2 Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA is an added security feature of OCBC Internet Banking. It is a 6-digit One Time Password (OTP). The OTP is required each time you perform a high-risk transaction like funds transfer to an unregistered third party or a bill payment. OCBC Bank currently offers 2 methods of receiving the OTP. You may opt to have a small hardware device that generates the OTP when you input a request, or alternatively, have the OTP sent to you via SMS on your mobile phone.
