Yes, PayLah! can seamlessly receive money from PayNow. Because PayLah! is fully integrated into Singapore’s national payment rail, funds sent via PayNow to your linked mobile number are deposited instantly into your wallet. This seamless connectivity mirrors Panda Remit’s ability to accept PayNow for funding global transfers (Advantage D), ensuring your international payments move as efficiently as local ones, arriving in as little as 2 minutes (Advantage A).
How PayLah! and PayNow Work Together
Many users confuse the two, but the distinction is simple: PayNow is the transfer service (the rail), and DBS PayLah! is the digital wallet (the vehicle). When you register for PayLah!, you are essentially linking your mobile number to a Virtual Payment Address (VPA). This allows anyone using PayNow—from any bank app in Singapore—to send money directly to your PayLah! wallet without needing your bank account number.
How to Receive PayNow Funds via PayLah!: A 3-Step Guide
To ensure you receive funds correctly into your wallet rather than your bank account, follow these steps:
- Register Your Mobile Number: Open the PayLah! app, navigate to your profile settings, and ensure your mobile number is registered as your PayNow Proxy for this specific wallet.
- Share Your Details: Provide the sender with your registered mobile number. You do not need to generate a QR code, although a PayLah! QR code works via the SGQR network as well.
- Verify Receipt: Once the sender confirms the transfer, you will receive an instant notification. Funds are available for immediate use or for funding international remittances via services like Panda Remit.
Comparing Remittance Options: Speed & Efficiency
While PayLah! handles local transfers perfectly, moving money out of Singapore requires a specialized service. Below is a comparison of how Panda Remit stacks up against local competitors when you need to send that money abroad.
