As part of security control, newly registered AmOnline customers are only allowed to perform transactions up to the pre-defined limit within the pre-defined period set by the Bank.

If you have just bound your AmOnline profile to your personal mobile device, you will need to serve pre-defined cooling-off. This is a security measure to temporarily restrict transactions via AmOnline. Full access will be restored automatically after the cooling-off period has ended.

As part of security measure, for any increased transaction limit, you need to serve a 12-hour cooling-off period. Once the cooling-off period is over, you will get notified via push notification and email. Meanwhile you can still transact with your previous limit.
