Our guarantee

In the unlikely event that you do suffer from online fraud, we guarantee a full refund of any money that has been fraudulently transferred out of your account via our Internet and Mobile Banking service, subject to our Electronic Banking Terms & Conditions.

Our guarantee protects you if you have played your part in protecting yourself from fraud by adopting the following measures:

You have kept your hardware token secure at all times;
You have not shared your security details with anyone (these include your Access Code, PIN and security token);
You have equipped your computer or mobile device with the latest available operating system. You should not be accessing your online banking using jail-broken or �rooted� mobile devices;

You have updated us immediately when you change your mobile number for receiving One-time Password (OTP) via SMS; and
You inform us immediately if:

More about the new token

Secured, encrypted pages

You'll see a "closed lock" icon on our online banking pages, starting with the login screen. This means that from the moment information leaves your computer to the time it enters our system, it's encrypted using some of the strongest technologies available today.

Only our servers have the proper codes to turn your information back into data that will complete your transactions. This means that your information is nearly impossible for unwanted intruders to decipher.

Transaction password

When you do make transactions online using OCBC Online Banking, our system requires you to enter one time passwords from your personalised access token.
