3. How do I change my transaction e-Alerts threshold limits for ATM & Card transactions?

   You can change the default threshold limit to your preferred threshold limit:

   • Login to OCBC Internet Banking via your PC/desktop
   • Select “Customer service” in the top navigation bar
   • Select “Manage e-Alerts”
   • Select either ATM transactions or Card transactions
   • Click on “Set Threshold”
   • Select your preferred threshold amount

   We recommend that you either keep to the default threshold at S$1,000 (ATM transactions) / S$500 (Card transactions) or set a lower threshold limit for your transaction alerts to help you monitor and spot any unauthorised transactions on a timely manner. If you set it at a higher threshold than the default threshold, it will mean that you will not be notified of any transaction below the default threshold. This may have an impact on your liability for losses arising from unauthorised transactions above the default threshold.

   For more information on your liability for losses arising from unauthorised transactions, please refer to the FAQ on E-Payments User Protection Guidelines by ABS.

4. How do I change the notification channel for my transaction alerts?

   Transaction alerts are sent to you via SMS/Push Notifications/Email. You may wish to select your preferred channel of notification with the following steps:

   • Login to OCBC Internet Banking via your PC/desktop
   • Select “Customer service” in the top navigation bar
   • Select “Manage e-Alerts”
   • Select the transaction category you wish to change (e.g. "Online Banking Funds Transfer")
   • Select your preferred channel of notification (SMS/Push Notification/Email)
