Note: This post is not about free/cheap calls. It's all about updating your contact number with Banks.
To make the transition smooth, here is the checklist ;)
Now is the age of 2FA, and most of the financial institutions are using the 2FA (Two factor Authentication) system for enhanced security. This added security is a hassle, if your forget to update your mobile number with them on time. This is a summary of the systems that i updated when i switched to a new provider
1. UOB
I maintain a savings account with UOB. For 2FA, one can choose between a hardware token or SMS OTP (One time password). I opted for SMS OTP, just to avoid the need of carrying the token hardware.
Register or update your local mobile phone numbers at any UOB ATM
By Post: Print this form [2 side], update your SMS OTP Number, fold and post it - Postage will be paid by UOB (Only in Singapore)
2. POSB
POSB has not given me a choice between a Hardware Token / SMS OTP. They right away send across this cute little device. But for adding a Fund Transfer payee, they send a OTP to the registered number. So, your mobile number has to be updated with them as well.
Login to citibank.com.sg, Click on this image on the right, fill in the details. Unlike UOB/POSB, It will take 2-3 working days to update.
