Lol. My askari and Bankislami don't support MCB lite so can't get a third account . so I have the hassle of standing in line and waiting for ten minutes or more for deposition.

Yeah true. . But the card works wonders on.every store on the internet and the conversion rates charged are phenomenal. .almost the same as the open market dollar rate ..no extra charges. .and the amount transfers via standard chartered IBFT within seconds so no line and shitty service for me

im talking about MCB lite here just so you know ... MCB lite card ,,, standard chartered is great as a bank .. but the debit card from standard chartered works on very few web sites ... most websites require 3d authorization and SCB debit cards do not support that

Bro it sucks. Its slow and pathetic. And one person registered a complaint on their page that he sent the money and it hasn't been received yet.and MCB is not helping him anymore.
MCB can't top up ported mobile numbers . it sucks big time.

Can anyone confirm if bank alfalah credit card works on amazon and what charges they have for online shopping?

Thanks in advance.

Also, from reading this I understand that your are charged 5% taxes/fee when purchasing online? am I getting this right?

Bank Alfalah credit card works easily on Amazon (tried it in February) and the basic charges are Rs.100 for each online shopping session.
I am not sure about the rest charges.

Don't like the 100rs per session thing. Is this only for alfalah or also other banks services like ubl wiz and mcblite

Oh and thanks for the info

MCB lite is hands down the best service for Online transactions but ONLY if its lite 2 package. rest have way too low limits to do any decent shopping and getting lite 2 without opening an account in their bank can be very difficult. i had to struggle for months before my status was upgraded and that too when one of their branch manager(who is a close relative) helped me every step.

 

[ahmed anas]

Well for some one like me who buys maybe 5 things a year online I don't really need mcblite. Plus I don't have an MCB account so its to much of a hassle and I will need to invest about 2k in it..

[MENTION=4374]Journeys End[/MENTION]. .they upgraded mine to lite 2 without any issues and account opening. I had to just sign an undertaking bond paper as a teacher since they require salary proof to upgrade..
