It happens from time to time for OTP to the mobile. Better to use the hardware token.

Yes boc had problem ytd I press so many times otp, 1 to 2 hours later staggered 12 smses came. I gave up by then.

Why isn't your boc card saved inside the grab or fave app beforehand? Saving it will not prompt for otp when making payments on the spot.

Yeah face this problem occasionally. Damn annoying

giga has otp problems with certain bank. giga does not admit it when i quizzed them as i have other experiences with other telcos and i ported out of Giga soonafter.

means I switch out spending on this card once I hit $500 every month..then switch back to this card will have to key in OTP again..

Try changing the language to Chinese and request for OTP

i also thot changing chinese will do the trick but OTP doesn't works. it's a BOC issue with their OTP provider.

 

[ekardo]

ya...kanna again just now when trying to pay bill...

quite unreliable compared to other banks and even local banks..

It is. But for 3.55% cant really complain. Now it is way ahead the rest of the banks.

All our SG local banks cut rates at sight of low interest env.

i gave up and used token to login and pay bills instead. No issues at all.

Does anyone know how to do a FAST transfer to another bank account using the BOC online interface? I can do a PayNow transfer and I can add other bank accounts as payees, but I can't find the option to transfer money to other bank accounts.

Has anyone tried changing the billing cycle for BOC credit cards to more closely match the calendar month?
