Yes, you can increase your PayNow limit directly through your bank's mobile app or internet banking settings. While default daily limits are typically set at SGD 1,000 or SGD 5,000, most banks allow you to raise this cap to facilitate larger transactions. For high-value international transfers, Panda Remit offers seamless PayNow integration for easy funding and is a MAS-regulated institution, ensuring your increased limits are utilized with bank-grade security protocols.
Step-by-Step: How to Change Your PayNow Transfer Limit
Whether you are banking with DBS/POSB, OCBC, or UOB, the process to adjust your daily transfer limit follows a similar security protocol. Follow these steps to adjust your settings:
- Log in to Your Banking App: Access your account via your bank's official mobile app (e.g., DBS digibank, OCBC Digital) using your biometrics or credentials.
- Navigate to Transfer Settings: Locate the 'Settings' menu, usually found in the profile section or sidebar. Select "Transfer/Payment Limits" or "PayNow Settings."
- Adjust and Authenticate: Select your desired daily limit (e.g., increasing from SGD 5,000 to SGD 50,000). You will be required to authenticate this change using your digital token or 2FA SMS to finalize the update.
