Faysal Bank is the biggest member for both VISA and MasterCard currently in Pakistan doing the settlements.

Basically they are directly linked to them. So, simply said, in case something goes bad wtih a transaction they can sort it out easily.

Im using HBL and Faysal. Both never give me problems.

MCB is AWFUL! SCB and MCB are worlds apart.

Faysal Bank and SCB are the top banks for your card related needs.

Is your MCB LITE HERE?

And guys I went to FAYSAL BANK , they just want me to provide my dad's salary slip and CNIC copy . But the bad news their visa debit cannot be used for online transactions !

I went to SCB , they are only willing to open a basic banking account . Its like WTF

I have the option of opening a proper current account in Allied Bank by showing my unversity smart card , but its useless as their VISA wont work online.

You can transfer your funds to your MCB Lite from these banks: http://www.mcbmobilepayments.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IBFT-Banks-latest.pdf

I applied for the card on 18th they said it will be here within 10 working days
Ill let u know when its here


And I was told that u need atleast 1160 rupees in your account to activate the card .. its the yearly fee .. later on they will have joining fee of 1000 aswell which is waived for mcb account holders .. for now there's no joining fee

Rs. 1,160 is the initial deposit fee.

Sure test it out! I will get it activated on my campus! MCB signed a contract with LUMS to provide mcb lite on campus so I don't need to go to them! Which package will you choose?

i didnt need to go to the branch aswell .... just got off a 25 minute call with the representative .... got the card activated ... transaction/ATM pin registered .... guy told me to deposit atleast 1160 rupees within 24 hours ....

got the internet session activated indefinitely on the condition that no liability in case of misuse will be borne by MCB(hassle to activate it everytime IMHO)...

so ... when i asked for upgrade to LITE2 at first i was told that ill have to activate my unused MCB account(dormant ATM) to upgrade to LITE2 but later on the guy was told by a senior that i can do it ... maybe it was because i was in their database as an old customer but i dont know .. i havent used the bank's services since ages until this MCB LITE .... so LITE2 request will be fulfilled in 3 working days

i have only one question...can we use MCB lite to buy region exclusive stuff on play store like say Nexus 5. of course a US based address is needed for that but can the purchase be cleared using this card?

 

[faizy]

^ive used MCB lite on AMAZON with a fake UK based address and the transaction went thru just fine ... so should be good with play store too
