.75
Declined Balance Enquiry - $0.75

Thanks, I really didn’t know.
I’m glad there is an option with no ATM charges as the Time Saver has charges.
Although I don’t see a reason for charging your customers to use your own ATM.
Other bank ATMs, sure.

daxt0r · Postby **daxt0r** » December 12th, 2020, 6:20 am

never knew about that E-Free account, i know the TimeSaver had free online transactions but has monthly fees.
Are you sure the online transactions are for free, cuz i know with SavingsPlus it is not. For solely this reason i shifted to FCB and RBC as whats the point having an online facility and charging me transaction fees to pay my own RBL CC from my own RBL account.
If you do call for more info validate is no monthly fees AND no transactions fees.

Also anyone had any luck sending/receiving money or buying stuff online with the new Visa Debit card (not the prepaid one), failure with FCB, not really concerned about purchases more about ability to receive. That might be the one reason ah jump back in that RBL pit.

looking like a serious push to motivate customers to use online & electronic banking, with that thing about no fees at ATM's or monthly charges.
Hadda inquire about this consiering that I already do practically everything online& electronically anyways

Banana Republic banking.

sekhar_777 · Postby **sekhar_777** » July 5th, 2021, 9:43 am

After getting to the old pwd/new pwd screen on the app early this morning, when pressing submit, it just refused to progress.

When trying online web tried both old pwd and new got these messages:
Either this error: The username and password do not match
Or: Contact the bank with the reference id: 4de2a27f-6b75-44d2-aeda-f8b42c283ce9

Of course resetting pwd won't work because it no longer uses previous security questions (multiple). You have to setup 1 new one that I never got to do. :roll:

Couldn't log in on the app. Got thru on the website then got thru on the app.
And now my credit card is missing from my online accounts but all other accounts there.

You know, I figured there would be some issues with this launch.

So on Friday, I paid my credit card and other bills in full just in case.

Yay me. lol.

Def does not look good on Republic's side.

In a serious country, there would have been consequences...
