Dubbed OCBC Pay Anyone, the new function on the updated OCBC Mobile Banking app allows its e-banking customers to send up to $100 to any Facebook friend without needing the recipient's bank account details. The recipient can be the customer of any bank. Touted to be the first of its kind here, the service rides on the recently introduced Fast And Secure Transfers (Fast) inter-bank network that allows money transfers to be made instantly, compared with in two to three days via eGiro or cheques. Today, 14 local and foreign banks are using Fast. good idea? safe? if a child has an OCBC accounts and can they anyhow send money to friends? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
