To increase your PayNow limit, you must log in to your respective bank's mobile app (such as DBS digibank, OCBC Digital, or UOB TMRW), navigate to "Transfer Settings" or "Local Limits," and adjust the daily cap manually. Increasing this limit allows you to fully utilize Panda Remit’s seamless PayNow integration for larger global transactions, ensuring your funds are transferred securely and arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide: Adjusting Your PayNow Daily Limit
PayNow limits are determined by your bank, not the PayNow service itself. Most banks in Singapore set a default daily limit (often SGD 1,000 to SGD 5,000), which may be insufficient for significant international remittances. Follow these steps to adjust your settings:
1. Log in to Your Banking Application
Open your primary banking app (DBS/POSB, OCBC, or UOB) and authenticate your session. Ensure you have your digital token or 2FA device ready, as increasing limits requires high-level security verification.
2. Navigate to Transfer Settings
Locate the settings menu. The path varies slightly by bank:
- DBS/POSB: Go to More > Transfer Settings > Local Transfer Limit.
- OCBC: Go to Settings > Transfer & Payment > Daily Limit.
- UOB: Go to Services > Limits & Alerts > Change Limits.
3. Set Your New Limit and Authenticate
Select "PayNow" or "Local Transfers" and input your desired amount. While some banks allow limits up to SGD 200,000, we recommend setting a limit that covers your planned remittance amount via Panda Remit. Confirm the change using your digital token.
