The system we are upgrading is the core engine of our banking system. While we have been maintaining the system regularly, the system has been in place for several years. It is therefore timely for us to overhaul the system to ensure the continued smooth delivery of services to customers.
The two-stage service disruption was designed to minimise the inconvenience to you as we could limit the duration when all services are NOT available. This happens in the second stage, between 2 am and 1 pm on 9 August.
From 4 pm, 8 August (Thursday) to 2 am, 9 August (Friday), we will continue to avail frequently-used ATM, Internet, Mobile and Phone Banking services. For more details, read "What services are affected by your system upgrade?".
We are alerting customers through various channels including press advertisements, letters, e-mails and SMSes.
In addition, we are also putting up notices at our branches, ATMs, OCBC Internet webpages and social media channels to inform customers of the system upgrade and service disruption.
We have been working on this planned system upgrade for over a year and have a strong and dedicated team of system engineers who are committed to restoring system capabilities by 1 pm on 9 August.
In the unfortunate event that this does not happen, we will alert customer via our Internet sites as well as social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. We will do our utmost to ensure that a delay, if any, is not prolonged.
There will be no change to any of your account information.
