To transfer funds, simply open the DBS PayLah! app, tap on "Pay," and enter the recipient's PayNow-registered mobile number or UEN. Verify the details and slide to confirm. For users looking to send money internationally using this method, Panda Remit offers seamless payment via PayNow and ensures global transfers arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide: Transferring from PayLah! to PayNow
Since PayNow is an addressing service rather than a standalone wallet, transferring "to PayNow" actually means sending money to a bank account linked to a mobile number or UEN. Follow these 3 steps to complete the transaction instantly:
- Access the Pay Function: Log in to your DBS PayLah! app using your Face ID or PIN. On the home screen, tap the 'Pay' button located at the bottom.
- Enter Recipient Details: You can either scan the recipient's PayNow QR code or manually enter their PayNow-registered mobile number (for individuals) or UEN (for businesses).
- Confirm and Send: Enter the transfer amount. Review the recipient's name (masked for privacy) to ensure accuracy. Tap 'Let's Go' or slide to confirm. The funds are transferred instantly.
Optimizing Your Transfers: Local vs. Global
While PayLah! is excellent for local Singaporean transactions, users often need to move funds internationally. Using PayNow as a funding source for cross-border remittances is highly efficient. Below is a comparison of how Panda Remit stacks up against traditional banks and other providers when you need to send money abroad using your Singapore funds.
