To increase your PayNow limit, log in to your bank's mobile app (DBS, OCBC, or UOB), navigate to 'Transfer Settings,' and adjust the daily limit (often up to SGD 200,000). This adjustment allows you to utilize Panda Remit’s seamless PayNow payment option for larger global payouts, ensuring every high-value transaction is strictly regulated by the MAS for maximum security.
Step-by-Step Guide: Adjusting Your PayNow Daily Limit
Most major Singaporean banks follow a similar protocol for security purposes. Follow this 1-2-3 step guide to raise your limit and facilitate smoother transactions:
- Log in and Navigate to Settings: Open your banking app (e.g., DBS digibank, OCBC Digital, or UOB TMRW). Locate the "Transfer Settings" or "Local Transfer Limits" section in the menu.
- Select PayNow and Adjust: Choose "PayNow" from the transfer types. Enter your desired new daily limit. While default limits are often SGD 1,000 or SGD 5,000, most banks allow you to increase this significantly (e.g., DBS allows up to SGD 200,000) to accommodate larger payments.
- Authenticate and Save: Confirm the change using your digital token or 2FA (SMS OTP). Your new limit is usually active immediately, allowing you to fund your Panda Remit account instantly.
