Log In

  1. How do I log in BOCNET for the first time?
    After you successfully registered BOCNET Service at the counter, please click “Personal Online Banking Log in” on BOC website (www.bankofchina.co.id) homepage to log in. For the first time log in, please enter the initial log in username and password as indicated in the Password Mailer and e-Token that you received from Bank. After successfully logging in, the system will require you to create a new Username and Password, then you can start using the various functions of BOCNET.

  2. When I try to log in, why does it prompt “dialog failure”?
    After logging in, if you leave it unattended for a long time, the system will prompt “dialog failure” and automatically log your BOCNET off. If you still want to use the system, please log in again. Such design is to prevent your account from being maliciously operated when you leave your computer unattended and forget to log out.

  3. What should I do if I am not able to log in BOCNET with the correct credentials?
    For security reasons, if you have tried to logging in with your BOCNET credentials (Username/Password/e-Token dynamic password) unsuccessfully for 5 times in a day, your Password/ e-Token will be temporarily locked and will be released on the next day.
    If you have tried to logging in with the wrong password for a total of 15 times consecutively or wrong e-Token password for a total of 10 times consecutively, your BOCNET will be disabled and you would need to proceed to one of our branches to unlock it.
    If you have entered the correct credentials but you are still unable to log in, please try to clear browser history/cache.

    Browser Steps
    Internet Explorer 1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Safety > Delete Browsing History.
    2. Tick All Types of Data, and then click Delete.
    3. Restart browser.
    Google Chrome 1. In Chrome, click More Tools > Clear Browsing Data.
    2. On Time range column choose All Time, tick All Types of Data, and then select Clear Data.
    3. Restart browser.
    Mozilla Firefox 1. In Firefox, click Library > History > Clear Recent History.

  4. How do I change my Username and Password?
    You could change your username through BOCNET on your first time log in. You only can change your username one time. If you need to modify your username, you need to cancel your BOCNET service and re-open it.
    If you would like to change your password, kindly log in to BOCNET, go to the menu bar and click “Service Setting” and select “Change Password”. Password contains numbers, English letters and punctuations with a length of 8-20 digits, which should be case sensitive. The new password will be effective at the next log in. We suggest you to regularly change your internet banking password and avoid using common combination to enhance the security of BOCNET service.

Authentication Methods (e-Token)

  1. What is the function of e-Token?
    e-Token is a security device that is provided to you to enable you to access BOCNET.
    It will generate a unique 6-digit passcode, also known as one-time password (OTP), which is displayed on a small screen of the e-Token. Each OTP has a limited time frame which will be updated every 60 seconds, and can only be used once. Hence, please input the OTP within its time span for authentication when you log in to the service. If not, you will need to re-activate it again to obtain a new OTP. The e-Token generally expires in 3-4 years (the expiration date is shown on the front of e-Token) and replacement can be done over the Bank’s counter.

  2. What should I do if I already input the dynamic password correctly, but the system prompts many times that the password is wrong?
    Such a case is not very likely to happen. Once it happens, it is possibly caused by the deviation of time calculation of your dynamic password, rather than e-Token malfunction. In this case, you only need to synchronize the e-Token at the Bank’s counter, to ensure the similar mistakes will not happen in a long period.

  3. What should I do if my e-Token is lost, misplaced or stolen?
    Your first e-Token will be issued to you free of charge. In the event of lost, theft or negligence damage to the e-Token, kindly proceed to any of our branches with a valid identity card to request for a replacement. Replacement fee is chargeable.
