Credit Card and Debit Card activation
Your new or replacement card cannot be used by you or anyone else until you activate it. This helps to reduce the chances of unauthorised card usage.

Deactivation of magnetic stripe
To prevent fraudulent transactions from taking place, the magnetic stripe on all credit and debit cards are, by default, not activated for overseas usage. If you need to swipe your card (i.e. use the magnetic stripe) to pay a merchant or make a transaction at an ATM overseas, go to the OCBC Digital app, OCBC Internet Banking or www.ocbc.com/magstripe to activate it.
Regardless of whether you activate the magnetic stripe, you can always use your card(s) to make EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) chip transactions or contactless payments at overseas Point-of-Sale terminals or ATMs. The EMV chip cannot be disabled.
Double Swiping
All retail merchants in Singapore are required by the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) and the Card Schemes (i.e. American Express, Diners Club, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa) to stop capturing and storing sensitive payment card data (or cardholder data) encoded on the magnetic stripes of your credit, debit and charge cards that can happen by swiping your card more than once.
Email ABS at banks@abs.org.sg to report suspected merchants.
