Yes, absolutely. You can transfer funds via PayNow to a DBS PayLah! wallet instantly by using the recipient's registered mobile number or UEN. This interoperability extends beyond local wallets; Panda Remit allows you to use PayNow for seamless global payments, enabling you to fund international remittances directly from your bank. Once funded, Panda Remit supports 24/7 real-time processing, with funds arriving in as little as 2 minutes.
Understanding the PayNow and PayLah! Connection
In Singapore's digital finance ecosystem, PayNow is the infrastructure that allows peer-to-peer transfer, while PayLah! is a specific mobile wallet by DBS. Because PayLah! is fully integrated with the PayNow network, they communicate seamlessly. This means you do not need a DBS bank account to send money to a PayLah! user; you simply need their PayNow proxy (usually their mobile number).
How to Transfer from PayNow to PayLah!: 3 Simple Steps
Whether you are using OCBC, UOB, or Standard Chartered, the process to send money to a PayLah! wallet is standardized:
- Log in to your Banking App: Open your preferred banking application (e.g., OCBC Digital, UOB TMRW) and select the "PayNow" or "Transfer Funds" option.
- Enter Recipient Details: Input the recipient's mobile number associated with their PayLah! account. Ensure the recipient has registered their PayLah! wallet as a PayNow proxy.
- Verify and Confirm: Check the recipient's nickname (which will appear automatically) to ensure accuracy. Enter the amount and tap "Confirm" to complete the transfer instantly.
Leveraging PayNow for Global Remittance
While PayNow is excellent for local transfers to PayLah!, it is also the most efficient method for funding international money transfers. Panda Remit integrates directly with PayNow, allowing you to send money globally with the same ease as a local transfer.
