OCBC OVERSEAS FUNDS TRANSFER

There could be several reasons:

1. To receive funds from overseas sources, your payee must have taken certain steps required by his/her wallet provider. Examples include but are not limited to:

   • Accepting the Terms and Conditions related to receiving funds from overseas sources via the wallet app; and
   • Acknowledging the relationship between the sender and payee via the wallet app.

2. Incorrect recipient details:

   • The recipient’s name is spelled correctly.
   • The mobile number or account number is entered accurately.

There is no cut-off time for pay to wallet transactions

• No charges for transfers to wallets in China (Alipay, Weixin Pay), Malaysia (Touch ‘n Go), Vietnam (Momo), and the Philippines (Coins, GCash, PayMaya).
• For Indonesian wallets (GoPay, LinkAja and Ovo), these wallet operators may deduct a fee from the transaction amount before the funds are sent to the payee (recipient).

If your transaction involved currency conversion, the refund amount may differ due to exchange rate fluctuations:

• The conversion rate at the time of payment may differ from the rate at the time of refund.
• This can result in a higher or lower refund amount than the original payment.

Transfer times vary depending on:

• The destination country and wallet provider.
• Currency conversion requirements.
• Security checks.

Possible reasons include processing time:

• Transfers may take up to 2 working days due to security checks. As a regulated financial institution, we may conduct additional checks.

OCBC will send you either an email, SMS or a push notification (depending on the contact information and your notification preferences you have set with OCBC) to inform you that your transfer has been submitted.
