GENERIC QUESTIONS
What is a Finexus-Issued Visa Prepaid Card (the Card)?
The Card is a cashless payment instrument that allows you to purchase goods and services at
all VISA accepting merchants WORLDWIDE. It also allows cash withdrawal at any of the
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) that display the VISA and/or PLUS logo.

Funds must be loaded into your Card Account prior to usage. You may only use the Card
according to available funds preloaded into your Card Account.

No credit check or opening of a bank account is necessary for this Card. It will not be linked
to any bank account, as it is a stand-alone Card Account.

What is a Card Account?

A Card Account is a virtual account created after the Card is activated. All preloaded funds will
be kept in this account. Please ensure that this Card Account is preloaded with sufficient funds
before any transaction is made.

Can I use the Card like a credit card?

Yes, you may use the Card to make purchases at all VISA accepting merchants, online
purchases and cash withdrawals. However, you can only spend the amount you have
preloaded into the Card Account.

How is this prepaid card different from a credit or debit card?

The main difference is that this Card utilises the money that is preloaded into the Card
Account. Whereas a credit card provides a Line Of Credit to be utilised upfront and payment
is settled subsequently. As for a debit card, it is virtually linked to your bank account where
funds are directly deducted from.

This prepaid card is similar to a prepaid mobile account; you are required to have credit in
your phone account before any calls can be made. In this same manner, the Card can only be
used when there is sufficient credit.

What are the benefits of having the Card?

 You won’t go into debt; spend within your means;
 You will enjoy the convenience and security of not carrying large amounts of cash;
 Convenience in making payments for goods or services worldwide at over 24 million
merchant outlets that carry the VISA logo;
 Cash withdrawal from any VISA and/or PLUS enabled network ATMs; and

 As a VISA cardholder, you will enjoy discounts at various VISA accepting merchants
worldwide. For more information, visit www.visa.com.

How can I obtain my online portal account?

Step 1 : Proceed to www.finexuscards.com.
Step 2 : Click on the ‘SIGNUP’ tab on the Home Screen and it will guide you
accordingly.
Note: please ensure the ‘User ID’ is the same email address as stated in your card application
form.

What do I need to do before I can use my Card?

You must activate the Card prior to loading funds into the Card Account. To activate the Card,
here are the options:
1. Login to your online portal account and click on the ‘Card Activation’ button; or
2. Call us.

Once the Card is activated, proceed to our Reload Channels to load your Card Account.

Do not forget to sign the signature panel on the back of your card upon activation before
carrying out any transactions.

Are there any types of transactions I should notify you before transacting?
Yes, there are. You must explicitly provide us your consent to transact overseas and card-not-
present transactions (i.e. good/services paid and/or delivered via telephone, mail, fax or
internet (including mobile apps) and/or recurring payments).

To provide your consent, please:

 Call us; or
 Download and complete the ‘Opt-In/Opt-Out Request Form’ from our website then
email/fax it back to us.

Once we have received and updated your consent, you can use the Card for purchases at any
VISA accepting merchants and you may withdraw cash at any VISA and/or PLUS enabled ATMs
worldwide. This is subject to the availability of funds in your Card Account. *Fees and charges
will be imposed accordingly.

To avoid any inconvenience, please ensure that you have sufficient funds in your Card Account
before usage. For security reasons, it is advisable that you notify us on your travelling plans
in advance by calling us or email to us at info@finexuscards.com.

Last updated: 25 October 2016

Are there any special types of transactions I should know about before I
shop?
Yes, there are. There some types of transaction whereby the merchant will ‘hold’ your funds
for a short period of time, like a refundable deposit. Therefore, the withheld amount will not
be available until the merchant ‘releases’ it. Please be mindful of the following types of
transactions and also ensure you have sufficient funds in your Card Account:

Petrol Stations – in Malaysia, when you pay at the self-service kiosk, the merchant will
‘embargo’ RM200 in your Card Account, even though you didn’t pump petrol of that value.
The unutilised funds will be released within 72 hours back into your Card Account. To avoid
this, best to proceed to the cashier counter and pay the exact amount with the Card.

Hotels – some hotels will ask for a ‘deposit’ upon your check-in with a payment card. Do ask
them how much they plan to take as a ‘deposit’. This amount will be put on “hold” in your
Card Account. The merchant will ‘release’ the funds after you check out, but sometimes it
may take a few days.

Recurring Payment – if you sign up for this, please ensure you have sufficient funds in your
Card Account before its due date.

For cash withdrawal, the daily limit is RM2,999.00, subject to the ATM's notes disbursement
capabilities.

Otherwise, you can spend the amount that is preloaded in your Card Account. However, your
maximum Card Account limit at any one time is RM10,000.00.

However, if you intend to make a large purchase with the Card, it is strongly recommended
to call/email us prior to making the purchase to avoid any inconveniences.

What happens if I have insufficient funds for my current payment?

The current payment request will be declined.

How do I prevent my Card from unauthorised usage?

Protect your Card as if it is your CASH! It is very important to keep your card, card number,
PIN or password from being misused or being used to commit fraud. These are some
precautions:
 You must change or select your preferred PIN before using your card. Ensure your PIN is
not easy to guess by avoiding numbers that can be associated with you such as:
o Birth dates, months or years in any form or combination;
o Sequential number (as such 456789) and easily identifiable number combinations
(as such 111111);
o Other easily accessible personal numbers such as telephone numbers, driving
license, identity card number or other personal data.

The sending of an OTP is an online authentication service provided by us to give you added
security feature and peace of mind when conducting internet purchases at the 3D secured
participating merchants’ website using your Card.

What is 3D secured?
3D secured is a service facilitated by VISA that lets you transact online securely using your
Card. This service is available only at 3D secured merchant sites. It provides a standard and
secure method of performing transactions over the internet by authenticating all parties
involved, meaning the 3D secured participating merchants, Verified by Visa (VbV) and us.

What is the Verified by Visa service (also known as 3D secured service)?

Verified by Visa (VbV) is a service that provides a way to protect your Card usage on the
internet. VbV introduces an OTP protection during an internet purchase to authenticate the
customer. The requirement of your OTP prevents unauthorised usage of your Card on the
internet, giving you more confidence about making secured purchases online. The goal of VbV
is to create the same trust and confidence amongst merchants and customers that exist in a
face-to-face shopping environment.

Our Card supports Verified by Visa (VbV) service.

There are no charges imposed for this service.

How do I register my mobile phone number to receive OTP?

data to be registered during this process. This registered mobile phone number is defaulted
to enable us to send the OTP-SMS accordingly.

How do I request for an OTP?

your registered mobile phone number automatically during your check-out process. You will
be asked to enter the OTP at our authentication page. Then, click “OK” to complete the
authentication process.

If I did not receive my OTP within 1 minute, what should I do?

If you did not receive your OTP within 1 minute, you can request again for another OTP by
clicking on the “Resend One-Time PIN” button. However, you can only request for a maximum
of 3 times for each transaction. To continue, please click on the “Cancel” button to close the
window and start with a new online transaction.

What happens if I have entered an invalid OTP up to 3 times?

A web message will pop up to inform that your Card is blocked from making further online
transaction due to maximum number of failed attempts. Please contact us to unblock this
service.

Would I be able to know whether my mobile phone number has been

updated correctly?
Your registered mobile phone number will be displayed on our authentication page as “A One-
Time PIN has been sent to your mobile number 6012-****888….” If the mobile number
displayed on the screen differs, please contact us to update your mobile phone number.

Would I be able to continue shopping online after my mobile phone number

has been updated successfully?
Yes. Once your mobile phone number is successfully updated, an OTP will be automatically
sent to your new mobile phone number when you make your online purchases.

card in front of a secured reader at the sales counter, and you’re on your way. The card has
an embedded chip, which contains a tiny antenna that securely transmits payment
instructions to and from a secured reader.

How to identify a Visa payWave Card?

The Card enabled with this contactless payment technology features a distinctive contactless
symbol on the card face. The contactless symbols are represented with either one of the
following icons:

or

What are the benefits?

Using a Visa payWave-enabled card is a quicker and more convenient way to make purchases.
You don’t have to sign a receipt or enter a PIN, just wave-and-go. Visa payWave saves time
on both sides of the counter – shorter transaction times mean you spend less time in queues.
There’s no more fumbling for cash, counting change or worrying if you have enough cash for
the purchase. It’s also a more secure way of paying because the card doesn’t leave your hand
at checkout counter.

How do I use my Visa payWave enabled card?

Look out for a Visa payWave reader displaying the contactless symbol and the VISA logo at
the point of sale. Once the cashier enters the purchase amount into the terminal, hold your
card within 4cm of the secure contactless reader. Your transaction is confirmed when the
green indicator lights up and you see a display message confirming that your transaction has
been successful.

How close does the card need to be near the reader?

You should hold your Visa payWave-enabled card within 4cm of the card reader.

Is there a limit on the value of goods you can purchase with Visa payWave
technology?
In Malaysia, you can use your Visa payWave-enabled card for purchases of up to RM150 per
transaction. No signature or PIN is required. This RM150 limit however is subject to change.

What happens if I try to purchase goods over the limit?

For purchases exceeding this amount, the retailer will process the transaction the usual way
by dipping the card into an EMV-chip card payment terminal. You will have to then sign for
this purchase or enter a PIN.

Can I get a receipt after I make the payment?

Visa payWave is designed to let you make a paperless wave-and-go payment, but you can
request for a receipt if one is required.

Is there any chance that a payment amount may be deducted twice from my
account?
No. Visa payWave terminals are designed to accept only one transaction per card at a time.
As a safeguard, each transaction must be either complete or void before another one can take
place.

Can I unknowingly make a purchase if I walk past the reader?

No. Visa payWave is designed to ensure that the cardholder is always in control. The retailer
must first have entered the purchase amount for approval and your card has to be held in
very close proximity to the card reader (within 4 cm) in order for a transaction to take place.
Terminals can also only process one payment transaction at a time.

Is this technology secure?

The Visa payWave platform is based on secure EMV chip technology, which provides both
data protection and transaction security via the use of keys and the latest encryption
technology. Visa payWave transactions are processed through the same, reliable payment
network as EMV chip and magnetic strip transactions.

Where can I make payWave payments?

You can make a Visa payWave transaction at retailers across the world. Look for the
contactless symbol and the VISA logo on card readers at the checkout counter.

PIN AND PAY TRANSACTION

What is a PIN?
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a secret code selected by you to prove ownership
of your card. PINs for Malaysian-Issued cards consist of six (6) digits.

What is a Chip and PIN Transaction?

Your Card is embedded with an EMV Chip and requires you entering a PIN to complete the
purchase. This is aimed at preventing fraud and unauthorised usage if your card is lost or
stolen. You are required to enter your 6-digit PIN to authorise payments at point-of-sales
terminals instead of signing the sales receipt. This is why you must always keep your PIN
secret. These features are mandated by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Why do I need a PIN?

You need a PIN for cash withdrawal at any Visa or PLUS enabled ATMs worldwide and to
complete a purchase at a point-of-sales terminal at the request of the merchant. The same
PIN can be used for both cash withdrawals at ATMs and payments at point-of-sales terminals.

What are the benefits of a PIN?

With PIN-enabled technology, comes a new level of security and convenience. The benefits
include:

 Tighter security as only you know your PIN to approve transactions using your card;
 Faster transaction as you do not need to sign the transaction slip;
 You have better control as you can choose/change your PIN at anytime, anywhere as long
as you have internet access;
 You are protected from any fraudulent transaction should you lose your card or if your
card is stolen.

Can I change my PIN?

Yes, you can. Please login to your Online Portal account and click on the ‘Request PIN/Change
PIN’ tab.

Ensure your PIN is not easy to guess by avoiding numbers that can be associated with you
such as:
 Birth dates, months or years in any form or combination;
 Sequential number (as such 456789) and easily identifiable number combinations (as such
111111);
 Other easily accessible personal numbers such as telephone numbers, driving license,
identity card number or other personal data.

How will I know when to use my PIN or my signature?

The merchant’s sales assistant will prompt you to enter your PIN, if need be. Remember to
NEVER to reveal your PIN to anybody regardless of who they may be.

What happens if I use my new PIN Card at a terminal not supporting PIN?
In this case, the terminal will process your new PIN Card without prompting for PIN and your
signature will be needed for verification.

Do I need to use my PIN for online purchases, telephone and/or mail orders?
No. As you do not currently confirm these purchases with a signature, you do not need to use
your PIN as confirmation.

What happens if I enter the wrong PIN?

You will have three (3) consecutive attempts to enter the PIN correctly. Upon failing all
attempts, your card will be blocked. Please call us to unblock the Card.

What should I do if I forget my PIN?

Please login to your online portal account and click on the ‘Request PIN/Change PIN’ tab.

Do I need to enter my PIN for Visa payWave (contactless) transactions?

No, you need not. If your contactless card has a PIN, the terminal will prompt for PIN after
your card is tapped on the contactless reader for transaction amounts above RM150.00.
However, low-value contactless transactions do not require PIN or signature.
