BOC SmartSaver

[AMD_FREAK]

Wow, scary leh .... must think again whether to open acct with BOC

BOC is listed as one of the DI Scheme members in SDIC : https://www.sdic.org.sg/di_scheme_members.php

Your first SGD50k is insured

so you mean can qualify as $500 spend is it on Mastercard debit card ?

I think you can qualify, if you charge your payment of your cc bill at axs online, using your mastercard debit card. I cant verify this, as I spent more than $500 on my boc cc.

Hi all,

Is it true that BOC SmartSaver account does not support GIRO

1. IRAS - income and
2. IRAS property tax?

I submitted my GIRO application forms and both got rejected - stating that BOC does not support GIRO IRAS.

Cool Trazora. You have been helping me all these while. How did you do that? FYI, i used the IRAS GIRO application form that was mail to me.

I don't really remember. But I think there is only one way, ie to use the GIRO application form. https://www.iras.gov.sg/IRASHome/Quick-Links/Payments/GIRO-application-form/

Not sure if it can be used on ios, the "boc mobile banking" app is in google play. Need to go to internet banking and activate the mobile banking service, which ask you to set user id and password for mobile banking. If you want login using sms otp instead of token, need to go bank to set up sms otp.

Thanks Bro Trazora - much appreciate it!

I used the same form last month and it was approved (confirmation letters from IRAS and BOC).

Welcomed. Just curious, does ios allow installation of the app?

That's cool. Wondering why saintgtril's not approved.

 

[saintgtril]

I also dont know why. Earlier i used the "HOW TO PAY" form, it indicates the these banks, DBS/POSB/UOB/OCBC and HSBC. With instructions please circle one....

I will use the form from this site and re-submit the applications https://www.iras.gov.sg/IRASHome/Quick-Links/Payments/GIRO-application-form

Thanks Suleyman and Trazora!!!

I will check by today and update you

Still trying to enable my id from internet banking first.

 

[vince123123]

Yes it does, I just tried it out. But I donno how to log in. It seems to use the mobile number instead of the userid on the website but keeps saying "wrong mobile number"

IOS mobile apps for BOS works fine.

You can choose either to log in with token or SMS ( provided you already activated SMS online )

you dont use your mobile number as userid, but you have to create a different userid from the website one

yes, the BOC logo one

 

[Trazora]

yes, the BOC logo one

There was an earlier post where someone used a app which ask for mobile number, same situation as vince123123. And the conclusion then was the wrong app was used.

The one asking phone no. is for China. Use this instead

Just created from internet banking.

And which app to use on the mobile?

Memo on transfer restrictions already in place and sent to all consumer but no info at all!

Geez.. the team/person rolling this out really cant think / not capable liao.
