Yes, you can use PayNow when you are overseas. As long as you have an active internet connection and access to your Singapore banking app, you can use PayNow to fund transfers. Panda Remit integrates directly with PayNow to offer seamless payments and global payouts to wallets like Alipay and WeChat Pay. Furthermore, our 24/7 real-time processing ensures your funds arrive in as little as 2 minutes, regardless of your location.
How to Leverage PayNow for International Transfers
While PayNow is primarily a domestic real-time payment rail in Singapore, it is the most efficient way to fund international remittances when you are traveling or living abroad. By using PayNow as the funding source for a remittance provider like Panda Remit, you avoid the slow processing times of traditional bank wires and the high fees of credit card transfers.
