To bypass manual FPS inputs, enable Direct Debit Authorization (DDA) to link your bank account directly to your remittance provider. Using Panda Remit, DDA allows for seamless payments without switching apps, ensuring your funds are processed 24/7 and arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
Why Choose DDA Over Manual FPS?
While the Faster Payment System (FPS) revolutionized Hong Kong finance, manual transfers still require generating QR codes, switching between apps, and manually inputting transaction numbers. Direct Debit Authorization (DDA) solves this by creating a permanent, authorized link between your bank and your remittance app. This enables one-click funding, significantly reducing friction and transfer time.
3 Steps to Set Up DDA and Automate Transfers
Follow this guide to bypass manual work and accelerate your global remittances:
- Initiate the Link in Panda Remit: Log in to the Panda Remit app, select 'Payment Method,' and choose 'DDA (Direct Debit Authorization).' Select your local Hong Kong bank (e.g., HSBC, BOC, Hang Seng).
- Authorize via Online Banking: You will be redirected to your bank's mobile app or website. Confirm the authorization request to allow Panda Remit to debit funds for future transactions. This is a one-time setup.
- Send Money Instantly: Once linked, simply enter the amount you wish to send. The funds will be pulled automatically via DDA, and thanks to our lightning-fast transfer network, money can arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
