Also, to reward motorists who use their ATM cards at Petron petrol pumps, the company is running a campaign where a minimum spend of RM5 from Dec 12, 2019 until March 13 this year provides an entry to a contest to win up to 84 prizes including two grand prizes of the Proton X70.
There are also four weekly winners of RM500 Petron Gift Cards.
Also, using the ATM card at Petron petrol pumps does not result in the bank holding RM200 for up to 3 days.
"MyDebit is the only card scheme in Malaysia that does not hold RM200 at petrol pumps. Consumers can select the amount of fuel that they wish to purchase and only that amount is blocked during fuelling. If consumers refuel less than the amount selected at the start, all excess amounts are credited back to their bank accounts immediately after fuelling is done,” explained Peter Schiesser, group CEO of PayNet, the operator of the MyDebit card scheme.
Holding RM200 for up to 3 days even when a motorcyclist fills RM2 of fuel is a burden.
MyDebit and the 22 participating banks are putting consumer interests first by doing away with this practice.
“With 42 million ATM cards in circulation, virtually every customer carries an ATM card which they can use to pay for their fuel purchases," said Schiesser at the recent launch of “FUEL-YoooH MyDebit Je with your ATM Card!” at Petron Bandar Baru Kulim, Kedah.
The event was officiated by Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Also present were the ministry's secretary general Datuk Muez Abd Aziz and Petron general manager Faridah Ali.
"In a move to support a cashless society, all Petron customers can now experience an even easier, faster, more seamless and convenient payment process using their ATM cards at the fuel pumps. This underscores our commitment to provide innovative products and services as well as the best “Petron experience” to our customers,” said Faridah.
