    It's an all-too-familiar scene: You've rushed out of the house to go to work or to the store, and halfway to your destination you realise that you've left your wallet at home? Your stomach sinks and thoughts start to slowly swirl in your head, like a bad dream that you want to forget. How will you pay for your lunch, your groceries? Should you ask a colleague to lend you some cash? Do you have time to go back home and get your wallet, or is it just too late?

    With the OCBC Digital app downloaded to your smartphone, there's no need to worry about any of these scenarios. Open the app, and with a few simple swipes and taps of your fingers, you can bank digitally with OCBC - a name Singaporeans have trusted with their money since 1932. If you leave your wallet at home, you can scan the QR code via both OCBC Digital and OCBC Pay Anyone apps on the ATM screen to get cash (no card required - a transaction that is virtually contactless) or make payments with the OCBC Pay Anyone app - who needs a wallet?

    The QR code-enabled cash withdrawal is just one of the many convenient features that users of the OCBC Digital app enjoy. Whether you're out and about for work or pleasure, or staying at home with loved ones, the app offers you a diverse range of integrated financial services, granting you the power to fully manage your money without the need to make a trip to the bank.

    Keep track of your finances

    The app provides you with all the tools to take charge of your finances from anywhere. With OCBC Financial OneView you can examine information from government agencies such as CPF, IRAS and HDB, making it simpler to identify and plan your financial goals.

    Also with the app, track your cash flow each month and compare it across months with ease, without the need for clunky spreadsheets. Sort all expenditures by category, so that you can see exactly what you are spending and where; the app can even send you a monthly report to make that easier. In a heartbeat, set up GIRO payments so that you're never late to pay a bill ever again.

    The OCBC Digital app also sends personalised tips that can help you to budget your money more smartly and let you accomplish your savings goals. Fuss-free wealth management

    For everyday uses, the app is just as agile.
