  • On-screen alerts to review and validate your online banking requests like fund transfers. This is to ensure you are transferring money to the right person.
  • Additional authentication via email One-Time Password (OTP) to prevent fraudsters from impersonating you to perform unauthorised transactions.
  • Rejection of transaction or log in request if we detect any suspicious online transaction or account activities If you experience this, kindly follow the instructions on your screen and contact UOB 24/7 Fraud Hotline immediately for assistance.

The on-screen alerts would provide you an opportunity to review and validate the payee details you have entered so that you are transferring funds to a known and trusted recipient.

How email OTP authentication works:

Step 1 - You will receive an on-screen alert that your transaction requires additional authentication with email OTP.

Step 2 - Obtain the email OTP sent by UOB Malaysia to your registered email address with the bank and enter the OTP as requested on your screen.

Step 3 - The OTP is validated and your transaction is now complete.

Transaction Limit Increase

The increase in scam cases reveals how scammers are able to hijack your banking account and perform unauthorised transactions when they access your phone or when they use scare tactics to convince victims to make authorised payments under duress.

From 1 July 2024 onwards, any increase to your transaction limits for online banking will only be effective after 12 hours (12-hour cooling off period). This serves as an extra layer of security to prevent large sums of money being transferred out from your account(s) immediately if the transaction limit increase was performed by fraudsters.

However, if you are looking to reduce your existing transaction limits, it will take effect immediately.

  • New request to increase your transaction limits: Once we receive a new request, a SMS notification will be sent to your registered mobile number with us. If you receive an SMS regarding this but did not perform the request, kindly contact our 24-hour Contact Centre immediately.
  • Request to increase transaction limit during the 12-hour cooling-off period: If you have an ongoing request to increase your limit, any new changes to increase your transaction limit will overwrite your ongoing request. This new change will only take effect after 12 hours. However, if you are looking to reduce your existing transaction limits, it will take effect immediately.

Yes, you can still perform transactions that are within your existing transaction limits during this period.

If you need to make a transaction above your limit immediately during banking operating hours, visit any UOB branch in person to perform the transaction over the counter.

We recommend that you review and update your transaction limits periodically as transaction limits give you a greater control over how your money moves out of your bank account(s). Based on your preference and banking needs, you can set transaction limits that are higher or lower than the default limits set by us.

You can review and update your existing transaction limits either on UOB TMRW app or UOB Personal Internet Banking website.

For UOB TMRW app, select "Services" followed by "Transaction limits". For UOB Personal Internet Banking, select "Transaction limits" under your name on UOB Personal Internet Banking website.

To review and update transaction limits for E-commerce/FPX, you can perform these updates on UOB Personal Internet Banking website only.
