    3HA. Terms and conditions for Payers

    Introduction

    3HA.1 These Payer Terms apply to and regulate the Payer’s use of the MB Transaction Service.

    3HA.2 The MB Transaction Service allows the Payer to request for the following types of MB Transactions to be carried out:

    1. transactions where the Recipient is identified through registered proxy in the PayNow register, whether or not the Payer registered under the OCBC PayNow Service (“PayNow Transactions”);
    2. transactions where the Recipient is identified through registered proxy under the relevant Overseas Payment Initiative (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfer via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service), whether or not the Payer is registered under the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfer via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service) (“Cross-Border PayNow Transactions”);
    3. transactions effected via the use of a unique two-dimensional barcode ("QR and other Barcode") ("QR and other Barcode Transactions");
    4. transactions initiated on an authorised third-party application ("Third-party App") where the Transfer Amount is to be transferred to the Third-party App provider for payment to the Recipient through such Third-party App ("Third-party App Transactions"); and
    5. such other means as prescribed by OCBC.


    3HA.3 These Payer Terms are in addition to and shall be read in conjunction with:

    1. PayNow Transactions: where the relevant MB Transaction is a PayNow Transaction, the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers through the PayNow Service, provided that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers via the PayNow Service shall prevail over these Payer Terms to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency;
    2. Cross-Border PayNow Transactions: where the relevant MB Transaction is a Cross-Border PayNow Transaction, the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service, provided that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service shall prevail over these Payer Terms to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency; and
    3. QR Transactions: where the relevant MB Transaction is a QR Transaction, the Terms and Conditions for MB Transactions via QR Service, as set out in Clause 3HC.

    3HA.4 The Payer must accept and agree to these Payer Terms, these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers via the OCBC PayNow Service and Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfers via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service before the Payer is able to use the MB Transaction Service. By accepting and agreeing to these Payer Terms, the Payer acknowledges and agrees that the Payer successfully opted-in for the MB Transaction Service and unless the Bank prescribes otherwise, will be able to perform certain ad-hoc transfers of funds without the need for any further security or authorisation step (including Transaction Signing) or to set up a pre-authorised account for such transfers. The Bank may still impose further security or authorisation steps (including Transaction Signing) for certain types of transfers of funds at its sole discretion (e.g. for certain transactions that the Bank deems are high risk transactions). To use the MB Transaction Service, the Payer will need to:

    1. be a retail customer of the Bank and be a valid user of the OCBC Internet Banking Service;
    2. have installed the OCBC Mobile Banking application, on the Payer’s Registered Mobile Device;
    3. have a valid and active Singapore dollar current or savings Account with the Bank; and

    Third-party App Transactions

    3HA.5 If the Payer wishes to initiate a Third-party App Transaction, the Payer may do so by selecting "OCBC Digital" as the payment method in the Third-party App. Following such selection, the Payer will be automatically directed to the log-in page of the OCBC Mobile Banking application. The Payer will be required to log in to the OCBC Mobile Banking application by entering the Payer’s Access Credentials.

    3HA.6 If the Payer’s Access Credentials are successfully verified, the Payer will be shown (via a display on the OCBC Mobile Banking application) the details of the intended Third-party App Transaction such as the details of the merchant that is the intended Recipient, the Transfer Amount, and the Payer’s OCBC account(s) or Card Account(s) from which the Payer may transfer the Transfer Amount.

    3HA.7 In order to submit the Transaction Request, the Payer will be required to select an eligible OCBC account or Card Account(s) from which the Payer wishes to transfer the Transfer Amount and to follow any further steps prescribed by the Bank via the OCBC Mobile Banking application (and/or where applicable the Third-party App), including (where relevant) performing Transaction Signing in accordance with the instructions displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application. Before submitting a Transaction Request, the Payer is responsible for checking the name of the merchant displayed on the OCBC Mobile Banking application (and/or where applicable the Third-party App) and for ensuring that the relevant merchant is the intended Recipient of the funds.

    3HA.8 The Payer is responsible for ensuring, and the Payer warrants, the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of all information provided in respect of all Transaction Request(s) made, submitted or issued by the Payer (or purported to be made, submitted or issued by the Payer), including but not limited to the Recipient's contact details or UEN.

    3HA.9 Once a Transaction Request has been submitted, it will be deemed irrevocable and the Payer will not be able to withdraw, cancel or make any changes to such Transaction Request. Depending on the nature of the Transaction Request and where permitted by the Bank, the Payer may be able to submit a new Transaction Request to supersede the submitted Transaction Request.

    3HA.10 The Bank shall be entitled, at its absolute discretion, to reject or refuse to accept or process or to cancel any Transaction Request or MB Transaction and shall not be required to give any reason for the same.

    3HA.12 In relation to Cardless ATM Cash Withdrawals via OCBC Mobile Banking Service through the OCBC Mobile Banking application, the amount that the Payer may withdraw (whether pursuant to a single or multiple Transaction Requests), together with the amounts the Payer may withdraw in relation to Cardless ATM Cash Withdrawals via PAO Service through the OCBC Pay Anyone™ Application, is subject to a shared aggregate daily limit of S$1,000.

LTD. (“NETS”)), the amount that the Payer may transfer (whether pursuant to a single or multiple Transaction Requests), together with the amounts the Payer may transfer in relation to PayNow Transactions (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for OCBC Pay Anyone™ Service for Payers) and Non-PayNow QR Transactions (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for OCBC Pay Anyone™ via QR Service) (where the relevant Third Party Provider (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for OCBC Pay Anyone™ via QR Service) is NETS), via PAO Service through the OCBC Pay Anyone™ Application, is subject to a default shared aggregate daily limit of S$1,000, and should the Payer choose to update such shared aggregate daily limit, up to a maximum shared aggregate daily limit of S$200,000 (S$300,000 for Premier customers and above).

    3HA.14 In relation to any other MB Transaction not described above, including Cross-Border PayNow Transactions, the amount that the Payer may transfer (whether pursuant to a single or multiple Transaction Requests), is subject to a shared aggregate daily limit of S$1,000.

    This limit is reset at midnight (Singapore time) daily. The Bank may, at its absolute discretion, alter any limit or impose additional limits on the Transfer Amount(s) that may be transferred by the Payer, whether on a per transaction basis, per type of MB Transaction basis, or an aggregated basis, without prior notice to the Payer.

    Please refer to this table for the various daily transaction limits described above.

    3HA.15 In relation to each MB Transaction:

    1. The Payer hereby instructs and authorises the Bank to debit the Payer’s Account and transfer or procure the transfer of the Transfer Amount to the bank account or e-wallet (as the case may be):
      1. linked to the relevant registered proxy in PayNow (in the case of a PayNow Transaction);
      2. linked to the relevant registered proxy in the relevant Overseas Payment Initiative (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for Funds Transfer via the OCBC Cross-Border PayNow Service) (in the case of a Cross-Border PayNow Transaction);

      1. the Transfer Amount has been successfully transferred to the bank account or e-wallet designated by the Recipient; or
      2. following the provision of the correct QR Code by the Recipient, the Transfer Amount has not been credited, or has failed to be credited to the bank account or e-wallet designated by the Recipient (i.e. the relevant MB Transaction is unsuccessful)
    4. If a MB Transaction is unsuccessful (as determined pursuant to Clause 3HA.10) but the Transfer Amount has been debited from the Payer’s Account, the Bank shall, where the Bank is in possession of the Transfer Amount or upon receipt by the Bank of the Transfer Amount, arrange for the Transfer Amount to be credited back to the Payer’s Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Payer will not be entitled to receive any interest in respect of the Transfer Amount.

    3HA.16 The Payer agrees to receive notifications (by or on behalf of the Bank or its service providers) in relation to MB Transactions and/or the MB Transaction Service by (i) SMS, (ii) push notification, (iii) email, and/or (iv) such other media as the Bank may deem appropriate.

    3HA.17 The Bank reserves the right to impose charges or to revise at any time such charges for the use of the MB Transaction Service and/or the OCBC Mobile Banking application upon written notice to the Payer. Such charges or revisions shall take effect from the date stated in the notice.

    3HA.18 The Bank expressly excludes any guarantee, representation, warranty, condition, term or undertaking of any kind, whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise, relating to or arising from the use of, the MB Transaction Service or in relation to the processing of or any other matter relating to any Transaction Request or MB Transaction. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the acceptance by the Bank of the Payer’s submission of a Transaction Request does not amount to a representation or warranty by the Bank that it will, and does not impose any obligation on the Bank to, process the MB Transaction or transfer the Transfer Amount to the Recipient (regardless of whether such transfer is to the Recipient’s designated bank account or e-wallet) and the Bank does not represent or warrant that:

      2. any failure, refusal, delay or error by any third party or third party system, equipment or device (including the FAST payment systems or payment systems of any Third Party Provider (as defined in the Terms and Conditions for MB Transactions via QR Service)) through whom or which any MB Transaction is made;
    4. any use of the Payer’s mobile device(s) or any security procedure which is rejected by a merchant, an ATM or any terminal used to process a QR Transaction;
    5. any malfunction, defect or error in any terminal used to process a QR Transaction, or of other machines or systems of authorisation or the inability of any terminal, machine or system to accurately, properly or promptly transmit, process or store any data;

    3HC. Terms and conditions for MB Transactions via QR Service

    Introduction

    3HC.1 These terms and conditions ("QR Terms") apply to and regulate the Customer’s use of the "QR Service", a part of the Bank’s MB Transaction Service, which allows the Customer to send or request payments through the OCBC Mobile Banking application via the use of a QR Code for the purpose of identifying the intended Recipient of the funds.

    3HC.2 QR Transactions are part of MB Transactions and the Payer Terms and Recipient Terms would apply in respect of all QR Transactions (e.g. notifications in relation to QR Transactions will be dealt with in accordance with the terms set out therein).

    3HC.3 The Customer may request (each such request a “QR Transaction Request”) for the following types of transactions ("QR Transactions") to be carried out via the QR Service:

    1. payments via the QR Code displayed at the premise of and/or provided by merchants ("Non-PayNow QR Transactions"); and
    2. payments via PayNow where the Recipient is identified through a QR Code ("PayNow QR Transactions"). The Customer may either:
      1. request (as "Payor") to initiate a PayNow QR and other Barcode Transaction via the OCBC Mobile Banking application, by scanning or uploading the QR and other Barcode of a Payee who has registered their mobile number, their UEN (plus the suffix combination where applicable) or their VPA, as the case may be, as a proxy under PayNow, using the QR and other Barcode Service. For the avoidance of doubt, “UEN” refers to the Unique Entity Number which serves as a standard identification number for an entity and which is issued by the applicable Unique Entity Number issuance agencies and “VPA” refers to the PayNow proxy called “virtual payment address” which allows individuals or entities to link their mobile number to an e-wallet offered by a non-bank financial institution; or
      2. as a real customer of the Bank, request (as "Payee") the Bank to generate via the Application, a personalised QR Code for the Customer in order to request and receive funds transfers from third party Payors without revealing the Customer’s account number, mobile number or other personal details.

     

    3HC.4 The Customer agrees to comply with all guidelines, policies and procedures pertaining to use of the QR Service issued by or on behalf of the Bank from time to time. For a QR Transaction to be conducted, the Customer will need to:

    1. have registered the Customer’s Registered Mobile Device for the relevant fingerprint recognition feature or, as the case may be, face recognition feature through the OCBC Mobile Banking application in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Bank’s latest instructions, procedures and directions;
    2. accept and agree to these Terms and Conditions; and
    3. where the relevant QR and other Barcode Transaction is a PayNow QR and other Barcode Transaction, additionally accept and agree to the Terms and Conditions for the OCBC PayNow Service.

    provided that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions will be applied in the following order of precedence with the provisions higher in the order of precedence prevailing over the provisions in the lower order of precedence, to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency:

    1. Terms and Conditions for the OCBC PayNow Service;
    2. these QR Terms; and

    Third Party Partnerships

    3I.3 The OCBC Internet Banking Platforms may allow the Customer to browse and place Orders for products and services from the Operators and/or other Merchants, either directly through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, or through the Operators' platforms which are accessible via the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms. The Bank does not own, sell or resell any products and services of such Operators and/or Merchants and does not control the Operators, Merchants or any products and services offered or provided by them. For avoidance of doubt, any Orders placed directly through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms will be provided, processed and handled by the relevant Operator and/or Merchant, and not the Bank.

    3I.4 The Customer acknowledges and accepts that all Third Party Services offered for browsing and placement of Orders on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, or on an Operator’s platform (which may be accessible through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms) are sold and/or provided by the relevant Operator or Merchant as indicated on the specific listing on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or Operator’s platform as the merchant on record, and not the Bank. The Customer understands that any Order that the Customer places shall be subject to the product and/or service availability/serviceability of the relevant Operator or Merchant, as well as any additional terms and conditions (including but not limited to any terms or policies relating to or governing refunds, returns, cancellations or exchanges) provided by the Bank, Operators or Merchants.

    3I.5 The Bank neither endorses nor assumes any responsibility or liability arising in connection with any Order or the products and services in respect of which an Order is carried out or any Third Party Services. Transfer of risk and property in purchased products, delivery, product warranties (including the conditions and remedies for such warranties), support, refunds, returns, replacements, exchanges and any other ancillary products or services in relation to such products and services shall be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the relevant Operator and/or the relevant Merchant, which may be indicated on the specific listing or elsewhere on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms.

    3I.6 The Customer may place an Order in accordance with the instructions as prescribed on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or on the relevant Operator’s platform from time to time. Orders placed in any other manner on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) will not be eligible for acceptance. Upon placing an Order, the Customer’s Order will be processed but only deemed to be accepted upon the relevant Operator’s or Merchant's confirmation (which shall be communicated to the Customer via such channels or mediums as the relevant Operator may determine).

    3I.7 The Customer acknowledges that the Customer shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Order and that each Order shall be deemed to be irrevocable and non-cancellable upon transmission through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall be entitled to process such Order(s) without any further reference or notice to the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges that unless the Customer receives the relevant Operator's and/or Merchant's confirmation (which shall be communicated to the Customer via such channels or mediums as such Operator and/or Merchant may determine) accepting the Customer’s Order, the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be party to any legally binding agreements or promises made between such Operator and/or Merchant and the Customer for the sale or other dealings with the relevant products and/or services and accordingly the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be liable for any Losses which may be incurred as a result. For the avoidance of doubt, such Operator and/or Merchant each reserve the right to decline to process or accept any Order received from or through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms or the relevant Operator’s platform (as the case may be) in their absolute discretion.

    3I.9 Additionally, the Bank reserves the right to not process any payment transaction via the OCBC Mobile Banking Transaction Service if: (i) such transaction does not comply with the requirements or terms and conditions applicable to the use of the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms, including these Third Party Services Terms, or is otherwise not in the mode or manner required by the Bank; (ii) the Bank is prohibited from processing such transaction by reason of any applicable laws or legal requirements; or (iii) for such other reason as the Bank may deem appropriate at its sole discretion.

    3I.10 The Bank may from time to time, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to the Customer, change and/or amend any of the following:

    1. the list of Operators and/or Merchants; and
    2. any specific terms and conditions for any transaction and/or Order, and shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by the Customer due to such change and/or amendment (including but not limited to any unavailability of the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or any Operator’s platform due to transition arrangements).

    3I.11 The Customer agrees that each of the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall have the right to terminate a Customer Contract with immediate effect in the event that the relevant product and/or service has been mispriced on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or the Operator’s platform, or for any other reason as may be determined by the relevant Operator or Merchant in their absolute discretion.

    3I.12 The Customer acknowledges and warrants that the Customer has not relied on any term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation made by or on behalf of any Operator or Merchant which has not been stated expressly in a Customer Contract or upon any descriptions or illustrations or specifications contained in any document including any catalogues or publicity material produced by the Bank, and/or any Operator or Merchant. The Customer also acknowledges and agrees that the exclusion of warranties, exclusion of liability and exclusion of remedies in these Third Party Services Terms and Customer Contracts allocate risks between the parties and permit the Operators or Merchants to provide their products and/or services at lower fees or prices than such Operators or Merchants otherwise could and the Customer agrees that such exclusions of liability are reasonable.

    3I.13 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3I.12:

    1. as the third-party platforms as well as the products and/or services are operated and/or provided by Operators and Merchants, and not the Bank (notwithstanding that they may incorporate any marks and logos of the Bank), the Bank gives no warranty as to the quality, merchantability, state, condition or fitness of the third-party platforms, products and/or services offered, provided or made available on the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms;
    2. no condition is made or to be implied nor is any warranty given or to be implied as to the products and/or services provided as well as the life or wear of any products and/or services supplied or that they will be suitable for any particular purpose or use under any specific conditions, notwithstanding that such purpose or conditions may be known to the relevant Operator and/or Merchant; and
    3. the Bank shall be under no liability for the following measures and actions taken by the Customer or third parties and the consequences thereof: improper remedy of defects, alteration of the relevant products and/or services without the prior agreement of the Bank, addition and insertion of parts, in particular of spare parts which do not come from the Bank.

Special Instructions – the Operators and/or Merchants shall reasonably endeavour but shall not be obligated to comply with the Customer’s special instructions for an Order and/or Customer Contract. There shall be no replacement or refund for an Order and/or Customer Contract which does not conform to special instructions provided by the Customer.
    3. Alcohol - Persons placing an order for alcohol from any Operator or Merchant must be at least eighteen (18) years old.

Operators and/or Merchants will have the right to refuse to deliver or provide any alcoholic product to any person who at the time of delivery or collection of takeaway, (i) does not appear to be at least eighteen (18) years old or (ii) cannot prove that he/she is at least eighteen (18) years old or (iii) is, or appears to be, under the influence of either alcohol or drugs at the time of delivery or collection of takeaway and in such an event the Customer agrees that the Bank, and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant shall not be liable to make any refund to the Customer for the payment already made by the Customer.

    3I.15 The Bank makes no representations to the Customer or other end-users / end-consumers as to the quality or nature or suitability of the food or beverages offered for sale through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms and/or the Operators’ platforms accessible through the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms. Information on the food and beverages offered or available is obtained from the Operators and/or the Merchants and as between the Customer and the Bank, the Operator's and/or the Merchant's food and/or beverages are "as offered" by the Operators and the Merchants. Descriptions or statements about food and/or beverages advertised via the OCBC Internet Banking Platforms are provided by the relevant Operator and Merchant and we do not verify these descriptions or statements and the Bank disclaims all warranties and representations in relation to any such Operators and Merchants and their food and/or beverages.

The Customer’s orders may be packaged with orders from other users at the time of collection/delivery, and such other orders may contain allergens. The Customer acknowledges that by placing Orders for food or beverage items, the Customer may be exposed to food or beverages that may cause an allergic reaction or injury, and in that regard the Customer on the Customer’s accord and on behalf of other end-users / end-consumers hereby fully release and discharge the Bank and the relevant Operator and/or Merchant from any and all liability and/or responsibility to the Customer or other end-users / end-consumers.

    3I.17 The Customer agrees not to make any claim against the Bank in respect of any loss or damage (including with respect to personal injuries) which may arise from or in connection with the Operators' and Merchants' performance or non-performance of the Customer Contract or other sale contract, or which may arise from or in connection with the nature, quality or fitness for purpose of the products and/or services supplied by the Operators and Merchants (or due to any defect therein), or arising in any other way, and the Customer shall release and hold the Bank harmless against any such loss or damage. The Customer agrees to use/consume all products and/or services supplied by the Operators and Merchants in a proper manner. In particular, upon receipt/collection of food and/or beverage items, the Customer shall either consume them immediately or transport and store them appropriately (including keeping in storage at a proper temperature).

    Fees and charges

    3I.18 The Customer may make payment in respect of an Order by using any of the payment methods prescribed by the Merchant and/or an Operator from time to time (including without limitation, the OCBC Internet Banking Service) and in accordance with any additional terms as may be prescribed by the relevant Merchant and/or Operator from time to time. Payments may be made to and processed by relevant Operator’s and/or Merchant’s payment processor. The Customer acknowledges that the Operators are entitled to collect payments from the Customer on behalf of the Merchants, where applicable.
