Re: POSB ATM MACHINEIS LANGGAR TIANG DAH!

You are very smart, lobert.
OCBC and UOB bank ATM is usually shorter. A OCBC ATM card is sufficient. In
addition, payment for your OCBC credit card is a breeze if you pay by OCBC
ATM card. The moment you insert you OCBC ATM card and key in your pin
number you can easily access information to your credit outstanding payment.
Just select the credit card, you want to pay and the amount, you don't have
to key in the long string of credit card number.

However if you own a DBS credit card, you will have to key in every single
digit of your credit card number (you risk keying the wrong credit card
number) when you pay through POSB ATM card.
