CIMB offers Touch n Go Zing Card with multiple auto-reload options

Now CIMB Bank also offers the Touch 'n Go Zing Card after Maybank, Hong Leong Bank, EON Bank, Affin Bank, MBf Card and AEON Credit Service.


The CIMB Touch 'n Go Zing Card has the same fees and charges like those offerred by other banks:
  • Issuance of new card: RM10
  • Replacement card: RM10
  • Refund processing fees: RM5
On the other hand, it provides special multiple auto-reload options:
  • Reload RM100 with RM1.50 fee
  • Reload RM200 with RM2.00 fee
  • Reload RM300 with RM3.00 fee
Apparently, the reload fees are slightly cheaper than the Zing Card offered by other banks, especially when opting for RM300 reload, the fee is only RM1 per RM100 usage.
