  • Security tips on using ATMs

    Do's & Don't's on ATM Card PIN Managment

    • Do not choose a PIN that others can easily guess (e.g. birth date or telephone number).
    • Do not use sequential numbers (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6..)
    • Do memorise your PIN and do not write it down.
    • Do not share your PIN with another person because it is the same as giving that individual authority to use your name in a transaction.
    • Do not reveal your PIN to anyone. It should not be disclosed even if requested by an authorised OCBC Bank officer.
    • Do change your PIN frequently. 

    Security Tips When Performing Your ATM Transaction

    • Before you approach the ATM, look around and check out the area. If anything seems suspicious, go to a different machine or use it at another time.
    • Block the pin pad when you are entering your PIN.
    • When you have completed your transaction, put away your card, receipt and cash immediately. Look around again to check for anyone who looks suspicious.
