It did happen to me, but this time I got ideas to write, I got apps to introduce, but I don't have enough to write a quality post, therefore I prefer to write a compilation than write a crappy post.

List of Online Banks that Pay PBA

PBA is Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang. It is the company to supplies waters to residents of Penang state. Since it is dealing with just residents of Penang state, some Malaysian banks decided not to provide the bill payment through their online banking. Fortunately there are less a handful of Malaysian banks that provide the bill payment of PBA. Here is the list:

Bank/PBA link Method of payment accepted Note
PBA Website http://www.pba.com.my/payment/login.asp PFXOnly confirmed after 3 working days, therefore you should pay the bill at least 3 days before the due date.
PBA Prepaid PBA link as above
FPX; pay to PBA customer service centers
Good for people that are out of town for a long period.
Public Bank https://www2.pbebank.com/ Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
HSBC http://www.hsbc.com.my Deduct from saving accountConfirmed cannot pay using credit card (I confirmed it! see this post)
Maybank http://www.maybank2u.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
UOB https://payonline.uob.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
BSN http://www.mybsn.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
CIMB http://www.cimbclicks.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
Bank Rakyat https://www.irakyat.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card
AmBank https://ambank.amonline.com.my Deduct from saving accountNot sure if can pay using credit card


Standard Charted was in the list until it stopped the bill payment for PBA on 2011. It is too bad, because I have been enjoy 0.5% cash back by paying the PBA bill using Standard Charted Credit Card.

List of Mobile Apps of Banks in Malaysia

As I moved into Android world (since I got my SGS2, well, I have been playing with Android apps with Android emulators, Jar of Beans, pokki, and bluestacks), I found there are endless of Android apps. Number of free apps on iOS was king, but then was taken over by Android since 2011 or 2012, does not matter now.

Android apps (apk) was not being regulated like iOS, therefore we should always only install apps from Google Play and apps developer only.
