THE ALL-IN-ONE STARTER KIT

All children can be savvy with the right gear.
Equip your child with everything they need to get started:

OCBC MyOwn Account

A savings account for your child allows them to practice managing money and learn through their simplified OCBC app - exclusively for OCBC MyOwn Account*.

*Your child's other accounts, like Mighty Savers and Child Development Account will not be shown or be available for transaction on your child's app.

OCBC MyOwn Debit Card

Give them a debit card just for children – there are over 15 designs to choose from and exclusive deals for grabs.

OCBC app

Our new and simplified OCBC app specially developed for your child makes it super easy for them to stay on top of their savings and spending. Plus, you can keep track of their transactions with your own OCBC app.

Why you should choose MyOwn, if you are

Why you should choose MyOwn, if you are

Get informed for every transaction

Keep tabs on your child’s spending with the OCBC app. Get real-time alerts so you know how, when and where your child is using his/her money. No surprises here!

You decide what limit to set

Set daily transaction limits so your child does not overspend – this could be your chance to teach him/her how to budget and spend wisely.

Act immediately for scam alerts

Just hit the OCBC Kill Switch to suspend the account in a snap. To keep your child’s money extra safe, use OCBC Money Lock to easily lock funds via the OCBC app. Use the OCBC MyOwn Debit Card at any OCBC ATM to release locked funds anytime.

Cash or Cashless? Why not both?

You get to decide. Allow your child to start familiarising themselves with digital payments in the real world by giving them occasional opportunities to do so, all under your watchful eye with transaction alerts.

Going full digital? You have the option to set a daily, weekly or monthly allowance that goes straight to your child’s account. Your child can top up his/her School Smart Card to use in schools that accept digital payments as well.

Get ready to take charge

Learn to take control of your money with your own bank account and debit card, even if you do not have a phone. Once your parents decide you are ready, team up with them to track your expenses via the OCBC app! Plus, level up your budgeting skills with OCBC Financial Literacy.

Make your card your own

Using a debit card has never looked this stylish – not with over 15 amazing designs to choose from. What’s more, get special deals at your favourite spots all year long!

Go cashless

Use the card to grab lunch with friends, stock up on school supplies and more. You even get to choose from over 15 fun card designs!

Save, deposit, repeat

Have pocket money you can save? Just pop your spare coins into our cash deposit machines – they are kind of like piggy banks, but way cooler – and watch your savings stack up.

Keep calm and stay safe

Your money will be in safe hands. The anti-scam features available on the OCBC app – OCBC Kill Switch and OCBC Money Lock – can help make your account extra secure, and they are right at your fingertips.

ONE CARD, OVER 15 DESIGNS

Let your child own his/her creativity with a debit card design that he/she loves.

What happens when the child turns 16 – what happens to the accounts/limits/debit card?

We will allow parents the flexibility to choose when to grant full control of the OCBC MyOwn Account to their child starting from when the child turns 16. This feature will be released by 30 June 2025. Eligible parents will be notified when this new feature is launched. When the child grows up, the OCBC MyOwn Account will eventually be transited to an adult account as well.

What can parents/children if they suspect that the account has been compromised?

Parents can choose to activate the OCBC Kill Switch via the OCBC app on the child’s behalf. To authorise this request, we will send an SMS OTP to the child’s number in our records.

Once activated, the OCBC Kill Switch will immediately suspend the child’s current and savings accounts (including joint accounts), OCBC app access and debit cards.

Children can also activate OCBC Kill Switch on their own via the OCBC app.

As a preemptive measure to protect the child’s funds, consider locking them using OCBC Money Lock. Locked funds cannot be transferred out.

What should I do if I lost my OCBC MyOwn Debit Card and/or require a card replacement?

Child can access the OCBC app > click on OCBC MyOwn Account > Lock card to temporary suspend further transactions on the card. If card is found, the child can repeat the steps to Unlock card and continue to make transactions.

Parent may contact us at 1800 363 3333 or visit any OCBC branch to request for a card replacement. You will receive it via mail within 5 working days.

I have applied for OCBC MyOwn Account. When and where can I redeem my pin?

You will receive an email within 20 working days upon successful application of OCBC MyOwn Account. In the email, a redemption code will be indicated and you can visit the vending machines at these OCBC branches to redeem your pin:
