OCBC Anti-Money Laundering / Countering the Financing of Terrorism & Sanctions Notice
As a global financial hub, Singapore is exposed to money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing (collectively, Financial Crime) risks. The potential social and economic damage brought by these illicit activities to Singapore and the international financial markets is immense and severe. This is because such activities may involve drug dealings, illegal arms dealings, extortion, kidnapping, corruption, tax evasion, unlicensed money lending, terrorism activities and other serious crimes. These will not only lead to an increase in crime, but also bring harm to legitimate businesses.
OCBC Group – i.e. OCBC Bank and its subsidiaries, branches in and outside Singapore – are committed to complying with the sanctions laws and regulations issued by the Singapore Government including the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union and the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, as well as the applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. OCBC Group does not establish business relationships or transact with sanctioned individuals, entities, sanctioned countries or territories (such as North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba and Crimea)[1], where such relationships or transactions are non-compliant with the above sanctions laws and regulations, or are against the OCBC Group’s internal AML/CFT and sanctions risk policies.
This means that we will proactively take measures to combat financial crime in order to safeguard the Group as well as our customers’ business reputation, assets and interests. Such measures may include:
- Monitoring and analysing your account activities;
- Contacting you for additional information as and when necessary, where such information is not available from our monitoring and analysis, to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies;
- Rejecting or blocking transactions that are not permitted by the applicable laws, regulations and policies; and
- Suspending or imposing any conditions on the access to or operations of your account or services provided to you, or restricting the channels available to access or operate your accounts.
We seek your cooperation and support should you receive such enquiries from us.
[1] This includes the use of OCBC’s internet and mobile banking services from the sanctioned countries or territories.

Revision to interest rates for the 360, Bonus+ Savings, Child Development, Global Savings, Premier Dividend+ Savings, Premier Global Savings, Private Global Savings, Plus! Savings and NTUC-OCBC Starter Accounts from 1 July 2020
Please also note updates to the Terms and Conditions Governing the OCBC 360 Account from 1 July 2020
Dear Customers
We are dedicated to providing value to customers who bank with us.
Unfortunately, interest rates have trended lower as central banks around the world ease monetary policy to support economic growth. The Federal Reserve, in particular, had cut US interest rates to close to zero in March to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will continue to monitor the interest rates situation and improve our product offering once it is viable to do so.
We thank you for your support and look forward to serving you through these exceptional times.
Please refer to the tables below for more information.

Update to Terms and conditions governing OCBC YES!, FRANK, and Premier World Elite Debit Cards Programmes
From 1 July 2020, the Terms and Conditions Governing OCBC YES! Debit Card Rebates Programme, Terms and Conditions Governing OCBC FRANK Debit Card Rebates Programme and Terms and Conditions Governing OCBC Premier World Elite Debit Card Rebates Programme will be revised. To better identify transport-related transactions, the terms and conditions have been amended to clarify that rebates for Transport Category will only be awarded for transactions coming in as MCC 4121 (Taxicabs and Limousines).
For example, payments for Grab rides charged to the card directly will be awarded the 1% rebate, while payments made to top up the GrabPay Wallet will not. For avoidance of doubt, the monthly minimum spend requirement of $400 to qualify for rebates will continue to apply.

Temporary disabling of the Easy Q service with immediate effect
In line with the Government’s move to encourage safe distancing, we have implemented precautionary measures in our branches, including temperature screening, health declaration and limiting the number of customers in the branch.
With the new measures in place, customers using the Easy Q service will not be able to directly access the branch anymore. Hence, we are temporarily disabling the Easy Q service with immediate effect. As we practise safe distancing during this period, we have a variety of digital solutions which allow you to bank on the go or from the comforts of your own home. You can pay bills, transfer funds and check account balance on the OCBC Mobile Banking app. To find out more, click here.
Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the inconvenience caused.

- Visitors to our offices will be required to declare their travel history.
- Hand sanitizers have been placed in offices and branches. Cleaning frequency in common areas such as branch lobbies, lifts, corridors and toilets have been increased.
- Face masks have been distributed to all frontline colleagues and non-frontline colleagues where necessary.
- Teams will be split to different locations.
- Colleagues who have returned from Mainland China on and from 14 January 2020 are required to stay at home for 14 calendar days. They are to seek medical attention promptly if feeling unwell.
We encourage customers or visitors who suspect they may have been exposed to the virus or who are feeling unwell to seek medical care promptly.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and act accordingly in the best interests of our customers and employees.
