For overseas ATM cash withdrawals, the default alert threshold limit is S$1.00. You may choose to change the threshold to your preferred setting.

   For outgoing online banking fund transfers and payments, the default threshold limit for transaction alerts is S$0.01. This threshold limit cannot be adjusted.

2. What are the available threshold limits?

   For Card transactions	Set your preferred alert threshold limit
   Credit/Debit Card transactions (Local/overseas)	Any amount, S$1, S$100, S$300, S$500, S$1,000, S$3,000, S$5,000

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

   The default threshold limit for e-Alerts for your ATM, debit/credit card transactions is S$1,000.

   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 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 S$1,000, it will mean that you will not be notified of any transaction below S$1,000. This may have an impact on your liability for losses arising from unauthorised transactions above S$1,000.

   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.

   • Login to OCBC Internet Banking via your PC/desktop
   • Select “Customer service” in the top navigation bar
   • Select “Manage e-Alerts”
