With this measure, customers on Digital Token can no longer use SMS OTP or OTP generated by UOB TMRW app to authenticate their login request to UOB Personal Internet Banking (PIB). Instead, they will need to use Digital Token to authenticate their login. Please follow the on-screen instructions when you log in to PIB as follows:

Step 1A: After you have logged in to UOB Personal Internet Banking (PIB), you will be asked  to tap on the digital token notification that you have received

Step 1B: If you have missed the notification, you may retrieve the Digital Token notification prompt from the “Digital Token” icon on UOB TMRW login screen

Step 2: Tap on “Yes” to authorise the PIB login

Step 3: Tap on “OK” to continue your session

Alternatively, you may use your Physical Token to authenticate your login to PIB by clicking on “Use physical token instead.

You can simply tap on the “Digital token” icon on the login screen of your UOB TMRW app to retrieve the digital token notification.

As part of the ongoing industry-wide efforts to protect our customers from phishing scams, since end July 2024, we have phased out SMS-OTP as an authentication option for your login to PIB.

Don’t worry. You can still access PIB using your Physical Token if you have one.

Your online banking security is our top priority, and we are committed to protect you from scams.As part of the latest industry move to strengthen the resilience against phishing scams, banks in Singapore have introduced Singpass Face Verification (SFV) as part of the Digital Token set-up.This additional layer of authentication will be prompted if there is any unusual or suspicious activity detected during the Digital Token setup process. A face scan will verify a customer’s identity against national records before the customer’s digital token is activated for use. This makes it harder for scammers to gain access to your accounts.

You will need to sign up for your Singpass account if you do not have one. The use of Singpass face verification (SFV) is the latest security measure that banks have introduced as part of the Digital token set-up to protect customers from scams. If you are being prompted for your Singpass Face Verification (SFV) , that's due to unusual or suspicious activity detected. 

UOB TMRW may require users to perform an additional security verification using Singpass Face Verification when higher risk or unusual activities are detected during the digital token setup process.

UOB TMRW will only prompt you to perform Singpass face verification (SFV) when higher risk or unusual activities are detected during the digital token setup process. Please follow the on-screen instructions to set up your digital token.

Not to worry! If you do not have Singpass account, you can simply register through the Singpass portal, and download the Singpass app before setting up your digital token. You may register instantly with Singpass face verification (SFV) or request for a One-Time Password PIN mailer which will be mailed to your registered address within 10 working days (depending on overseas postal services). Please ensure that your address registered with the Government is up-to-date before proceeding. If you require further assistance, please refer to here.

For more information on Singpass Face Verification, please visit: https://ask.gov.sg/singpass. If you need further assistance regarding your Singpass account, please click here.

Physical Token

To access UOB TMRW App, you will need to have a Digital Token. However, you can still use the Physical Token to login to your Personal Internet Banking.

We would like to recommend you, to switch to our Digital Token instead of replacing your Physical Token for added convenience. Click here to learn how to set up your Digital Token.

Alternatively, you can call our UOB General Hotline at 1800 222 2121 or visit your nearest UOB branch to submit your request for a replacement.

Rest assured that we will not send you an alert if you log in again from this device unless you uninstall and install the app again.

Money Lock

Digital scams are on the rise. This is why we are providing extra protection for your money by introducing the Money Lock feature to your existing current or savings accounts. You can set any amount that you would like to lock, which in turn limit your risk exposure for digital scams. Locked funds stay in your existing account(s) and you will continue to enjoy the same account benefits.

Money Lock protects your account balances by restricting withdrawal transactions for the monies falling below the Money Lock limit.

For example: Your account balance is S$10,000 and you have set up Money Lock amount of S$9,000. If you try to process a transaction higher than S$1,000 (e.g. buying an airline ticket, furniture, etc.), the transaction will be unsuccessful.

While your account(s) can continue to receive incoming monies, you will only be able to release the locked funds at a UOB ATM in Singapore. This way, scammers who may have illegally obtained access to your phone or banking app will not be able to transfer your locked funds out of the bank.

You can lock any amount of funds with Money Lock. This includes locking only a fraction of your account balances, or the whole balance. If you are expecting a large sum of incoming funds, like a salary bonus or maturing Fixed Deposit, you can also lock an amount higher than your current account balance.

Money Lock is an add-on feature for existing current and savings accounts (excluding LockAway Account) that allows you to have more control on the level of protection for your funds.

If you set up a locked amount on any of your existing current or savings account, you will enjoy the following benefits:

  • Lock any amount in your account and limit your risk exposure for digital scams.
  • Continue to earn interest at prevailing interest rate of the current or saving account.
  • Unlock funds at any UOB ATM in Singapore.

LockAway Account is a stand-alone account. If you open a LockAway account, you will enjoy the following benefits:

  • Funds in this account are automatically locked by default.
  • Separate your locked savings from your spending accounts.
  • Withdrawals can only be made in-person at any UOB Singapore branch.

Lock an amount above your available balance if you’re expecting a large deposit (e.g. bonus, maturing Fixed Deposit). By proactively setting a higher lock amount, future incoming funds will be protected from digital scams the moment it is credited to the account.

Lock an amount lower than your available balance if you use this account for your day-to-day transactions, or have scheduled payments linked to this account (e.g. GIRO or debit card deductions).

Your locked amount is the amount of funds that are restricted from withdrawal transactions such as digital fund transfers, debit card purchases and GIRO debits.

Withdrawable amount is the amount of free funds you have, after accounting for your locked amount.

For example, you have S$10,000 in your savings account. You have set up a locked amount of S$8,000 for this savings account. Your remaining free funds, or withdrawable amount, is S$2,000. Transactions can continue to be debited up to a cumulative transaction amount of S$2,000. Thereafter, the remaining S$8,000 is protected from further debiting, which in turn limit your risk exposure for digital scams.

You can fully unlock your funds at any UOB ATM in Singapore.

Go to ‘Money Lock’ > Select ‘Set/Adjust Money Lock’ > Select your preferred account > Input ‘0’ in the ‘Amount to Lock’ field and press Confirm to fully release all locked funds.

Your banking security remains our top priority, and we are committed to protecting you from scams. UOB has a range of measures to protect our customers.

In addition to your username and password, we use a digital token to verify your identity for critical transactions like adding a payee or moving bigger sums of money.

If you have not set up your digital token, a SMS OTP (One-Time Password) will be required to complete the transaction.

 

Money Lock is an added layer of security which allows you to lock funds that you don’t need everyday access to. Always use good practices to avoid getting scammed by safeguarding your personal details such as NRIC, mobile number, address) and banking credentials such as username, password, OTP, PIN and card details.

Exercise caution with your personal details and banking credentials.
