I think I got ask before will remain usd. But they'll take 1%. Then if withdraw cash usd another 1%. Only RMB deposit or withdraw no charge. But ask and confirm again first.. maybe policy change

Thanks for your reply. Wow, 1% is quite a rip-off. I'd call and check but their CSO's English ...

Not sure if this has been posted before but something I learnt today.

You know how you need to physically bring your credit card down to the bank branch to link it to your internet banking account? The other thing you also need is the PIN number for the credit card. However, if you are like me, who usually throw away the PIN mailer without even bothering with it, they can help you to reset the PIN on the spot.

Does overseas spending count towards the $500 min credit card spend?

Can someone assist to point me to where I can set sms alerts for incoming funds/deposits/interest? I looked all over but am probably too blind to see it. Thanks!

What I did was I linked my debit card to my MCS account. Then from the iBanking portal, click on Debit Card Service > SMS Service. Then pick your linked Debit Card, followed by the sub account. Then click on "Setting". You should be able to modify the settings from there with regard to SMS alerts for funds movement.

I think as long as it is a Master / Visa / Unionpay transaction on a card that is linked to your MCS account, it counts.

I see, I was looking all over for account sms alerts, never thought it was based on an alert on the debit card. Will check it out.

One thing I realized that when shopping at NTUC, I use the BOC debit card, sometimes the transaction requires signature, sometimes don't. Any issues with that?

Seen this on dining as well.
I think there's some threshold whereby below it, BOC doesn't require a signature.

Think it is regardless of bank. One of the cashier at Swensen's told me that no need signature when using their new credit card machine for transactions below $45.

In fact NTUC implemented this earlier. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/no-signing-for-card-buys-at-more-places

Yes. 2 different reference number counted as 2 bills.

 

[Frostmourne1987]

Ah thanks for the clarification - you reply super fast ^^^

I noted that BOC partners with AXS for bill payment.. so was wondering if the back-end work of differentiating bills is done by BOC or AXS haha

what is the best way to spend $500 on the debit card and which retailer tends to post the amount into the statement quickly?

I'm already using citibank cashback for most of my transactions to get 8% cashback so i find it very hard to hit the $500 min card spend on BOC.

Any gurus can advise?

Can i use the BOC debit card as NETs on the AXS ?

It appears that e-AXS does not allow you to pay for credit card bill using a Mastercard (in this case, the BOC Mastercard Debit Card)?


- 16-digit card number and OTP are required to effect payment
- Able to pay for all bills except for credit card, loans and HDB eServices

Hello, I pay my credit card bill using BOC mastercard debit card. Just click on 'Pay Online' and select 'Mastercard Debit Card' (the one on the left side).
