OCBC Anti-Money Laundering / Countering the Financing of Terrorism & Sanction Notice
Dear Valued Corporate Customers,
As a global financial hub, Singapore is exposed to money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing (collectively, Financial Crime) risks. The potential social and economic damage brought by these illicit activities to Singapore and the international financial markets is immense and severe. This is because such activities may involve drug dealings, illegal arms dealings, extortion, kidnapping, corruption, tax evasion, unlicensed money lending, terrorism activities and other serious crimes. These will not only lead to an increase in crime, but also bring harm to legitimate businesses.
OCBC Group – i.e. OCBC Bank and its subsidiaries, branches in and outside Singapore – are committed to complying with the sanctions laws and regulations issued by the Singapore Government including the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the United Kingdom’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation of HM Treasury as well as the applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. OCBC Group does not establish business relationships or transact with sanctioned individuals, entities, sanctioned countries or territories (such as North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia)1 , where such relationships or transactions are non-compliant with the above sanctions laws and regulations, or are against the OCBC Group’s internal AML/CFT and sanctions risk policies.
This means that we will proactively take measures to combat financial crime in order to safeguard the Group as well as our customers’ business reputation, assets and interests. Such measures may include:
• Monitoring and analysing your account activities;
• Contacting you for additional information as and when necessary, where such information is not available from our monitoring and analysis, to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies;
• Rejecting or blocking transactions that are not permitted by the applicable laws, regulations and policies; and
• Suspending or imposing any conditions on the access or operations of your account or services provided to you, or restricting the channels available to access or operate your accounts
We seek your cooperation and support should you receive such enquiries from us.
Together, we can safeguard the health and integrity of our financial system and also protect your interests and assets.
Thank you for banking with us. We look forward to serving you again.
1This includes the use of OCBC’s electronic services (including electronic banking channels and/or platforms) from the sanctioned countries and territories.

Security Alert: New variant of Tinba Malware targeting Asia Pacific region (January 2016)
Dear customers,
We would like to bring your attention to recent reports of a new variant of Tinba financial malware
that is targeting the Asia Pacific region, with Singapore being one of the most frequently targeted
country.
Once the machine/device is infected, the malware may inject bogus webpages into the browser
that phish for banking credentials. With the stolen credentials, the fraudster then performs financial
transactions without the user knowing until it is too late.
We would like to remind you to stay vigilant, exercise caution and adopt good online banking
practices:
- Do not provide authorisation for transactions that you did not initiate or request
- Do not open suspicious attachments in emails received, even if they are from senders
you know. These attachments may appear in the form of invoices or other accounting documents.
How Tinba Works
1) Your machine/device can be infected by simply clicking on links provided in emails or visiting
infected websites.
2) Once infected, an unusual message (like the one shown below) may also be displayed on the
victim’s machine while fraudulent activity is carried out in the background:“We are working on updating the database, so that the service is temporarily
unavailable. We will try to resume the service as soon as possible. Please try again in a few hours.”
How to avoid becoming a victim- Ensure your machine/device’s operating system, Internet browsers1
and plugin/extensions are all up-to-date - Ensure your machine/device’s operating system is enabled to support Transport Layer
Security (TLS) 1.2 and above under ‘Internet Options’ > ‘Advanced’ tab > ‘Security’ - Be on the alert for any irregularities during your internet banking session (e.g. banking
website redirecting to third party website offering hotline number, altered login flow
and unsolicited requests for tokens) - Pay attention to the URL of a website. Be aware of malicious websites as they may look
identical to a legitimate site, but the URL is different (e.g., “.com” vs “.net”). A legitimate
OCBC website will end with “.com” instead of “.net”. Eg. Velocity@ocbc login page:
https://velocity.ocbc.com.
1 For Internet Explorer, you are advised to use IE11 as Microsoft is no longer providing security patches for IE10 and below. - Avoid surfing unfamiliar and unsecured websites. An example of an unsecured website URL
starts with “http” as opposed to a secured website URL starting with “https”. Eg.
Velocity@ocbc login page: https://velocity.ocbc.com. - We recommend that you install and maintain the latest anti-virus software (eg. McAfee,
Norton Anti-virus). Ideally, do also install and maintain anti-malware software (eg.
Malwarebytes), firewalls, and email filters. Run these applications on your devices regularly. - Use different passwords, especially for your Velocity@ocbc login and email account, along
with any other online accounts [eg. Subscription-based sites, online merchants, social media,
etc] - Make use of the anti-phishing features offered by your email client and web browser.
Information about known phishing attacks is also available online at
http://www.antiphishing.org. - Review your email accounts and make sure emails containing attachments that are
confidential in nature are deleted eg. copies of IDs, invoices, scanned forms with signatures,
etc. These documents can be saved or archived to your computer hard disk for safekeeping. - Do not reveal personal or financial information in email and do not respond to email
solicitations for these types of information. This includes clicking on links included in emails. - If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, verify it by contacting the company
directly. Do not use contact information provided on a website connected to the request;
instead, check previous statements for contact information. - Be alert and watch out for unsolicited phone calls, visits, or email messages from individuals
asking about employees or other information about your company. If an unknown individual
claims to be from a legitimate organisation, verify his or her identity directly with the
organisation. Do not provide any information unless you are certain that the person is
authorised to have the information.
If you suspect that your machine/device has been infected by malicious software while on your
internet banking site, please DO NOT proceed with your online banking activities and follow
the steps below:
1. Cancel any suspicious-looking transactions in Velocity@ocbc.
2. Close the browser.
3. Ensure that your anti-virus/anti-malware software is up to date.
4. Run your anti-virus/anti-malware software and scan the files on all devices (eg. laptops,
desktops) that you use to access online banking. If your computer is not installed with an antivirus software or anti-malware, please install the latest version immediately and perform a
scan on your devices.
5. Change your password for Velocity@ocbc on a different device/PC immediately.
6. After the infected computer has been scanned and clean, restart and login to Velocity@ocbc.
You should not encounter the same bogus site again upon login if the malicious software has
been completely removed.
7. If you suspect that the malicious software has not been successfully removed, please do not
use the same computer for any online banking transactions and seek professional help to
remove the malicious software. Remember to run an anti-virus/anti-malware scan on an
alternative computer to make sure it is uninfected before performing any online banking
transaction.
We would like to assure you that our internet banking websites remain secure. As
malicious software are constantly evolving, we strongly recommend that payment makers
and authorisers always stay vigilant and verify the authenticity of all outgoing payment
instructions, on top of scanning all devices regularly.
At OCBC Bank, protecting your information is our priority. For more about online security and how
to protect yourself from fraud, please visit: www.ocbc.com/business-banking/policies.html >

Security Advisory: Security Alert on Malware in Circulation
Dear customers,
We would like to bring to your attention that there have been recent reports of new malware attacks on internet banking websites. The malware is designed to steal customers’ login and authorisation information such as User Name, Password, Organisation ID and One-TimePassword or Security Code. It may also disable anti-virus protection and take over the control of your infected computer.
If your computer is infected by the malware, these are some possible ways the malware will attempt to steal your login and authorisation information:
- you may receive multiple prompts for login information even when your login information has been entered
- you may be asked to enter login information on only one page. Eg. the fraudulent screen will ask for your User Name, Password, Organisation ID and One-Time-Password or Security Code all on a single page to gain access to your information faster. The normal login process is done over two pages. The legitimate OCBC website asks only for your User Name, Password and Organisation ID on the first page and your Security Code on the second page.
- you may also be re-directed to a bogus site where your login information would be stolen
- you may be prompted to enter the One-Time-Password or Security Code from your hardware token even if you did not perform any online transactions from your account.
We would like to assure you that our internet banking websites remain secure. You are reminded to stay vigilant when banking online. The following are five tips that you can take note of to protect your computer from being infected with such malware:
- Install anti-virus software in your computer, ensure regular updates with the latest virus signatures and scan your computer regularly.
- Always type in the URL (https://bb.ocbc.com) manually and verify the internet banking website before providing your login information.
- Do not enter any Security Code for transactions that you did not initiate or request.
- Avoid visiting unknown and unsecured websites.
- Do not open unknown or suspicious attachments, even if they are from senders you know.
At OCBC Bank, protecting your information has always been our priority. To learn more about online security and tips on protecting yourself from fraud, please visit: http://www.ocbc.com/business-banking/security-privacy.html
The following is the legitimate Velocity@ocbc login page
Example of an image of a bogus site that you may be re-directed to if your computer is infected:
If you experience the above while on your internet banking site, please DO NOT proceed with your online banking activities and follow the steps below:
- Close the browser.
- Ensure that your anti-virus software is up to date.
- Run your anti-virus software and scan your entire computer’s files.
- If your computer is not installed with an anti-virus software, please install with an up to date version immediately and perform a scan on your computer.
- Perform an Operating System update, for:
- Windows – Launch Browser > Tools > Windows Update
- Macintosh – Click on Apple Icon (top left) > Software Update
- Restart your computer and login to Velocity@ocbc again. You should not encounter the same bogus site again if the malware is completely removed.
Change your password immediately in Velocity@ocbc before proceeding to perform your internet banking transactions. - If you suspect that the malware is not successfully removed, please refrain from using the same computer for any internet banking transactions. Login to Velocity@ocbc using another non-infected computer to change your password.
Note: Authorisers are advised to call the Bank to reset their password.
For clarification, please contact us at 6538 1111 (or +65 6538 1111 if calling from overseas).
