2. What should I be aware of when using BoC Pay?

Transaction Security

  1. "QR Code Payment" function should only be used at merchants who support UnionPay QR codes. Never capture the QR code and any information shown on the "QR Code Payment" page, and never send or disclose the information to others.
  2. When performing online transactions (including credit card transactions), carefully check the details such as the name of the merchant / recipient, transaction type, payment method (e.g. mobile number, email address, FPS ID, account number or the QR code used to request payment), transaction amount, currency, etc. to ensure the transaction is correct. If you have any doubts, please do not authenticate the transaction with payment passcode, biometric authentication or SMS one-time passwords.
  3. Please check your account balance and transaction records regularly. If you find any suspicious transactions, please contact us immediately.
