What is a daily transaction limit?

A daily transaction limit refers to the total amount that you can pay or transfer in a day. It gives you greater control over how much money moves out of your bank account(s).

How it works

You can set daily transaction limits for local and overseas funds transfers and transactions via PayNow, FAST, Pay Any Card, debit cards, eNETS, NETS QR and MEPS.

Just log in to OCBC Internet Banking or the OCBC Digital app to do so.

Once a limit has been set, the sum of transactions made in a day cannot exceed the limit.
