Counting down to Frankfurt - part 2 - money

Heard Germany is not too common to use credit card, it is their nature that they do not like to use credit, but debit/cash, and they do save a lot. Maybe this is the reason it is the 'dai goh' for Europe now, I means from the economy stability wise. The nature of saving had protected them from the credit crisis.

So, I decided to use this way to support my daily expenses there:
- exchange some cash
- bring the credit card, also the debit card that I just get it from MBB today

MBB VISA debit card

VISA debit card is very similar to ATM card, all transactions will deduct money directly from your bank account. Debit card can be used to withdraw money from ATM machine, also those those merchants (shops) that has the VISA logo with it. So basically it can be use more widely as compare to ATM card lah.

No extra charges as compare to ATM card, except there is RM 12 charges to switch the card. The maybank2u a/c is remains the same with this new card also.
