OCBC grants SingPass app access to digital banking services

The service was first rolled out on 4 July.

OCBC Bank customers can now use the SingPass Mobile app for digital banking services through the bank’s mobile banking app and Internet banking platform, according to an announcement.

The service was enabled by integrating digital banking services with Singapore’s National Digital Identity (NDI) platform. OCBC is the first bank to offer this service, which started on 4 July.

Using SingPass mobile as an alternative will benefit clients who currently use an access code and a PIN instead of fingerprint or facial biometrics to log into OCBC’s banking platforms.

Managed by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech), the SingPass Mobile app allows users to transact with over 60 government agencies online securely. More than 1.6 million Singapore residents use the app for government e-services, including checking their Central Provident Fund (CPF) account balances, filing taxes and applying for public housing.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
