I Want to Speak to a Supervisor!A young man working for a Big Boss made an expensive mistake his first week on the job. At the end of the week the young man cleaned out his desk and packed up his things to leave.The big boss asked, ‘And just what do you think you are doing now?’‘I’m leaving,’ said the young man. ‘I made such an expensive mistake, surely you don’t want me to come back here again next week.’‘Are you kidding?’ exclaimed the Big Boss. ‘I just spent a small fortune educating you. You’d better come back next week and show me what you learned.’(Does this makes sense to you? If so, read on...)***Have you ever asked a frontline service provider for something special and been told, ‘Sorry, company policy. The a

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one US bank that can provide actual US bank account for Malaysians or any other US non-residents. It is actually an international bank and they are an international banking powerhouse. US HSBC.
True, opening a US bank account under US HSBC does require a lot of paperwork. Even though you can basically apply online but you would be required to make a few visits to your local and nearest HSBC banking branch. This is part of their international verification process.
With the recent unfortunate change in E*Trade Financial’s policy, I foresee that many Malaysians would go for US HSBC in the near future.I am sure that in time Malaysians would find more options in tackling their PayPal withdrawal difficulties. Malaysians are known to be resourceful and some folks might just have some new ideas anytime soon. I would be monitoring this issue very closely and those interested in following up with any new developments can do
Business Management – Removing the Blade from the StoneAs business managers we often feel as if we are asked to do impossible task. It really does not matter what industry or product you are trying to manage, obstacles are going to appear which seem insurmountable. Owners, bosses and fellow employees may seem like the enemy and not an ally in your goals. Everyone demands the impossible without regard to how it can be achieved. And this is how it should be!It makes no sense to approach life with an “I’ll take what comes my way” attitude, and this is true in business management as well. As a leader of an organization, big or small, large things must be asked from all involved. Many times we are going to ask people to accomplish something that may be impossible in their eyes.
PayPal is undoubtedly the world’s biggest online payment solution provider boasting well over 100 million account holders worldwide. Malaysians are no strangers to PayPal since they have been using them to make online purchases for years now. However, those that have their very own online businesses do have a little problem in using PayPal. Sending and receiving funds do not pose any problems to Malaysians but when it comes to making withdrawals, many Malaysian online entrepreneurs would face a brick wall.
Ever since the 9 11 tragedy, the US government has tighten their grip on security and that affects their economic practices as well. New Bills and Legislations were introduced thus making life for Malaysian online entrepreneurs a bit more difficult. PayPal for an example forced a mandatory ruling that every Malaysian PayPal account holders may only withdraw funds to their US bank accounts. This is practically impossible for most Malaysians then since we are halfway across the world! Malaysians that are visiting US and thinking of taking that opportunity to open their very own US bank accounts on the spot later received rude shocks upon discovering that every US banks have tighten their banking procedures and it is almost impossible to open any type of bank accounts if you are US non-residents.
Luckily, some Malaysians have found a few workarounds or solutions for this problem and it is my intention here to share them with everyone. Some of this workarounds or solutions are dubious; hence I would not discuss them here. Sadly, some ingenious Malaysians who are privy to such solutions took full advantage of it and use them for their own personal money making agenda. They come up with a few eBooks and sell them for a couple of bucks on their websites. One Malaysian even has the audacity to make his eBook as an affiliate program! Frankly speaking, such knowledge should never have been exploited for any monetary gains since it belongs to everyone.
Okay now, let us explore the possible solutions here in detail:
Using Accent Card Visa debit card
This is by far the most popular option used by many Malaysians right after 9 11.
New card applicant is required to deposit US$50.00 as application processing fee.
Due to their high imposing fees however, many Malaysians have abandoned this option.Using Virtual Money ATM Card
Also quite popular after 9 11.
It is actually a PIN based debit card.
The card can be purchased through any authorized Virtual Money Merchant. I can’t quite determine the actual amount of money that you have to pay to get the card. Some folks on eBay are selling them anywhere between US4.99 and US$29.99. A bit peculiar, I must say.
Their transaction fees and so forth are lower than Accent Card Visa debit card, thus many Malaysians opted for this option lately.
Unfortunately, some Malaysians have recently reported numerous problems with Virtual Money ATM Card. PayPal have been asking a lot of questions and many withdrawal requests have been cancelled.Using Online Trade & Brokerage facility
This is the new kid on the block and currently hot here in Malaysia.
The most popular right now is the one provided by E*Trade Financial.
It comes with a VISA Platinum ATM debit card.
I’m not going to elaborate much on the details since E*Trade Financial has introduced a new policy that totally bombed every Asian account holders. Their US Trade & Brokerage facility no longer accepts applications from Asians. New Asian applicants and most probably existing Asians with US accounts would be diverted or transferred to their Hong Kong facility instead.
This option was so popular recently but with this new twist, many Malaysians who are hoping of using this option to take care of their PayPal withdrawals would soon disperse and look for other alternatives.Using actual US bank accounts
Personally, I find this option as the best for Malaysians and their PayPal withdrawal dilemmas.
Surprisingly, not many Malaysians are fond of this option. Maybe it is due to their high processing and transaction fees or it could be due to the fact that the application process requires too much paperwork. Like it or not, this is the only current available option that is truly acceptable by PayPal.

Maybe it would be best if every Malaysians get together and sign some sort of a petition letter to request PayPal to consider allowing Malaysians to withdraw funds straight to our local bank accounts.
