What can I ask Siri to do?
You can ask Siri to help check on your bank account balance, credit card balance and make fund transfers to PayNow recipients. You will then be prompted to authenticate your identity using Touch/Face ID.
You may use the following commands:
- Bank balance
How much money do I have in my savings account? Check my bank balance. - Credit card balance
How much have I spent on my credit cards? Show me my credit card balance.<

Will Apple store any of my banking details?
No OCBC customer information will be shared with Apple. Siri merely extracts the relevant components from a query and forward it to OCBC bank apps. The bank apps then use various APIs to build a response to your request which is then displayed onscreen. To learn about Apple’s policy about Siri in 3rd party apps, go to Settings > Siri & Search and tap on ‘About Ask Siri & Privacy’.

I don’t want to use the feature anymore. How do I disable Siri?
