What happens if I do not have my digital token mobile device with me? Are there other alternatives for me to access PIB?
Don’t worry. You can still access PIB using your Physical Token if you have one.
Why is there a need to do Singpass face verification (SFV) for my digital token setup?
Your online banking security is our top priority, and we are committed to protect you from scams.As part of the latest industry move to strengthen the resilience against phishing scams, banks in Singapore have introduced Singpass Face Verification (SFV) as part of the Digital Token set-up.This additional layer of authentication will be prompted if there is any unusual or suspicious activity detected during the Digital Token setup process. A face scan will verify a customer’s identity against national records before the customer’s digital token is activated for use. This makes it harder for scammers to gain access to your accounts.
I do not have a Singpass account and I need to set up my digital token urgently. What should I do?
You will need to sign up for your Singpass account if you do not have one. The use of Singpass face verification (SFV) is the latest security measure that banks have introduced as part of the Digital token set-up to protect customers from scams. If you are being prompted for your Singpass Face Verification (SFV) , that's due to unusual or suspicious activity detected.
Does Singpass face verification (SFV) apply every time I set up my digital token?
UOB TMRW may require users to perform an additional security verification using Singpass Face Verification when higher risk or unusual activities are detected during the digital token setup process.
I’m a foreigner without Singpass, will I be prompted to perform Singpass face verification SFV during digital token setup?
UOB TMRW will only prompt you to perform Singpass face verification (SFV) when higher risk or unusual activities are detected during the digital token setup process. Please follow the on-screen instructions to set up your digital token.
I’m living overseas. How do I register for a Singpass account?
Not to worry! If you do not have Singpass account, you can simply register through the Singpass portal, and download the Singpass app before setting up your digital token. You may register instantly with Singpass face verification (SFV) or request for a One-Time Password PIN mailer which will be mailed to your registered address within 10 working days (depending on overseas postal services). Please ensure that your address registered with the Government is up-to-date before proceeding. If you require further assistance, please refer to here.

Money Lock
What is Money Lock?
Digital scams are on the rise. This is why we are providing extra protection for your money by introducing the Money Lock feature to your existing current or savings accounts. You can set any amount that you would like to lock, which in turn limit your risk exposure for digital scams. Locked funds stay in your existing account(s) and you will continue to enjoy the same account benefits.
How does Money Lock work, and how does it protect me from digital scams?
Money Lock protects your account balances by restricting withdrawal transactions for the monies falling below the Money Lock limit.
For example: Your account balance is S$10,000 and you have set up Money Lock amount of S$9,000. If you try to process a transaction higher than S$1,000 (e.g. buying an airline ticket, furniture, etc.), the transaction will be unsuccessful.
While your account(s) can continue to receive incoming monies, you will only be able to release the locked funds at a UOB ATM in Singapore. This way, scammers who may have illegally obtained access to your phone or banking app will not be able to transfer your locked funds out of the bank.
You can lock any amount of funds with Money Lock. This includes locking only a fraction of your account balances, or the whole balance. If you are expecting a large sum of incoming funds, like a salary bonus or maturing Fixed Deposit, you can also lock an amount higher than your current account balance.
How is Money Lock different from LockAway Account?
Money Lock is an add-on feature for existing current and savings accounts (excluding LockAway Account) that allows you to have more control on the level of protection for your funds.
If you set up a locked amount on any of your existing current or savings account, you will enjoy the following benefits:
- Lock any amount in your account and limit your risk exposure for digital scams.
- Continue to earn interest at prevailing interest rate of the current or saving account.
- Unlock funds at any UOB ATM in Singapore.
LockAway Account is a stand-alone account. If you open a LockAway account, you will enjoy the following benefits:
- Funds in this account are automatically locked by default.
- Separate your locked savings from your spending accounts.
- Withdrawals can only be made in-person at any UOB Singapore branch.
How much should I lock?
Lock an amount above your available balance if you’re expecting a large deposit (e.g. bonus, maturing Fixed Deposit). By proactively setting a higher lock amount, future incoming funds will be protected from digital scams the moment it is credited to the account.
Lock an amount lower than your available balance if you use this account for your day-to-day transactions, or have scheduled payments linked to this account (e.g. GIRO or debit card deductions).
What is locked amount and withdrawable amount?
Your locked amount is the amount of funds that are restricted from withdrawal transactions such as digital fund transfers, debit card purchases and GIRO debits.
Withdrawable amount is the amount of free funds you have, after accounting for your locked amount.
For example, you have S$10,000 in your savings account. You have set up a locked amount of S$8,000 for this savings account. Your remaining free funds, or withdrawable amount, is S$2,000. Transactions can continue to be debited up to a cumulative transaction amount of S$2,000. Thereafter, the remaining S$8,000 is protected from further debiting, which in turn limit your risk exposure for digital scams.
How can I fully unlock my funds?
You can fully unlock your funds at any UOB ATM in Singapore.
Go to ‘Money Lock’ > Select ‘Set/Adjust Money Lock’ > Select your preferred account > Input ‘0’ in the ‘Amount to Lock’ field and press Confirm to fully release all locked funds.
If I do not use Money Lock, are my funds safe?
Your banking security remains our top priority, and we are committed to protecting you from scams. UOB has a range of measures to protect our customers.
In addition to your username and password, we use a digital token to verify your identity for critical transactions like adding a payee or moving bigger sums of money.
If you have not set up your digital token, a SMS OTP (One-Time Password) will be required to complete the transaction.
Money Lock is an added layer of security which allows you to lock funds that you don’t need everyday access to. Always use good practices to avoid getting scammed by safeguarding your personal details such as NRIC, mobile number, address) and banking credentials such as username, password, OTP, PIN and card details.
Exercise caution with your personal details and banking credentials.
1. DO NOT click on suspicious links. UOB will never send you SMS or email with a clickable link. UOB will never ask you to download a non-UOB app or make a fund transfer to a third-party account. If unsure, verify it on official channels.
2. DO NOT download apps from third-party websites. Use only apps from official app stores, as installing unknown apps may put your phone and data at risk.
3. Keep your personal and banking information confidential at all times and do not divulge it to anyone. UOB and our staff will never request for your banking details.
Do I have to open a new account to use Money Lock?
No. Money Lock is a new feature for eligible current and savings accounts, and not a stand-alone account.
What accounts can I set up Money Lock on?
You can lock your money using the Money Lock feature in any SGD and foreign currency current or savings account, including but not limited to:
- UOB One Account
