Login

Logging in as an authoriser

The authoriser user ID is found in the mailer which also indicates the "(A)" as a suffix to the name.

An authoriser is empowered to authorise banking transactions prepared by the creator in Velocity@ocbc. Each transaction must be fully authorised, either singly or jointly before it will be processed by the Bank.

For Basic Plus Service packages with transacting capability, the same user is both the creator and authoriser. Basic Plus users will be able to view the tabs found in both the creator and the authoriser accounts.

Upon login, the authoriser will be able to view the “Authorisation” tab.

Logging in as a creator

A creator is a person who prepares the banking transaction such as GIRO payment via Velocity@ocbc. The creator will then submit the prepared transaction to an authoriser for approval. They are not empowered to authorise transactions for processing.

For Basic Plus Service packages with transacting capability, the creator and authoriser is the same user. Basic Plus users will be able to view the tabs found in both the creator and the authoriser accounts.

a) A creator’s account does not have the “Authorisation” tab.

b) Click on “Cash”

c) Select “Payments SG”

d) Click on any payment mode, and you will see a “New” button

Logging in as an administrator

An administrator manages all users. Their role allows them reset forgotten passwords, create new / additional users, etc. For control reasons, any action initiated by one administrator in Velocity@ocbc must be approved by another administrator. Accordingly, at least 2 administrators are required to be appointed.

Note: Roles are not available for sign-ups on the Basic Service Package.

Upon login, the administrator will be able to view the “Admin” tab.

g) Go to “Access Profile” and assign the new user with a “Role” and click “Save”.

Manage recurring payments

If you are paying the same supplier or beneficiary regularly, with varying amounts each time, you may consider using “models”. “Models” will certainly save you time from having to enter the same information over and over again.

A “model” is a template where information such as payee name, account number, bank and branch codes can be entered and saved for repeated use. When you are ready to pay, pull out this “model” and provide just the payment amount and value date to create the new payment for this payee.

 

Creating “models”:

(Using GIRO Payment Model (template) as an example)

a) Creator to login and select “Cash” tab

b) Select “Payments SG”.

c) Select “GIRO Payment”.

d) Click “Models”.

e) Click “New Model”

f) Enter the payee payment details in the respective fields.

g) If you wish to prevent changes to any fields in the “Model”, you can set read-only fields.

h) Hold down the “Shift” key on the keyboard and click those you would like to set as read-only fields. They will be highlighted in grey.

i) Click “Save”.

j) You will be prompted to enter a “Model ID” and a “Model Name”. This will help to identify the “Model” when you use it for an  actual payment.

k) After saving the “Model”, you can continue to enter payment details for the second payee. Remember to click “Save” after completing each entry.

l) Notify the Authoriser to login to verify and authorise the created “Model”.

Note: The status of the “Model” you have just created will indicate “ENTERED”. This “Model” must be authorised by an Authoriser before it can be used as a template for future transactions.

 

Authorise “models”:

a) Authoriser to login and select “Cash” tab

b) Select “Payments SG”.

c) Select “GIRO Payment”.

d) Click “Models”.

e) Select the Model that you want to authorise. The model’s status should be “ENTERED” by default.

f) Select “Verify Model” once you have chosen the Model you want to authorise

g) Select “Authorise Model”.

h) A pop-up screen will appear. Your “model” has been successfully authorised.

i) Your “Model’s Status” should be changed to “AUTHORISED”.

 

Transact with a “model”:

a) Creator to login and select “Cash” tab

b) Select “Payments SG”.

c) Select “GIRO Payment”.

d) Click “Models”.

e) Click “New from Model”

f) Change the “Value Date” and key in the “Customer Reference Number”.

g) Select “Save”

h) A pop-up screen will appear. This “model” has been successful for this transaction.

i) Notify the authorisers to login to verify and authorise the transaction.
