About OCBC OneToken
-
What is OCBC OneToken?
OCBC OneToken is a digital token (also known as a software token) that can be used to authenticate and authorise transactions made via the OCBC app or OCBC Internet Banking (e.g. logging in, change in personal details, funds transfers, payments), and online card payments. It is securely integrated into the OCBC app on your mobile device.
Authorisation using OCBC OneToken is the second step required in a 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) process – the first being the entering of an OCBC Internet Banking Access Code and PIN. By protecting your internet banking accounts from unauthorised access, OCBC OneToken enhances the security of your internet banking activities. You can use it in place of hardware tokens and SMS OTPs.
-
What transactions can be authorised using OCBC OneToken?
- Requests (e.g. logging in to OCBC Internet Banking, adding new payees, changing personal details).
- Funds transfers and payments made via the OCBC app and OCBC Internet Banking
- Card payments made on certain merchant e-commerce websites and apps.
-
Do transactions need to be authorised after I activate OCBC OneToken?
Yes. If you are making a transaction via the OCBC app, OCBC OneToken authorisation will take place seamlessly in the background – even if the transaction is a high-risk one.
If you are making a transaction via OCBC Internet Banking, you can authorise it with a tap on your mobile phone.
-
Can I still use the a hardware token or SMS OTPs to authorise transactions after I have activated the OCBC OneToken?
You may still do so, depending on the type of transaction you make.
- Transactions made via the OCBC app or OCBC Internet Banking
No. Once you have activated your OCBC OneToken on your mobile device, you will not be able to use your hardware token or SMS OTPs to authorise such transactions. - Transactions made via Phone Banking or SMS Banking
SMS OTPs may still be used to authorise such transactions. - Online card transactions
SMS OTPs may still be required by some online merchants.
If you are an iOCBC user, you can continue to use your hardware token to access your iOCBC account.
- Transactions made via the OCBC app or OCBC Internet Banking
-
Why should I adopt OCBC OneToken?
- Seamless banking experience anytime, anywhere: You will never have to carry a hardware token around or worry about misplacing it. Just use your mobile device to authorise the transactions you make.

-
What happens if I fail Singpass Face Verification multiple times?
If you are unable to successfully complete the facial verification after 5 attempts, you will need to wait for a short period before trying again.
-
What if my facial features change due to personal reasons or unforeseen circumstances (e.g. cosmetic surgery, accident, etc.)?
Individuals who no longer resemble their NRIC or passport photograph can apply for a replacement of their NRIC or passport with ICA. This ensures that the Government’s biometric database of facial images remains up to date.
-
Why is my Singpass Face Verification unsuccessful?
There may be several possible reasons for this. For ways to improve the success of Singpass Face Verification, you should ensure that:
- Your face is not covered;
- You keep still while scanning is in progress;
- There is no strong lighting in the background;
- Your environment is not too dark;
- You use a minimum resolution of 2 megapixels for the camera; and
- Your NRIC/passport photo image is up to date.
-
Why am I prompted to use Singpass Face Verification when I set up my digital token for some banks but not others?
For banks enrolled in the use of Singpass Face Verification, you may be required to use it for higher risk or unusual scenarios as an additional means to guard against unauthorised set up of your digital token.
-
Does Singpass collect biometric data during the use of Singpass Face Verification?
Banks do not collect or store the biometric data during the use of Singpass Face Verification.
Your facial data is collected by Singpass and used for purposes such as authenticating your identity and improving Singpass Face Verification.Unless prohibited by law, facial data may be:
