On Monday (28 Aug) morning, OCBC Bank reported technical issues with their systems. As a result, most of their banking services, such as mobile and online banking, are not working.
Users who attempt to log in get either a perpetually loading screen or a screen telling them to try again later.
Responding to MS News’ queries at 12.24pm, an OCBC spokesperson said all banking services have been restored.
The bank is investigating the cause of the technical problem and will provide an update as soon as possible.
When MS News tried logging into our respective OCBC digital banking apps between 10.45am and 11.20am, we could not access any services.
Both the mobile banking app and the Pay Anyone app displayed the same notice, saying it was experiencing network issues.
