- Seamless banking experience anytime, anywhere: Never have to carry a hardware token around or worry about misplacing it. Use just your mobile device to authorise the transactions you make.
- Fuss-free activation: Activating OCBC OneToken only requires a few taps on the OCBC app. With it, you do not need to wait for a hardware token to be mailed to you to start authorising online transactions.
- Enhanced security: OCBC OneToken is securely integrated into your OCBC app. It is protected by your mobile device’s screen lock and the security measures that are built into the OCBC app.
- Planet-friendly choice: Do your part for the environment. Hardware tokens need to be replaced every few years as their batteries die or newer versions are released. By using a digital token, you will reduce e-waste and the carbon footprint involved in the manufacturing and shipping of hardware tokens.
