OCBC Launches App For Apple Watch
The app provides customers with a range of services such as access to bank accounts, recent transactions, and the location of the nearest OCBC branch or ATM.
OCBC Bank has recently launched a new mobile banking app designed for Apple Watch. Among the first banking apps for a wearable device in Singapore, this latest offering will provide ease and convenience for the increasing number of customers who are now connected on-the-go with smartwatches.
With the app, customers can now have instant access to their personal banking information, including the full list of their balances – bank accounts, cards and investments, recent transactions, and even the location of the nearest OCBC Bank branch or ATM – on their Apple Watch.
To get started, customers need to perform a one-time activation on their OCBC iPhone mobile banking app. Once the Apple Watch app is activated, account information and recent transactions can be viewed on Apple Watch, without the need to login to Mobile Banking. This service is available for customers using mobile devices such as iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus operating on iOS 9 and Apple Watch devices running on WatchOS2.
One important thing to note is that, the service can only be activated on a single pair of Apple Watch and iPhone devices at one time and all account numbers displayed on the watch are partially masked with only the last four digits revealed. No information is stored on the phone or watch and, for increased security, customers can choose to set a passcode on their Apple Watch.
Customers can download or update their current mobile banking app to the new OCBC Bank mobile banking app for Apple Watch at: https://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/ocbc-sg-mobile-banking/id292506828?mt=8.
