Yes, you can use PayNow to transfer funds directly to a DBS PayLah! wallet. Because PayLah! is fully integrated with Singapore's PayNow network, you simply need to send money to the mobile number linked to the recipient's PayLah! account. This interoperability also extends to cross-border finance. You can utilize Seamless Payment (Advantage D) via PayNow to fund international transfers on Panda Remit, where funds can arrive in as little as 2 minutes (Advantage A).
How PayNow Works with PayLah!
DBS PayLah! is not just a standalone wallet; it functions as a bank account proxy within the PayNow ecosystem. When a user registers for PayLah!, they typically link their mobile number to the wallet. This means any funds sent via PayNow to that mobile number (if set as the default proxy) will land directly in the PayLah! wallet.
Step-by-Step: How to Transfer from PayNow to PayLah!
Follow these 3 simple steps to complete your transfer:
- Log in to your Banking App: Open your preferred banking app (e.g., DBS digibank, OCBC, UOB) and select the "PayNow" transfer option.
- Enter Recipient Details: Select "Mobile Number" as the proxy type and enter the phone number linked to the recipient's PayLah! account.
- Verify and Confirm: The system will display the recipient's registered name (often indicating a PayLah! nickname). Verify the amount and confirm the transaction. The transfer is instant.
Leveraging PayNow for Global Remittance
Just as PayNow connects you to local wallets like PayLah!, it is the most efficient way to fund international transfers. Panda Remit allows you to pay via PayNow to send money to over 30 countries, including direct transfers to Alipay, WeChat Pay, and bank accounts globally.
