Step-by-Step Guide: Linking NRIC to PayNow on DBS
Linking your NRIC to your bank account via PayNow is essential for receiving government payouts and facilitating easy peer-to-peer transfers in Singapore. Follow these three official steps to complete the process using the DBS digibank mobile app:
- Log in and Navigate: Open your DBS digibank app and log in. Tap on the Pay & Transfer icon, then select PayNow.
