马来西亚正逐步迈向无现金时代,不过目前却有许多商家在顾客要求刷卡时,要顾客缴付1至3%的刷卡手续费。这相等于鼓励顾客使用现金,和朝向无现金时代背道而驰。
根据国家银行(Bank Negara)的Payment Card Reform Framework显示,每次使用刷卡服务时,商家都需缴付Merchant Discount Rate (MDR)。部分商家却把这个MDR费用转移至顾客。
马来亚银行(Maybank)的银行卡服务条例和条款中有清楚的写明,商家不可要求持卡人缴付任何刷卡费用,无论是附加费、佣金还是折扣。(Unless otherwise provided by any written law for the time being in force, it shall not impose or require Cardholder to pay any surcharge, commission, discount whether through any increase in price or otherwise, or any other term or condition whatsoever on any Cardholder desirous of using the Card.)
因此当你发现商家使用Maybank刷卡机并要求你支付刷卡费用时,你可以选择向Maybank投诉又或者拨打国家银行的热线1300-88-5465举报。你也可以选择电邮bnmtelelink@bnm.gov.my进行投诉和举报。
