Manage Your Account - Password and OTP

  • Retrieve user ID and password

    For new OCBC Securities client, the user ID and password will be mailed to you separately. The default user ID will be your trading account number in a 7-digit format, e.g. 0123456.

    For existing OCBC Securities client who have just applied for the iOCBC online trading account, the default user ID will be your existing trading account number in a 7-digit format, e.g. 0123456. Only the password will be mailed to you.

    For existing iOCBC clients who have applied for an additional trading account, kindly use your existing user ID and password to login (single login concept). We will not issue any new user ID and password.

  • Change user ID and password

    To change your user ID and password, simply click on “Account Mgmt” menu:

    User ID

    The new user ID chosen has to be alphanumeric and bearing 6 to 15 characters, e.g.  XYZ123456 or xyz123456.

    Password

    The new password chosen has to be alphanumeric, case-sensitive, mixture of upper and lower case and bearing 8 to 12 characters, e.g. ABC123, abc123.

    Note:

    Special symbols, e.g. &, {, !, $, etc., are not allowed for both user ID and password

    For added security, your new password cannot contain consecutive repeated characters.

    Example of acceptable new password by the system: london480

    Example of non-acceptable new password by the system: apple2008 (contains repeated “p” and repeated “0” consecutively)

    For added security, we have implemented periodic password change in our system. You are required to change your password every 300 days. Your existing password will still be valid if you do not login to iOCBC for more than 300 days. Upon successful login, you will be prompt to change to a new password. The previous password can only be recycled upon 3 password changed cycles

    However, as there may be some time delay in receiving the SMSes, when overseas, you may wish to consider selecting the hardware token instead.
