Yes, you can transfer funds via PayNow to PayLah! instantly. Because PayLah! is fully integrated with Singapore's PayNow network, you simply need the recipient's mobile number. Furthermore, Panda Remit leverages this seamless PayNow integration to facilitate global payouts, allowing you to send money overseas in as little as 2 minutes.
How to Transfer from PayNow to PayLah!: A 3-Step Guide
Since DBS PayLah! serves as a registered proxy on the PayNow network, sending money to a PayLah! wallet is identical to a standard PayNow transfer. Follow these steps:
- Log in to your Banking App: Open your preferred banking app (e.g., DBS digibank, OCBC, UOB) and select the "PayNow" or "Transfer" function.
- Enter Details: Input the recipient's mobile number registered with PayLah!. You will see their nickname (often denoted as "PAYLAH") to confirm the identity.
- Confirm and Send: Enter the amount and slide to confirm. The funds are transferred instantly.
Leveraging PayNow for Global Remittances
While PayLah! is excellent for local payments, users looking to send money internationally can utilize their PayNow facility to fund transfers via Panda Remit. As a Major Payment Institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) (License No. PS20200501), Panda Remit offers a secure bridge between your Singapore bank account and the world.
