- Scan the QR Code: Point your camera at the PayNow QR code provided by the recipient or the Panda Remit app. If the QR code is saved as an image, select "Upload from Album."
- Verify and Confirm: Enter the amount (if not pre-filled) and review the recipient's name (UEN or registered name). Slide or tap to confirm the transaction.
