3HC. Terms and conditions for MB Transactions via QR Service
Introduction
3HC.1 These terms and conditions ("QR Terms") apply to and regulate the Customer’s use of the "QR Service", a part of the Bank’s MB Transaction Service, which allows the Customer to send or request payments through the OCBC Mobile Banking application via the use of a QR Code for the purpose of identifying the intended Recipient of the funds.
3HC.2 QR Transactions are part of MB Transactions and the Payer Terms and Recipient Terms would apply in respect of all QR Transactions (e.g. notifications in relation to QR Transactions will be dealt with in accordance with the terms set out therein).
3HC.3 The Customer may request (each such request a “QR Transaction Request”) for the following types of transactions ("QR Transactions") to be carried out via the QR Service:
- payments via the QR Code displayed at the premise of and/or provided by merchants ("Non-PayNow QR Transactions"); and
- payments via PayNow where the Recipient is identified through a QR Code ("PayNow QR Transactions"). The Customer may either:
- request (as "Payor") to initiate a PayNow QR and other Barcode Transaction via the OCBC Mobile Banking application, by scanning or uploading the QR and other Barcode of a Payee who has registered their mobile number, their UEN (plus the suffix combination where applicable) or their VPA, as the case may be, as a proxy under PayNow, using the QR and other Barcode Service. For the avoidance of doubt, “UEN” refers to the Unique Entity Number which serves as a standard identification number for an entity and which is issued by the applicable Unique Entity Number issuance agencies and “VPA” refers to the PayNow proxy called “virtual payment address” which allows individuals or entities to link their mobile number to an e-wallet offered by a non-bank financial institution; or
- as a real customer of the Bank, request (as "Payee") the Bank to generate via the Application, a personalised QR Code for the Customer in order to request and receive funds transfers from third party Payors without revealing the Customer’s account number, mobile number or other personal details.
3HC.4 The Customer agrees to comply with all guidelines, policies and procedures pertaining to use of the QR Service issued by or on behalf of the Bank from time to time. For a QR Transaction to be conducted, the Customer will need to:
- have registered the Customer’s Registered Mobile Device for the relevant fingerprint recognition feature or, as the case may be, face recognition feature through the OCBC Mobile Banking application in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Bank’s latest instructions, procedures and directions;
- accept and agree to these Terms and Conditions; and
- where the relevant QR and other Barcode Transaction is a PayNow QR and other Barcode Transaction, additionally accept and agree to the Terms and Conditions for the OCBC PayNow Service.
provided that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions will be applied in the following order of precedence with the provisions higher in the order of precedence prevailing over the provisions in the lower order of precedence, to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency:
- Terms and Conditions for the OCBC PayNow Service;
- these QR Terms; and
- the rest of these Terms and Conditions.
Non-PayNow QR Transactions
3HC.5 The Customer agrees and acknowledges that Non-PayNow QR Transactions are carried out via services offered by third party providers (such services, “Third Party QR Services”, and such providers, “Third Party Providers”) and/or their respective affiliated operators (“Third Party Provider-Affiliated Operators”), and that the Bank does not own, operate or manage such services. The Third Party QR Services are provided solely by the relevant Third Party Providers and/or Third Party Provider-Affiliated Operators in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions as may be imposed by them from time to time and involves payments to participating merchants of such Third Party QR Services or Third Party Providers (each, a “Participating Merchant”). The Customer may address any concerns or complaints relating to the Third Party QR Services (including any concerns or complaints in connection with any issues or errors in payment or recovery of funds) to the Bank, who may in its sole discretion assist the Customer with liaising with the relevant Third Party Provider and/or Third Party Provider-Affiliated Operator on the Customer’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer acknowledges that the Customer shall not in any event have any right or claim against the Bank in connection with the Third Party QR Services.
A non-exhaustive list of Third Party Providers and Third Party Provider-Affiliated Operators is as follows:
- NETS
- AliPay+
3HC.6 In relation to each QR Transaction Request, the Customer agrees and acknowledges that although the Participating Merchant is shown (via a display on the OCBC Mobile Banking application) as the Recipient of the Transfer Amount, the Bank shall only be responsible for making the relevant payments to the relevant Third Party Provider and shall not be liable for transferring any Transfer Amount to any Participating Merchant and the relevant Third Party Provider shall be solely responsible for transferring the relevant Transfer Amount to the relevant Participating Merchant.
3HC.7 The Bank may prescribe a minimum amount and a maximum amount for each QR Transaction Request, and such amounts shall be displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application before the Customer submits a QR Transaction Request. The Bank reserves the right to reject or refuse to accept or process or to cancel any QR Transaction Request where the Transfer Amount falls below such minimum amount or falls above such maximum amount.
3HC.8 If the Customer wishes to initiate a Non-PayNow QR Transaction in respect of a Participating Merchant located in Singapore, the Customer may do so by initiating a QR Transaction Request through the OCBC Mobile Banking application by using the Customer’s Registered Mobile Device to scan the QR Code displayed at the premise of and/or provided by the relevant Participating Merchant and then authorising such QR Transaction Request by: (i) entering the Customer’s Access Credentials in accordance with the instructions displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application; or (ii) performing Transaction Signing in accordance with the instructions displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application.
3HC.9 If the Customer’s Access Credentials are successfully verified and the QR Code scanned corresponds to the QR Code generated by the relevant Third Party Provider (or Third Party Provider-Affiliated Operator, as the case may be) for such Participating Merchant, the Customer will be shown (via a display on the OCBC Mobile Banking application) the name of the merchant and details of the Customer’s OCBC account(s) from which the Customer may make the Non-PayNow QR Transaction. In order to submit the QR Transaction Request, the Customer will be required to select an eligible OCBC account from which the Customer wishes to make the Non-PayNow QR Transaction and to follow any further steps prescribed by the OCBC Mobile Banking application. Before submitting a QR Transaction Request, the Customer is responsible for checking the name of the merchant displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application and for ensuring that the relevant merchant is the intended Recipient of the funds.
PayNow QR and other Barcode Transactions
For Payor
3HC.10 PayNow QR and other Barcode Transactions only allow payments to be made to Payees with Registered Mobile Devices who have already registered their mobile number, their UEN (plus the suffix combination where applicable) or their VPA, as the case may be, as a proxy under PayNow.
3HC.11 If the Payor wishes to initiate a PayNow QR Transaction to pay a Payee, the Payor may do so by initiating a Transaction Request through the OCBC Mobile Banking application using the Payor’s Registered Mobile Device to scan the personalised QR Code shared with the Payor by the intended Payee physically or via email, SMS, phone-based messaging service or any other means as may be prescribed by the Bank from time to time, and then authorising such QR Transaction Request by: (i) entering the Payor’s Access Credential; or (ii) performing Transaction Signing, in accordance with the instructions displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application.
3HC.12 If the Payor’s Access Credentials are successfully verified and the QR code scanned corresponds to the QR Code generated by the Bank for such Payee, the Payee will be shown (via display on the relevant screen):
- the name of the Registered PayNow User such as the applicable registered entity name ("Name"), or a nickname corresponding to the QR Code registered by the relevant Payee (for the purposes of receiving payments via PayNow) ("Nickname"), as the case may be; and

Third Party Partnerships
3I.3 The OCBC Internet Banking Platforms may allow the Customer to browse and place Orders for products and services from the Operators and/or other Merchants, either directly through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, or through the Operators' platforms which are accessible via the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms. The Bank does not own, sell or resell any products and services of such Operators and/or Merchants and does not control the Operators, Merchants or any products and services offered or provided by them. For avoidance of doubt, any Orders placed directly through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms will be provided, processed and handled by the relevant Operator and/or Merchant, and not the Bank.
3I.4 The Customer acknowledges and accepts that all Third Party Services offered for browsing and placement of Orders on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, or on an Operator’s platform (which may be accessible through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms) are sold and/or provided by the relevant Operator or Merchant as indicated on the specific listing on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or Operator’s platform as the merchant on record, and not the Bank. The Customer understands that any Order that the Customer places shall be subject to the product and/or service availability/serviceability of the relevant Operator or Merchant, as well as any additional terms and conditions (including but not limited to any terms or policies relating to or governing refunds, returns, cancellations or exchanges) provided by the Bank, Operators or Merchants.
3I.5 The Bank neither endorses nor assumes any responsibility or liability arising in connection with any Order or the products and services in respect of which an Order is carried out or any Third Party Services. Transfer of risk and property in purchased products, delivery, product warranties (including the conditions and remedies for such warranties), support, refunds, returns, replacements, exchanges and any other ancillary products or services in relation to such products and services shall be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the relevant Operator and/or the relevant Merchant, which may be indicated on the specific listing or elsewhere on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms.
3I.6 The Customer may place an Order in accordance with the instructions as prescribed on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or on the relevant Operator’s platform from time to time. Orders placed in any other manner on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) will not be eligible for acceptance. Upon placing an Order, the Customer’s Order will be processed but only deemed to be accepted upon the relevant Operator’s or Merchant's confirmation (which shall be communicated to the Customer via such channels or mediums as the relevant Operator may determine).
3I.7 The Customer acknowledges that the Customer shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Order and that each Order shall be deemed to be irrevocable and non-cancellable upon transmission through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall be entitled to process such Order(s) without any further reference or notice to the Customer.
3I.8 All Orders (regardless of whether such Orders are made on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms directly or through an Operator’s platform) shall be subject to the relevant Operator's processing and/or the relevant Operator's or Merchant's acceptance at their sole discretion and each accepted Order shall constitute an agreement entered into directly and only between the Customer and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant ("Customer Contract"). The Customer acknowledges that unless the Customer receives the relevant Operator's and/or Merchant's confirmation (which shall be communicated to the Customer via such channels or mediums as such Operator and/or Merchant may determine) accepting the Customer’s Order, the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be party to any legally binding agreements or promises made between such Operator and/or Merchant and the Customer for the sale or other dealings with the relevant products and/or services and accordingly the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be liable for any Losses which may be incurred as a result. For the avoidance of doubt, such Operator and/or Merchant each reserve the right to decline to process or accept any Order received from or through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) in their absolute discretion.
3I.9 Additionally, the Bank reserves the right to not process any payment transaction via the OCBC Mobile Banking Transaction Service if: (i) such transaction does not comply with the requirements or terms and conditions applicable to the use of the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, including these Third Party Services Terms, or is otherwise not in the mode or manner required by the Bank; (ii) the Bank is prohibited from processing such transaction by reason of any applicable laws or legal requirements; or (iii) for such other reason as the Bank may deem appropriate at its sole discretion.
3I.10 The Bank may from time to time, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to the Customer, change and/or amend any of the following:
- the list of Operators and/or Merchants; and
- any specific terms and conditions for any transaction and/or Order, and shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by the Customer due to such change and/or amendment (including but not limited to any unavailability of the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or any Operator’s platform due to transition arrangements).
3I.11 The Customer agrees that each of the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall have the right to terminate a Customer Contract with immediate effect in the event that the relevant product and/or service has been mispriced on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or the Operator’s platform, or for any other reason as may be determined by the relevant Operator or Merchant in their absolute discretion. In the case of a Customer Contract for the sale of products, the relevant Operator or Merchant shall have such right to terminate the relevant Customer Contract whether or not the relevant product has been dispatched or are in transit and whether payment has been charged to the Customer.
3I.12 The Customer acknowledges and warrants that the Customer has not relied on any term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation made by or on behalf of any Operator or Merchant which has not been stated expressly in a Customer Contract or upon any descriptions or illustrations or specifications contained in any document including any catalogues or publicity material produced by the Bank, and/or any Operator or Merchant. The Customer also acknowledges and agrees that the exclusion of warranties, exclusion of liability and exclusion of remedies in these Third Party Services Terms and Customer Contracts allocate risks between the parties and permit the Operators or Merchants to provide their products and/or services at lower fees or prices than such Operators or Merchants otherwise could and the Customer agrees that such exclusions of liability are reasonable.
3I.13 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3I.12:
- as the third-party platforms as well as the products and/or services are operated and/or provided by Operators and Merchants, and not the Bank (notwithstanding that they may incorporate any marks and logos of the Bank), the Bank gives no warranty as to the quality, merchantability, state, condition or fitness of the third-party platforms, products and/or services offered, provided or made available on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms;
- no condition is made or to be implied nor is any warranty given or to be implied as to the products and/or services provided as well as the life or wear of any products and/or services supplied or that they will be suitable for any particular purpose or use under any specific conditions, notwithstanding that such purpose or conditions may be known to the relevant Operator and/or Merchant; and
- the Bank shall be under no liability for the following measures and actions taken by the Customer or third parties and the consequences thereof: improper remedy of defects, alteration of the relevant products and/or services without the prior agreement of the Bank, addition and insertion of parts, in particular of spare parts which do not come from the Bank.
Food and beverages
3I.14 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
- Minimum Order Value - Some of the campaigns require a minimum order value ("MOV") before an Order can be placed and delivered to the Customer. Where an applicable Order fails to meet the MOV, the Customer will have the option of paying to add more items to the Customer’s Order to meet MOV; and
- Special Instructions – the Operators and/or Merchants shall reasonably endeavour but shall not be obligated to comply with the Customer’s special instructions for an Order and/or Customer Contract. There shall be no replacement or refund for an Order and/or Customer Contract which does not conform to special instructions provided by the Customer.
- Alcohol - Persons placing an order for alcohol from any Operator or Merchant must be at least eighteen (18) years old. Alcoholic beverages can only be sold and delivered to persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old. By placing an order that includes alcohol, the Customer confirms that the Customer is at least eighteen (18) years old. Operators and/or Merchants will have the right to refuse to deliver or provide any alcoholic product to any person who at the time of delivery or collection of takeaway, (i) does not appear to be at least eighteen (18) years old or (ii) cannot prove that he/she is at least eighteen (18) years old or (iii) is, or appears to be, under the influence of either alcohol or drugs at the time of delivery or collection of takeaway and in such an event the Customer agrees that the Bank, and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be liable to make any refund to the Customer for the payment already made by the Customer.
3I.15 The Bank makes no representations to the Customer or other end-users / end-consumers as to the quality or nature or suitability of the food or beverages offered for sale through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or the Operators’ platforms accessible through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms. Information on the food and beverages offered or available is obtained from the Operators and/or the Merchants and as between the Customer and the Bank, the Operator's and/or the Merchant's food and/or beverages are "as offered" by the Operators and the Merchants. Descriptions or statements about food and/or beverages advertised via the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms are provided by the relevant Operator and Merchant and we do not verify these descriptions or statements and the Bank disclaims all warranties and representations in relation to any such Operators and Merchants and their food and/or beverages. The Bank does not endorse any Operators and Merchants or food and/or beverages featured on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms.
3I.16 In particular, neither the Bank nor the Operators and Merchants warrants or represents that any food or beverage items that are available for order on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or on any of the Operators’ platforms accessible through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms are free of any and all traces of any allergens or that consumption of a food or beverage item will not result in an allergic reaction. The Customer’s orders may be packaged with orders from other users at the time of collection/delivery, and such other orders may contain allergens. The Customer acknowledges that by placing Orders for food or beverage items, the Customer may be exposed to food or beverages that may cause an allergic reaction or injury, and in that regard the Customer on the Customer’s accord and on behalf of other end-users / end-consumers hereby fully release and discharge the Bank and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant from any and all liability and/or responsibility to the Customer or other end-users / end-consumers.
3I.17 The Customer agrees not to make any claim against the Bank in respect of any loss or damage (including with respect to personal injuries) which may arise from or in connection with the Operators' and Merchants' performance or non-performance of the Customer Contract or other sale contract, or which may arise from or in connection with the nature, quality or fitness for purpose of the products and/or services supplied by the Operators and Merchants (or due to any defect therein), or arising in any other way, and the Customer shall release and hold the Bank harmless against any such loss or damage. The Customer agrees to use/consume all products and/or services supplied by the Operators and Merchants in a proper manner. In particular, upon receipt/collection of food and/or beverage items, the Customer shall either consume them immediately or transport and store them appropriately (including keeping in storage at a proper temperature).
Fees and charges
3I.18 The Customer may make payment in respect of an Order by using any of the payment methods prescribed by the Merchant and/or an Operator from time to time (including without limitation, the OCBC Internet Banking Service) and in accordance with any additional terms as may be prescribed by the relevant Merchant and/or Operator from time to time. Payments may be made to and processed by relevant Operator’s and/or Merchant’s payment processor. The Customer acknowledges that the Operators are entitled to collect payments from the Customer on behalf of the Merchants, where applicable.
3I.19 The Customer is solely responsible for all amounts payable associated with purchases the Customer makes on any of the Operators’ platforms accessible via the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms. The Customer may not claim against Operator, Merchant or any of Merchant's agents, for any failure, disruption or error in connection with the Customer’s chosen payment method.
3I.20 Except as expressly set out under applicable refund policies as may be notified to the Customer by the Bank, and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant, all sales are final, and no returns, replacements or refunds are permitted. If a replacement, return or refund is granted for any transaction, the transaction may be reversed, and the Customer further agrees to bear all taxes and other duties payable thereon (including in the case of bank transfers).
