About 2FA

 

What is 2FA

2FA refers to Two-factor Authentication, an enhanced process to secure your access and use of Velocity@ocbc.

Two-factor Authentication is a security process in which the user provides two means of identification. One is typically a physical token which generates a security code, for example, the Digipass. The other is typically something memorised ie. USER NAME, PASSWORD and ORGANISATION ID. In this context, the two factors involved are sometimes spoken of as “something you have” and “something you know”.

Used in combination, these two factors will provide greater peace of mind in performing banking transactions over the internet.

 

Why is OCBC Bank introducing 2FA?

OCBC Bank is committed to high levels of online banking security.

The introduction of the 2nd factor authentication during login process provides an additional layer of security to ensure that our customers’ banking information and transactions online are safe and secure.

We introduced 2FA in Velocity@ocbc since its inception in 2001 to Authorisers who had to authorise transactions online. This latest 2FA exercise is will extend to include all Users of Velocity@ocbc.

 

What are the benefits of 2FA ?

In light of increased Internet security threats like Phishing and the use of Spyware, employing 2FA will significantly mitigate the risk of someone, impersonating as yourself, gaining illegal access to your Internet banking account. By combining the use of "something you know" (your login credentials and password) and "something you have" (your personal Digipass) to access Velocity@ocbc, this works in combination to provide you with greater assurance and confidence when performing financial transactions over the Internet.

 

Why did OCBC Bank choose a hardware token?

The Digipass security device has been successfully adopted by Velocity@ocbc customers since its inception in 2001.  Hence, we would like to continue with a practice which our customers from the business community are already familiar and comfortable with.

 

Where can I get more information on 2FA?

Please visit www.ocbc.com for more information on 2FA.

For other Velocity@ocbc issues please contact us at (65) 6538 1111.

 

Is the new Digipass less secured because there is no PIN protecting access to the Digipass?

The new Digipass provides both security and convenience.

Access to Velocity@ocbc is further protected by the USER NAME, PASSWORD and ORGANISATION ID which is something known only to the User. This fulfils the 2FA security process where ‘something you have’ (hardware token) and ‘something you know’ (User Name, Password & Organisation ID) are both required in order to login to Velocity@ocbc.

For security reasons, Users are advised to keep their passwords confidential and to keep their Digipass with them at all times.

 

 

Who do I call if I have questions regarding 2FA?

Please contact us at (65) 6538 1111.

More about 2FA


Will I be issued a new Password, User Name and Organisation ID because of 2FA?

For customers who are already using Velocity@ocbc (prior Nov 2006), your existing Password, User Name and Organisation will remain unchanged. However, in order to access Velocity@ocbc, you will need to use the new Digipasses. The new Digipasses are included in the Starter Kit and will be sent to your company. You can use the Digipass to login to Velocity@ocbc from the 2FA Effective Date indicated in the letter with the Starter Kit.

 

When do I need to be 2FA compliant?

All Velocity@ocbc Users will be 2FA compliant by MAR 2007.

 

Who will be issued Digipass?

All Velocity@ocbc Users will be issued a Digipass.

 

I've just received the Velcoity@ocbc Starter Kit, how do I know which Digipass belongs to me?

The new Digipasses in the Velocity@ocbc Starter Kit are not pre-assigned. Each User can choose any one of the new Digipasses to complete a one-time registration and activation process upon first login. This can be done from the Effective Date indicated in the letter presented with the Starter Kit. Thereafter, the Digipass is unique to the User who registered and activated the Digipass.

Usage

 

I've just received the Velocity@ocbc Starter Kit, how do I know which Digipass belongs to me?

The new Digipasses in the Velocity@ocbc Starter Kit are not pre-assigned. Each User can choose any one of the new Digipasses to complete a one-time registration and activation process upon first login. This can be done from the Effective Date indicated in the letter presented with the Starter Kit. Thereafter, the Digipass is unique to the User who registered and activated the Digipass.

 

How do I use my Digipass?

First, you are required to register and activate the Digipass.
You can use the Digipass for login and transaction authorisation via Velocity@ocbc.

Please refer to the "Getting Started” guide for information on how to complete these processes.

 

How do I know if I have activated my Digipass successfully?

Please refer to the "Getting Started” guide for information on how to complete these processes.

 

When do I need to use the Digipass?

All Users are required to use the Digipass to login to Velocity@ocbc. For Authorisers within the company, they will also use the Digipass at the point of approving the transactions within Velocity@ocbc

 

Can I use the same Digipass for 2 different login IDs? Eg. Sharing among different Users?

No.
Once a User has completed the one-time registration to their Digipass, their User Name/ID will be registered to that Digipass making this Digipass unique to the User. The Digipass cannot be registered to another Velocity@Ocbc User. This protects and ensures the integrity of each User’s access to Velocity@ocbc

 

What happens if my colleague and I mixed up our Digipasses?

If the Digipass(es) has already been registered to their respective User, the correct device must be used for login, otherwise the login will fail.

Please contact us at (65) 6538 1111 for assistance.

 

Can I login to Velocity@ocbc if I do not have my Digipass with me?

No. All users are required to use the Digipass to login to Velocity@ocbc

 

What happens if I enter the incorrect Security Code?

If you enter an incorrect Security Code, you will be prompted to enter a new one. For security reasons, please note that your login will be disabled after 5 consecutive incorrect login entries.

 

I am a frequent traveller; can I use the Digipass to log on to Velocity@ocbc when I am overseas?

Yes you can. The Digipass has been designed to ensure that you will be able to use it anywhere with an Internet connection. We have also made sure that it is as light and portable, for your convenience to travel with it. We recommend that you keep the Digipass with items which you are unlikely to leave behind (such as keys to your house), to ensure that you have it with you at all times.
