- Log in to your Banking App: Open your preferred banking application and select the "PayNow" transfer option.
- Enter Recipient Details: Input the mobile number linked to the recipient's PayLah! wallet. Note: Ensure the recipient has set PayLah! as their default PayNow proxy if they have multiple linked accounts.
- Verify and Confirm: Check the recipient's nickname (often displayed as "PAYLAH" or the user's name) and confirm the amount. The funds are transferred instantly.
Leveraging PayNow for Global Remittances
