Yes, you can transfer money from DBS PayLah! to your bank account instantly via PayNow.

We support seamless payments via PayNow directly from your wallet and offer lightning-fast transfers that can arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
How to Transfer Money from PayLah! to Your Bank Account
Moving money from your mobile wallet to a bank account is a common need for liquidity. Below is the standard process for local withdrawals, followed by how to use those funds for global remittances.
Option 1: Withdrawing to a Local Singapore Bank Account
If you have linked your DBS/POSB account to PayLah!, the transfer is immediate. For other banks, you can use PayNow.
- Log in to your DBS PayLah! App.
- Select Transfer and choose "To My Account" (for linked DBS/POSB) or "PayNow" (for other banks).
- Enter the amount and confirm. The funds are usually credited instantly.
Option 2: Transferring to an Overseas Bank Account (Via Panda Remit)
If your goal is to send money to a bank account abroad (e.g., in China, India, or Malaysia), Panda Remit allows you to pay directly using your PayLah! wallet via PayNow without withdrawing to a local bank first.
Follow these 3 simple steps:
- Initiate Transfer: Open the Panda Remit app, enter the amount, and select your destination currency. You will see competitive exchange rates with zero hidden fees.
- Select Payment Method: Choose PayNow as your payment option. Panda Remit will generate a unique UEN or QR code.
- Pay via PayLah!: Open your PayLah! app, scan the QR code or enter the UEN, and complete the transfer. Your funds can arrive in the recipient's overseas bank account in as little as 2 minutes.
