Hello from Team OCBC

[OCBC Bank]

If i open the account this month with 5000 fresh fund and there is no withdrawal for this month, am I entitled for 1.45% interest?

Hi

Yes. The initial deposit is considered. And as long as you don't withdraw for the rest of the month, you will earn 1.45%pa on your account balance

Hello OCBC,

I want to make an application to your CNY campaign (85$ voucher for every 10k) but I am not sure if my account is eligible.

From the registration page, only these accounts can be enrolled:
Your Passbook / Statement / SmartParent/ Easisave / Premier Statement / Premier Easisave Account number

Please note that this promotion excludes statement-operated accounts, such as OCBC 360, OCBC Monthly Savings, NTUC-OCBC Starter and Plus! Accounts. Your application will be rejected if you select such accounts, notwithstanding you are able to complete and submit this application online.

I have one 360 account which is excluded, and another that only says "Savings Account". Is this eligible? I remember opening it last year for the previous CNY campaign and got that gold passbook. Is this a passbook or a statement account?

Hope you can clarify. Thanks.

OCBC, are you here?
I received a targeted sms from OCBC on the spend $500 get $50, or spend $300 get $20 promo if swipe wif Titanium card.
But hor, when I tapped on the url on the promo t&c, the promo ended on 31 Dec '19 leh.
So this promo got extended into 2020, or they wrongly sent out this sms to me?

Hi Ocbc
Why are you forcing me to change the access code again? I am not using the one that was issued. I cannot do anything from online banking because your pop out screen is forcing me to change.

Hi OCBC

Just to confirm and ask another question:

I have learnt from my friends that it is possible for me to stop the plan and still able to keep the stocks in my account until I’m ready to sell them away in future. Is this correct?

Or does it mean that stopping the plan means selling of shares as well?

Hi there,

To terminate your BCIP account, you will have to visit our branch to put in your request.

Before heading down to the branch, you may sell or transfer your shares, and also cancel any existing monthly investment instructions.

Steps to sell existing shares (via Internet Banking):

-Place cursor over Investment & Trading
-Click on Blue Chip Investment Plan
-Click on Sell My Holdings
-Indicate the number of shares to sell under the “Number of Units” column
-At the bottom of the same page, check the checkbox to agree to the T&Cs
-Click on Next
-Review the details and confirm that they are correct
-Click on Submit
-An acknowledgement message will be displayed with the information on the effective date

If you are looking to transfer out the shares, please refer to 'BCIP Transfer of Shares' on https://www.ocbc.com/personal-banking/investments/bcip-faqs.pdf for more details.

received sms say my CNY promo not successful. After going through so many troubles.

Hi win_man,

Sorry to hear that you did not meet the qualifying criteria for the promotion.

Some points to take note of in order to qualify for the Deposits CNY promotion:
- Fresh funds must be deposited into eligible accounts as stipulated in the T&C’s under clause 1.2
- Funds must be fresh funds, as defined under clause 1.4, to be transferred within 3 days from date of registration
- Fresh funds deposit must be made in a single lump-sum transaction (i.e. every S$10,000 in a single transaction, S$20,000 in a single transaction, S$100,000 in a single transaction, S$380,000 in a single transaction)

You may refer to the full T&C’s here:

Hope this clarifies, thank you. ^XF

I opened a new statement account and definitely have to test with $1 for the first transaction. It is to safeguard myself. Followed by another $10,000. Maybe thats why i got disqualified.

By the way, Opening the account from the promo site didnt work. End up i have to open from the main IB page. Not sure why I ended up opening two accounts which i need to close lol

Hi win_man,

If you’d like to do a check on the reason for disqualification, share your contact number with us via PM for a check.

May we know if you encountered an error message while trying to register for the promotion? If you happen to have a screenshot of the error message, kindly share it with us via PM as well, thank you.

Take note to close newly opened accounts after 6 months from date of account opening, to prevent incurring the early account closure fee of S$30.

Hey there

OCBC ATM PINs can only be reset at ATMs (if you know the previous PIN) or physically at branches
